Dr Goodarzi has been so wonderful and knowledgeable, she even has taken the time to call me after hours to ensure my daughter has what she needs. We are in good hands with her and would recommend to other parents looking for a pediatric dermatologist! read more

I would highly recommend children's dermatology to anyone who needs help with their child's acne. We love Dr. Goodarzi. She is so helpful and so thorough. We also had a laser surgery done, and that went amazingly. read more

It's always a pleasure to see Dr. Goodarzi. Her office is welcoming and professional, and I appreciate how they take follow-up pictures to monitor progression. She is fantastic with children! Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Goodarzi helped our newborn doctor when she was about 4 months old and had severe eczema. We've tried all kinds of lotions and ointments, but nothing was working. Dr. Goodarzi had us try a 2 day therapy with wet wraps and topical steroids and it was truly a miracle and helped clear up her eczema and rashes all over her body. Our daughter's skin is doing a lot better and with the occasional mild flare ups here and there. read more

Don't take your kids to this office. I have never seen a doctor calling a patient and yelling! I took my daughter to her office last Wednesday and she changed her antibiotics for her infected rashes. We couldn't get the new medication since it wasn't approved by insurance. So the pharmacy asked the doctor for alternatives and she didn't respond despite numerous attempts. Pharmacy asked me to follow up with the doctor. Waiting for 2 days and constantly leaving them a message, the nurse finally called and had no idea what was going on. She said that she will talk to the doctor and will get back to me. After 2 more days the doctor called and yelled at me that I have no place asking the staff for an update. She said the medication needs prior authorization that takes a week to approve and if we're in a rush we can see another dermatologist! I was so shocked. All I asked was just the medication for my daughter. It had already been 5 days since we were at her office and there appears to be no motivation or care to follow up by anyone. A simple call back explaining the wait period would have been sufficient. Completely unprofessional, rude and disrespectful! This Dr. raised her voice during the entire phone call and kept interrupting me while I was trying to explain what the situation was. I'm not sure if I could trust her diagnosis at this point. If you care about your kids and their skin, this office is not a place to go. read more

We have been seeing Dr. Heidi Goodarzi for over a year, and it has truly been a wonderful experience. My son has level 3 autism, which comes with additional challenges on top of his dermatology concerns. From the very beginning, Dr. Goodarzi has been exceptional in caring for him. She quickly identified his skin condition when others were unable to do so, and his skin has improved tremendously under her treatment. Dr. Goodarzi is warm, patient, and welcoming, which makes a significant difference. Finding medical professionals who can effectively communicate with and understand my son can be difficult, and she does so with great compassion and skill. We highly recommend her and will absolutely continue going to her office read more

Amazing!!!!! Dr. Goodarzi is absolutely incredible. My toddler looks forward to seeing her "eczema doctor" whenever we go. She is friendly, kind, and extremely knowledgeable! Heaven sent. We are extremely grateful to her for saving our daughters skin. I now have the tools to keep my baby girl's skin under control. Her eczema has cleared up and she is a happy girl again. Also, her office is clean and all the ladies working there are so friendly every visit. We drive over an hour to her office because she is just that good! read more

We love Dr. Heidi Goodarzi so much! My daughter was having really bad eczema right after her baby acne went away when she turned 2 months so we took her to a few different places in MN since I moved out of state but none of the remedies given to her really worked long term - they were all temporary fixes that helped for a short period of time. When she was 4 months, me and my husband was planning a trip to bring baby to visit her grandparents in CA and figured I would try to find a good Pediatric Dermatologist while there and stumbled upon Dr. Goodarzi's reviews AND THANK GOODNESS I DID! Dr. Goodarzi was such a pleasure, right off the bat I could tell she really loves what she does. She also was able to completely help my daughter's skin and now we have our little girl back. Her eczema is under control and it's given me so much relief from all those sleepless nights worrying about her skin itching. Dr. Goodarzi is super sweet and super personable. She also provides Teladoc so, even though we are from out of state, we know we can always contact her if needed. Me and my husband can't rave about her enough and we literally recommend her to all of our friends and family! read more

The care and attention Dr. Heidi has for her patients is wonderful. She went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met and it exceed our expectations. We will definitely return if we are ever in need. read more

Took great care of my newborn. Helped provide the information we needed to make informed decisions. A pleasure to be around.

We are very grateful for dr Heidi and her staff. My son has bad eczema. Dr Heidi gave very thorough instructions, and also education as well. Just one week, my son's skin cleared, and no more scratching! Parents, don't be afraid to do the bleach bath and wet wrap. They do wonders. read more

This was the worst experience. We waited for an hour for the doctor to come in. When she did come in, she was incredibly abrupt yelling that my son needed to trust her on multiple visits before she tried to lance a cyst (the entire reason we were there). My son said it was ok for her to try to lance it that day so we didn?t have to come back. She then told us to wait. We waited almost another hour and finally left after listening to her fight with another patient in the room next to us for an extended period of time. I paid the copay up front and then she billed my insurance as if she had performed the procedure (she did not). I tried to just let it go but then her office called threatening to send me to collections for an outstanding balance of $23.00. I am on day 2 of calling the office to try and get them to remove the charge as she has already been overpaid. Nightmare experience. On a side note, the office was dirty and there was a fly in our room that I could not get out. read more

This review is well overdue from my visit September 2024. I was in search of a pediatric derm for my son and was surprised to find they had an opening so soon! I was able to get an appointment for the following week when everyone else was booked months out. Was this too good to be true? Sadly yes. I made sure to ask the front office that this appointment is with Dr. Goodarzi. They confirmed yes. Cool, maybe I just got lucky with a cancelled appointment. On the day of the appointment I was greeted by a provider who did not introduce herself. I thought she definitely looked different from the website but figured my mind was playing tricks. She proceeded to list some pharmacological recommendations that were not appropriate for my infant. When I challenged her on this, she backtracked and decided it was probably not a good idea to proceed but she thinks she's seen pediatric derms do so. Ok? You seem really sure of yourself for someone who's allegedly board certified. When I left the appointment I double checked the website and saw the provider definitely was not Dr. Goodarzi. Then why do my son's medications say they're prescribed by her? I called the office to ask who we were seen by and was given the name Dr. Suzanne Mokhtari. Cool. Is she a dermatologist? No. I had a scheduled appointment with a Dr. Goodarzi, and got seen by Dr. Mokhtari, a general pediatrician. I don't know what's worse? The office scheduling me for one doctor and not communicating that I'd be seen by another? The provider falsely signing off on my visit as another Dr? I go to a derm office to be seen by a pediatrician. Great. I was just at his actual pediatrician a week ago who recommended a derm. I went in a circle and feel misled. Super unprofessional. Do not recommend. read more

Dear parents, I've spent so many hours on the internet digging for solution to clear up my son's skin. Tried different kinds of lotions and baby washes but nothing worked. Please take a moment and see what Dr.Heidi have done to my son's skin. I have no other words but to thank her from the bottom of my heart. I still cannot believe that my son's skin cleared up in just two days after meeting with Dr.Heidi. I regret not taking my son to her sooner. read more

Dr. Goodarzi is honestly one of the best doctors I've ever had. She's incredibly caring and always takes the time to really listen to what her patients want and how they're feeling, which makes such a huge difference. You never feel rushed or brushed off in her office it's clear she genuinely cares about your well-being.Plus, she's hilarious! She has such a great sense of humor and lights up the room the moment she walks in. Even on days when you might be nervous or not feeling your best, she somehow manages to put you at ease and make you smile. Her staff is also amazing. Everyone is super nice and patient. You really feel like you're in good hands from start to finish. read more

This review is based on scheduling/front desk since we did not get a chance to see the doctor. I show up on time for my appointment with my 8 month old just to be told that the Dr woke up with a cough which is understandable and I appreciate her not wanting to get patients sick but a courtesy call would have been nice before driving 30 minutes to my appointment. This was our first time visiting the office so not the greatest first impression. Will update review if we decide to come back and hopefully meet with the doctor. read more

Dr. Heidi Goordazi was the only doctor that validated my concerns and helped figure out what was going on with my loved one. When it comes to her practice and professional demeanor, Dr. Goodarzi is patient, empathetic and is passionate about her role as a physician. I wish more doctors were as hard working as her. She caught a medical issue when other doctors were constantly dismissing our concerns. I would recommend Dr. Heidi Goodarzi. It's worth getting another opinion if you're not happy with the care you're getting, especially if you are taking care of little humans. read more

Dr. Goodarzi is absolutely incredible! There are not enough words to express my deepest appreciation for what she did for my little one. Background before Dr. Goodarzi: my little one was misdiagnosed with droll rash by his ex-pediatrician so my husband and I treated it as drool rash. The medical advice of rubbing the area clean by this ex-pediatrician caused his eczema to flare up. When I say flare up, it was bad--all over his body--and it kept growing and getting more infected despite everything we tried per medical recommendations. We then noticed our once sleep-through-the-night baby waking up every 1-2 hours, screaming for us. We think the pain from the eczema would wake him up. So of course his affect was impacted He grew more quite and his emotional range was slightly muted except when he would cry and scream for us. He struggled with food exploration and eating. He even refused food that he used to devour pre-eczema flare up. When I said it was bad, it was bad. And our ex-pediatrician was giving us the worse advice to treat it. So, my husband and I were desperate to help our little one. We decided enough was enough and we did our own research to find someone who could help. My husband found Dr. Goodarzi on Yelp (thank you, Yelp!) and immediately called her office. Thankfully she had an opening less than a month away and of course we grabbed that appointment slot. The moment we met with Dr. Goodarzi, we knew we found the person who could help our little one. She immediately diagnosed him with eczema and put him on a topical treatment. We noticed an immediate improvement. Our little one's sleep is slowly improving. He is no longer screaming and crying out when he wakes up. He is eating now! His demeanor also changed. He is our smiling, giggling, and laughing baby who loves initiating and joining social interactions with others. It is amazing to see him come back, and I thank Dr. Goodarzi for helping our little one. I wish Yelp had a feature to add more stars because Dr. Goodarzi deserves all of the extra stars and more. She is a very rare doctor. She is incredible at what she does and immensely cares for her patients. She is truly a special human being, and we are extremely grateful that she entered our lives. read more

My daughter had surgery recently for a cyst on her right forearm. I found Dr. Heidi to be extremely professional but also kind to her little patients. She spoke directly to my daughter so she could understand what was going on and what she had to do. This was my daughters first time having any kind of surgery so of course as a mother, I was worried. Dr. Heidi mentioned that some patients are put under so general anesthesia for the surgery and some have local injection of painkiller. For the Doctor of course it is easier if the patient is asleep so she can remove the cyst quickly. She mentioned general anesthesia is not good for children's brain development so if child can handle just local anesthetic then it s a route she would prefer. As a mother I found that to be very comforting. After speaking with the Doctor she really put me at ease and I knew I was in good hands. The day of the surgery, my daughter was a bit nervous at first . Dr. Heidi did a great job of speaking with her to distract her during the surgery. My daughter is healing now and we are following the doctors instructions to clear up the scar. If you have any Children's dermatology needs, do not hesitate. I will be recommending all my friends to see her !You will be in good hands !! read more

Dr Goodarzi has been very helpful and her expertise on dermatology issues for my infant son is remarkable. We have been looking for a doctor with this kind of specialization since regular pedia or adult derma doctors are not so keen when it comes to baby's skin issues. I am so glad, we have Dr Heidi to check up on our son's eczema because the regimen we're on really worked well. We love her office and staff are prompt and answers our inquiries on medications and provides progress notes on the same day. read more

We have been to see Dr. Goodarzi a few times with our young son, and she is really wonderful. I always feel reassured about our son's condition: she is clear, confident, and personable. My 5 year old son thinks she is great, and I leave her office with peace of mind. read more

Doctor explained conditions and made my baby feel comfortable during the visit. The treatments she recommended worked immediately to help treat my babies eczema. read more

Dr.Goodarzi is incredible. She provided us with very thorough care and made sure our child felt at ease throughout the procedure. She shared a little bit about her method working with children and I fully support her approach with regards to the best care for your child. The day of our procedure she was running a bit behind due to a more complex patient ahead of us but she still managed to fit us in to her schedule instead of forcing a reschedule. Thank you, doctor! read more

Dr. Goodarzi is absolutely AMAZING! My 7 month old had been suffering from severe eczema for months. She was itchy and uncomfortable all day and night to the point where it was affecting her sleep. I wish I would have taken pictures of the before because it is literally day and night difference. If your baby is itchy, uncomfortable, and fussy because they suffer with eczema please don't hesitate to make an appointment with Dr. Goodarzi your baby will thank you! Thank you Dr. Goodarzi for helping baby Ayah get back to being her happy giggly self! We appreciate your kindness and professionalism may you continue your amazing work for many many years to come! read more

Simply the best. So patient and caring. My son's face and skin is so much better. Thank you so much.

Dr. Goodarzi was fantastic with my 10 year old. She had a growth that had to be treated and ultimately removed. It was a very scary situation for my daughter with the needles and the removal. Dr. Goodarzi did a great job being patient and calm and reassuring her it was going to be ok, even through all the crying. She was very thorough, sending the tissue in for testing so we know what we were dealing with and overall it was a success. The procedure caused very little scarring and my daughter is much happier now that it's been removed. The office staff is also awesome, super helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend Children's Dermatology! read more

From first contact to first visit - we are so grateful for the kind welcome and an excellent treatment plan for our daughter. Her skin condition began improving as soon as she started on the program Dr Goodarzi prescribed. She is on day 6 and what a massive improvement already. Dr Goodarzi saw exactly what she needed and the meds-dosages are precisely what our daughter needed. Thank you so much. read more

My daughters and I are always welcomed by her staffs and the doctor!! Dr.Goodarzi even remembers my girls every time we visit her office. We feel very comfortable taking enough time in the room to share experience with the doctor. She always pays a great attention on us and I LOVE the fact that Dr.Goodarzi always ALWAYS has answers for my questions! She even goes beyond my concerns and gives me instruction which perfectly worked on my girls. I, myself, am planning to visit her Newport Beach office and so does my husband! Thank you Dr.Goodarzi!!! You are amazing!!!!:) read more

I came to Children's dermatology for my son's eczema issue. Since we had been there prior for my daughter and the Dr was good, I figured it would be best to come back for my son. This review is not about the Dr as we did not even get a chance to see her. My appointment was at 1:30pm and I finally got up to check my son in at 1:50pm. Yes I was technically late but not of my own doing. First, the parking lot for this facility is a joke. It takes about 10 minutes just to get through to get a ticket to park. Then, to actually park and walk to this facility is another trek. And technically I was there at 1:40pm but there was a line of people checking out, making new appointments. If I was a rude person, I would have pushed my way to the front just to check us in. After this whole ordeal to just check in, I was informed that my tardiness was considered a no-show and I was charged $50. I was told my the front desk that I "could" wait but we may not get even get seen. That everyone else ahead of me and behind me would have to get seen at their appointment times. I was never informed that being 20 minutes late would be considered a no show, I would have rather not shown up than go through that whole process just to be turned away. Frankly, that front office needs to figure their setup out. You shouldn't be checking people out in the same area people are checking in. I am being penalized for being polite and waiting my turn. Very poor customer service and bad experience overall. read more

I had been dealing with my daughters primary Dr. and was getting improper diagnosis and they kept drugging her with different medications of which none worked. One visit with Dr. Goodarzi and I instantly knew 1 - I liked her and 2- she knew what she was talking about. I got my prescriptions that night and by morning I was already seeing improvement. My daughter had been suffering over a month and Dr. Goodarzi instantly helped. I can't recommend her enough!!!!! She is so caring and the front office is so friendly. I was taking notes and I didn't even need them because she gave me paperwork with everything I needed. read more

My son has bad eczema since he was 2 months old, and now he is a year old. His skin condition was diagnosed as allergies related condition. We had blood work done to test for food allergy. Despite of preventative measures, his skin condition was still getting worst. His condition was so bad to the point he went to CHOC hospital on my first Mother Day with him. His eczema causes him to have lack of sleep, underweight, long sleeve shirts and pants, gloves and socks are wore all the time regardless of hot summer weather. After searching Dermatologist on Google, I've decided to put my bet to see Dr. Goodarzi. I'm glad that I did. Yesterday, I took my son to Children's Dermatology at Orange. As soon as Dr. Goodarzi looked at my son, she already knew how to treat my son's eczema. After a night of bleach bath and wet wrap, my son was able to get 8 hours of sleep for the first time in 10 months without constant waking up or scratching himself. This morning he is a happy baby. My son will see Dr. Goodarzi in a week, I'm hoping his eczema will fully resolved by then. I'm grateful to both Drs. at Children's Dermatology. I'm admired Dr. Goodarzi for her knowledge and expertise. I will recommend Dr. Goodarzi to any babies who are suffering the same skin condition like my son. read more

I have to say that Dr. Heidi G. is STELLAR- she alone gets 5 star plus. I do , however, in good conscience, have to say that her office staff leaves a bit to be desired. They were not that helpful and a bit rude when posed with a question to which they did not know the answer. (I liken it to young cashiers that do not know how to add or subtract making change if the COMPUTERIZED register goes out-sheer panic.) THAT being SAID, PLEASE do not be DISSUADED from bringing your children to see her. Her level of ease and comforting manner with children are top-notch. Her knowledge in her field (she has a fabulously informative website as well) are first rate. Dr. G gets a 5 star plus+-in our book and if you have any concerns or questions, she is MORE THAN happy to answer all of them and put you and your child at ease!! GO see Dr. G!!! read more

Wish I would have taken my daughter to Dr Heidi sooner. My daughter has had eczema for a couple years and had tried everything from steroid creams to natural creams. Dr Heidi gave us a plan that is working, including follow up to ensure we're on the right path. Her office is easy to work with and appointments are on time. Thank you! read more

Meeting Dr Heidi for the first time was great. She was extremely sweet to my autistic 6 y.o. She is very thorough and doesn't just rx topicals for eczema, she also wanted labs to check for possible foundational deficiencies. Glad my daughter is in great care of an expert! read more

Dr Heidi and her staff are amazing. We felt taken care of from the moment of making an appointment to checking out with a follow up appointment scheduled. My daughter is shy and stubborn and Dr Heidi was so patient with her and able to make her feel more comfortable. We've also been so several pediatric dermatologists and I've never had a doctor take the time to explain her skin issues with such clarity. Very little wait time, friendly front desk... definitely recommend! read more

Dr. Heidi is gentle and knowledgeable. She learned about our situation and then individualized a treatment plan for my daughters eczema needs. On both of my visits I was about 10 minutes late, however, the office staff was friendly and said it was okay. I visited the location in Orange in which I learned you have to park across the street and then walk to the building. The office staff gave me a parking voucher/or validated my ticket, can't remember the term they used but ask them so you don't have to pay for parking. Overall, 10/10 experience. I am grateful for the service she provides to our children. read more
