HK Dermatology staff are just the kindest & genuinely helpful crew. I have seen both Elena PA & Dr Klein & have had positive experiences. The team is also worth praising as they fight the battle with insurances on patients behalf. Shout out to Kim & team who have consistently advocated to insurance on my behalf and worked on all the prior auths, new prior auths when insurance changed, and enrollments for patient assistance when insurance declines a mediation that the dermatology professionals have ordered. Not only do they provide great patient care, but deliver a great patient experience as well. I've been with HK dermatology for several years now & highly recommend. read more

i came in for a small dermatological procedure. all the ladies were very nice. Lauren & Amy at the front were very welcoming. Alex was the (nurse?medical assistant?rn? not sure her title sorry!) young lady who helped me in my room & went over medical history etc. she was so warm & professional, she put me at ease even though i was nervous. Elena Novak was the PA & she was so wonderful! with her & Alex in the room they distracted me with friendly conversation so my procedure was over quickly. they both made sure i was comfortable & Elena gave me clear & easy verbal aftercare instructions. i do wish they gave your a physical summary and/or receipt but they said that would be emailed to me. when i made the appointment i was told i would receive an email where i could verify my appointment but i did not receive it. i literally just left the appointment so hopefully i'll receive something via email in the next couple days. i did verify my email & it is correct so that would be my only issue. what is more important though, is that i was taken care of & my medical issue has been addressed. all the staff here is great! my appointment took about an hour, maybe a little less. the young lady who checked me out/took my payment was also nice. thank you HK! read more

HK Dermatology - Dermatologists Near Me - San Juan Capistrano, California

Elena Novak is just SO DAMN SMART. AND KIND!! Am a physician myself who had an acute development of a skin issue that 2 other dermatologists, 2 allergists, an infectious disease specialist and myself could not figure out. Unlike the others, Ms. Novak spent nearly an hour with me, took an extensive history, was the first one to actually closely examine all the lesions with a dermatoscope, and was the only MD who did a scraping and punch biopsy. Immediately just based on exam she immediately suspected a relatively uncommon non contagious, noninfectious time limited condition, and the biopsy helped to confirm it. She nailed the diagnosis just based on exam! Her bedside manner was also so reassuring and empathetic. Prior to seeing her, I was in agonizing discomfort for three weeks, had spent $500 on creams and medicines that didn't help, was miserable because the pain and itchiness would only let me sleep 2-3 hours a night, and couldn't work because I didn't want to expose patients or my family until I knew it wasn't infectious. Thanks to her, I felt so reassured and relieved even before the biopsy results came back, and thanks to her advice which actually DIDN'T involve more medicines, my condition is showing signs of turning a corner and I'm finally getting sleep again. I'm also so thankful for the staff, who were so empathetic, got me in the same day after I explained how much discomfort I was in, and loaded me up with hypoallergenic laundry detergent/cream samples. I learned a lot from my experience there and I will definitely be referring my patients there. BEYOND grateful to her and all the staff there. Just a class act all around. read more

I am not very good at completing reviews, but since I make a point to use them to research for myself, I need to do my part. And I am so happy to report that I had a WONDERFUL experience at HK Dermatology in San Juan Cap. The phone call to make a new patient appt was seamless, the staff were all sweet, and Dr. Norma was excellent as a provider who listens and offers good advice. I am so happy to have found Dr. Norma and this office!!! read more

HK Dermotology is the best in Orange County by far!!! I am 45 years old and I am obsessed with skin care and skin health. I have visited their office at least five or six times within the past couple months to address some issues with basal cell cancer on my chest and neck as well as age spots, dull skin, acne scars etc. The surgery was painless and fast and it's only been a month or so and the scar is completely gone already!!!!! All of the doctors and staff are absolutely amazing, sweet and very caring! They have a very busy office yet they still try to accommodate me if I need to get squeezed in. I was prescribed some Tritonin, Bleaching cream and I bought Obaji Vitamin C 15%, as well as Doctor Kleins personal skin care line - Night repair cream. My skin texture, dull and old looking skin, brown and red spots have improved dramatically!!! Cannot say say enough about these folks! I will be a loyal customer for life! :) read more

See all

Dr Klein is amazing. I have been dealing with an issue for many years and got no help from other doctors, but Dr Klein had a non invasive option and it worked so well! He's also friendly and funny, helping make you feel comfortable during the process. I highly recommend. read more

This review is extremely overdue. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am to come across HK Dermatology. It was one of those late nights where I was feeling self conscious about the keloids on my back that I was browsing the Internet & SRT (superficial radiation therapy) for Keloids popped up. HK Dermatology is pretty much the only place that offers this service in SoCal. I immediately booked an appt. When I arrived, I met with Dr. Norma. Dr. Norma wanted to try a less invasive approach - steroid injections before we went with SRT. I didn't feel too confident about this bc I've gotten the injections before from 2 different dermatologists with little to no change. We got a second opinion from Dr. Klein who brainstormed with Dr. Norma to come up with the best approach. Fast forward 5 months later & my keloids are COMPLETLETLY flat! I can't believe it. The injections were painless as well which I couldn't believe either!! Dr. Norma combined the corticosteroid with another medication to make the injections completely painless & to give me the best results. I truly believe with Dr. Klein & Dr. Norma's experience, that they have so much knowledge & can always come up with the best solution for whatever skin problems you may have. Not to mention, she is the sweetest lady ever. Thank you so much Dr. Norma!! read more

If I could give more stars I would! I had a small cancerous tumor removed, they made the process incredibly comfortable and easy. Dr. Norma was an artist, no scar 6 weeks after healing (and it was on my forehead). Nurse Amy, best kindest nurse walked me through the whole procedure with a positive energy, laughter and very attentive. Dr. Elana has been great at my screenings and is the one who found the tumor when other dermatologist hadn't. Highly recommend them, wonderful job all! THANK YOU! Marc Seal read more

I have been a patient here for many years and the care has always been very high quality. However, simply making an appointment is a nightmare. Their booking website doesn't work and when you attempt to schedule via phone you get put on hold and forgotten. After numerous attempts I finally had to go elsewhere. read more

Beware of duplicate bills! In the process of switching their payment system they've sent me bills that I've already paid. I know switching systems is no easy task but sending duplicate bills multiple times--months after the service was even done--is totally unacceptable. I also appreciate a doctor who can help me understand my problems and treatments. Dr. Klein was not this type of doctor and was always in a rush out the door and asking me to come in again rather than spend a minute talking to me. My arm still has a rash, I still don't know what it is, and I don't even know what it was they pumped into my arm three times trying to fix it. I'll certainly be going somewhere else in the future and hope Dr. Klein and his billing staff read this and make changes. read more

The entire experience was fast, comfortable, and very professional. Thank you Doctor Elena! You helped me so much and I feel a whole lot better knowing I'm skin cancer free. She even pointed me to a free phone app called goodrx to find a discount on my prescription. Above and beyond for sure. read more

Amazing staff! So friendly! I saw Elena. She was informative, friendly and kind. I will be back!!

Kindest doctors and staff in all of Orange County! Having been to many dermatologists, this was the first place that took the extra time and resource to make sure every injection and biopsy was as painless as possible. As someone who is not a big fan of needles, having a provider who spends three times the time to perform nearly painless injections, literally, is worth the wait! Best dermatology office ever! read more

I have Kaiser insurance but I didn't want to hassle with them to check on a mole. I called this office and they were very friendly on the phone and in person they booked an apt for a few days out.. They offered a mole check where can do a spot check or whole body check for $125.00. I came in and the Dr and she was great. She made me feel comfortable. She checked all of my moles with a light and microscope. Happy to say I was clear and had piece of mind for $125.00. Would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to be checked quickly. read more

Shortly after my previous review, Michele contacted me to apologize for what happened and worked with me to schedule a procedure. This was over a weekend when the office wasn't even open and she was even out of town. I am so grateful to the staff at HK dermatology for going the extra mile to help make things right. Between this and how wonderful both Dr. Norma and Elena are, this place deserves nothing short of 5 stars. read more

Dr Jeffrey Klein is a horrible excuse of a dr he is inhumane he has no compassion for his patients he has no bed side manor at all this man should not be a drhis license should be revoked and he should never be allowed to practice medicine again this dr did my liposuction back in 2011 he did a botched job on me that cost me $7000 then just recently my husband went to him for some skin conditions and to have some skin tags removed and he discriminated against my husband because my husband is overweight he told my husband that he did not have a table strong enough to hold him he then told my husband to stop eating how rude how dare he say that to a patient who does this dr think he is he discriminates against over weight people he thinks over weight people don't deserve the same treatment as people who are not over weight that is discrimination being over weight is not necessarily only from over eating it could be genetics too and certain medications can cause weight gain as well so to make that statement to stop eating was cruel and very unprofessional this dr is incompetent and he does horrible work he does not care if the patient is happy with his work all he cares about is the money bottom line he does not even deserve 1 star please whatever you do don't go to this dr stay away read more

Dr. Kassardjian was very reassuring, kind, and helped me to solve my problem effectively and in a timely fashion. I look forward to my next appointment with her! Anybody looking for a dermatologist in Orange County and the surrounding areas will be greatly happy to contact their office for all their dermatology needs! read more

My 6 years old get warts on his face and fingers . We went to a local dermatologist. He scared my son and told us he might need to remove his nail treat the warts . Then we find HK. The front desk linda and other staff are super nice when we arrived. Starting from nurse practitioner Alena, she was so patient. She told my son they will take care of it. Nothing to be scared. When Jeffrey Klein show up. I know I am the right place. He was so kind and nice. Told me the treatment. My son was scared at the first then all the nurse and Doc Klein was waiting for him ready. We did the treatment and my son told me Doc Klein is the coolest Doc. Highly recommend this place . read more

I went in for a full skin exam and some specific spots of particular concern. "Dr Norma" as she is known did a great job. Fast, efficient and very pleasant to deal with. I chose to have one spot surgically removed. She did it very quickly and I felt nothing. One week later and I was hard pressed to even see where the surgery had been done. One month later and almost no trace of the work is visible. Excellent. Great staff too which is important. read more

Dr. Klein and his staff are top notch. I got Melanoma right during peek of covid pandemic and Dr. Klein made time to fit me in and do an excision when they were having limited hrs and in person visits. He did an amazing job, i hardly have a scare. All the docs are great and staff is very friendly and helpful. I think their the best dermo docs in O.C. read more

I was encouraged to see Dr. Norma by a colleague of mine. I was having an issue with some pre-cancerous areas on my face. It did not seem a big deal to me, but when the scabs were not healing, my significant other insisted I see a dermatologist. Being a medical professional myself, it is always interesting being the patient instead of the physician, and I must tell you that this office passed with flying colors. The reception and assistants were all knowledgeable and efficient. Dr. Norma was very friendly, compassionate, and caring. She answered all of my questions, was not the least bit harried or hurried, and did a marvelous job reassuring me that everything would be taken care of. From start to finish, the visit took about 45 minutes! When was the last time you heard that at a doctors office? And surgery was performed! All top notch service and care. Highly recommended. read more

We did SRT treatment for Keloids on the earlobe for my daughter. Dr. Norma was really patient and answered all my questions and doubts. The radiologist Tammy is really good and performed the treatment with great care. We are happy with the results ! read more

the visit itself was a fine experience. I had a mole removed... I was told by the doctor it would just be my co pay and the rest of it will be taken care by my insurance. I specifically asked otherwise I was going to hold off for a little while because of financial situations. I later got a bill for $110. I called to ask why since I was told by jo my insurance is going to cover it they checked and all they said was the doctor shouldn't have told you that... soooo yeah I won't be going back. read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I totally would! The entire staff was so professional, nice and made me feel so comfortable. Everything was so organized and clean. I got the new Jeuveau or "Newtox" and it was so reasonable priced! Michelle did the procedure and she was so gentle and was letting me know every step she was doing. She put numbing cream on me before starting so I didn't feel a thing! This was my first time with HK Dermatology AND getting Newtox and I can promise you it won't be my last! Thank you! read more

I went here for the first time a few months ago and with Covid and my move it took me longer than usual to write this review. I do want to say how much I loved my visit for botox. Unfortunately I do not remember her name :( I think it was something that started with an M. Everyone was very cautious and clean and followed all Covid guidelines but mainly the lady that administered my Botox was very gentle sweet. I will definitely visit her when I'm in town. read more

This was my first experience seeing Dr. Klein and I will always recommend this office from here forward. I've been battling with some skin issues for a week now.. In and out of multiple derms, urgent cares, etc. My issue was never resolved until I came here. This is one of the first offices where I felt heard and that all the staff was actively listening to what I had to say. Dr. Klein was so efficient and knew how to get his points across without wasting any time. He said all the right things for me to understand my treatment and I haven't felt this relieved after leaving a doctors appointment ever. Thank you HK Derm, you guys are life savers! read more

Dr. Kassadjian is kind, gentle, and thorough in every interaction I've had with her. She personally calls and leaves detailed voicemails regarding lab results. I really appreciate this as I'm busy all day at work. I don't have to worry about back and forth communication or getting anxious awaiting call backs for results. I can tell she genuinely cares about her patient's well being. I fully expect to continue to see her for my all of my skincare needs. read more

Went back for my regular recheck. Dr Norma is patient, kind, and knowledgeable. She efficiently took care of my current questions, addressed each of them. I was on my way again in 30 minutes. I recommended her to a friend here at Reata Glen. We almost traded appointments, but when my friend called to see if that was acceptable, they worked out an earlier appointment for her, and I was able to accomplish my visit as scheduled. Thank you to the front staff, you are very accommodating. read more

The entire team at HK dermatology are absolutely amazing! On top of being so kind, they made me feel so comfortable! Michele, RN, did a fabulous job on my lip filler, she applied numbing cream beforehand and she walked me through, step-by-step, making the whole procedure pretty painless! read more

Dr. Klein and his staff are the best in the business! From start to finish, the entire staff was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and they answered all my questions. I was a little nervous about my surgery, but Dr. Klein took the time to patiently walk me through the procedure which calmed my nerves. Dr. Klein's surgical skills are unmatched! My surgery was flawless, I had no pain and my recovery was smooth. If you want the best, schedule an appointment with HK Dermatology! read more

Dr. Jeffery Klein of HK Dermatology, is the father of tumescent liposuction. And when it came time to quit delaying the inevitable (getting serious and tackling the extra pounds) weight that not only began creeping up in 2019, but when the Pandemic hit in March 2020, by April or May of that year, I gave myself permission to go nuts with indulgent snacking. And sugar became my best friend. I've always had a love affair with sugar and chocolate. Obviously, it was a one-sided love affair, and during 2020 - through 2021, my feeble attempts to undue the damage I was seeing in clothes that were much too tight, and hating what I saw in the mirror, I knew sooner-than-later I needed to get control over my bad habit. It would take a visit to my long-time dermatologist in Newport Beach, when I finally got the nerve to inquire if he knew of a very reputable doctor who performed liposuction. My doctor, highly recommended Dr. Jeffrey Klein of HK Dermatology in San Jan Capistrano, citing that Dr. Klein was the inventor of Tumescent Liposuction. After doing plenty of homework on the matter (Dr. Klein has not only trained countless plastic surgeons here in the U.S. but those from other countries too!), I am extremely glad that I chose him to perform these procedures - I had more than one done. Because, perhaps more than a few pounds that had registered on the scale, the extra weight was evenly distributed all across my body; from my flabby upper arms and all the way down across my chunky and jiggly stomach, abundant derrière, and massive thighs! My tumescent liposuctions procedures were evenly spaced out, and NOT all done at once. Nor, logically should they be. And I have nothing but very good things to say on behalf of Tumescent Lipo done by the master artist himself - Dr. Klein, as the results across my body, speak for themselves. Dr. Klein is a talented artist who wants the best for each of his patients! And his top-notch staff (a number of them have been working with him for years, and that kind of loyalty speaks volumes for the kind of doctor and man, Jeffrey Klein really is!) like, front-office personnel, Michel Horowitz, R.N. Practice Manager, and a surgical team member, Robin Bodkin, R.N. Perioperative Nurse, are just two of the many reasons that I would highly recommend why you should seriously consider, Dr. Jeffrey Klein. And your "Before, During, and After Care" treatment is carefully and professionally implemented. The patient's well being is ALWAYS taken in consideration. ** Did the results happen overnight? Well, no. And if you expect them to (and I'm no spring chicken!) wake -up! you are not being realistic. But my body did respond, and the inches came off followed by the pounds. As everyone is different when it comes to healing, perhaps the pounds will drop before the inches - who is to say? ** Did my husband notice as my shape really began to take shape? Hell yes! And after a number of years being married, it was nice to receive wolf whistles from him!! ** Did it hurt while healing? Yes. There was definite Soreness, but that WAS to be expected. Eventually, the soreness was a thing of the past, and the adits (the tiny holes from the lipo) faded away. I followed the Dr's. medical advice, and those of Robin Bodkin's too. Robin is a great source of information and a lovely person to pick her head. And if you are going to pick her head with questions, bring your own fork. LOL! Dr. Klein's Pre-Op, and Post-Op Instructions are all written down, and you will be well prepared on what to expect, and the morning of the procedure(s) and right before they happened, I was advised on what I might feel and what was to take place. Following the surgery (and you will be given a local and NOT a General Anesthesia, so you will be relaxed but NOT asleep.) I was sent home wearing a compression garment (think of a special-black leotard) and an elastic wrap garment over that for a specific time. Follow your Post-of instructions, and Dr. Klein, or/ and Robin will reach out to you to see how the healing is coming along. And any issues or questions, and the office will get back to you A.S.A.P. I was advised, that if I put back on the pounds, the weight will return, but not in the area that received the Tumescent Lipo, as the fat cells are permanently gone! And speaking of gone, so is that constant craving for sugar and chocolate. As I have no desire to put back on the pounds, and want to redo the liposuction! Besides, I like the way my younger skinner shape has returned to this older woman's body. LOL!! Now, let me give you three specific reasons I chose to go with Dr. Jeffrey Klein, versus another surgeon who performs regular Liposuction, or even one of the doctors he personally trained? 1. Dr. Klein invented Tumescent Lipo. 2. Tumescent Lipo is actually safer than regular Lipo, and the results are much better. 3. There - enough said! read more

I am extremely grateful for Kim for going out of her way for my family. She is compassionate, eager to help, and goes above and beyond. Dr Klien is blessed to have her on his team. If it wasn't for her, we would have had to go else where. Thank you Kim! read more

I went to HK Dermatology for lipo & various treatments for my face & neck.I will definitely go back! Dr. Norma is the best! she is a perfectionist in whatever she does.. that's who you want if you are a patient..am so impressed with all of the nurses like nurse Michelle. They are all very helpful, experienced, & knowledgeable. My husband who had 2 procedures done by Dr.Klein is very happy with his work. We wouldn't go anywhere read more

I have only seen Dr. Klein once before but the first impression I received of his office and from the staff was top notch. The office is clean and the entire staff really makes you feel welcome, comfortable and that you are their top priority. I have since moved away from CA but am able to visit often which allows me to continue to see Dr. Klein as my dermatologist. That is how wonderful Dr. Klein and his staff are. I have also been using the HK skin care line for a couple of years now and have loved the outcome. The foaming facial cleanser and pore minimizer are life changers. I highly recommend HK Dermatology for all of your dermatology or cosmetic needs! read more

Dr Klein and his staff have always been professional, on time and kind. I have had a good working relationship with everyone there. He pays special attention to detail and puts his patients that have skin cancer first. He is also very funny! Today it was my husbands turn to come in at 6:30 am and be put first to have Melinoma removed from his cheek. So grateful to Dr Klein, his staff and his Wife up in Newport Beach. read more

Lots of talk to buy a product sold in his office. It was a useless visit. Will not be going back again, read more

Don't expect to get treated with respect unless you're providing them with cosmetic procedures annuity. They will sit you in the office for hours. No respect for your time. My wife was a client for years, but when I - a male - had a more urgent medical issue, they had no interest in addressing it timely - for them, my sitting there waiting for an hour and a half was no problem! Go elsewhere for a true, non-discretionary medical issue. read more

I have been going to Dr. Klein, MD and his team for over 10 years. Recently, I went to him for a MOHS surgery to remove a cancerous spot on my face. It healed beautifully and you can't even tell. A few weeks later I got (what I thought) was an allergic reaction from a toxic plant that I came in contact with me in the yard. I first saw Dr. Norma Kassardjian, MD who I have also seen many times over the years (excellent MD.). She brought in Dr. Klein for a second opinion and they quickly came to the conclusion that it was Shingles! I was shocked because I am in my 50s and I thought I was too young to have it. But, I was wrong. Dr. Klein quickly educated me that if you have had the chickenpox, some people are susceptible to it later in life... Lucky me! After prescribing me an anabiotic he recommended a new Tumevir Injection Treatment that he has pioneered and developed that reduces the pain and virus break out immediately. Within 3-4 weeks it was almost gone! Most people can suffer from shingles for many months at a time. I highly recommend Dr. Klein for any dermatology issues whether it's shingles, pre-cancerous issues, allergies, etc. I can't think Dr. Klein and his team enough for getting me through this crisis!

I have been a long time patient. I went to them this time(my last time!) for skin rashes that were very troublesome. I met with a P.A. , not the doctor. I was prescribed prednisone and topical ointment and told to make a follow up visit. Thats where the trouble started. While trying to schedule a follow up over the phone, I spoke with a woman who asked what I wanted to come in for . Apparently my answer wasn't good enough for her . She wanted a better explanation, but since I'm not a medical person ,I struggled to describe it to her satisfaction.I tried to tell her it was a follow up appointment that I was instructed to make . Still not good enough.( I had her on speakerphone so my spouse overheard it all. She said that woman really gave you a hard time!) This went on , and I got frustrated and signed off. So, I found a different dermatologist and immediately noticed far better treatment ( they create an actual plan as opposed to spot treatment) and so far much better results. I met with a doctor instead of a PA. In fairness, I think Dr. Norma is excellent as was the PA I met with. Both seemed caring and deeply interested in my condition. Dr. Klein seemed apathetic and only superficially interested. Again in fairness, I emailed the office manager with an invitation to discuss this situation and after 4-5 days I have not received a call or email, so I posted this review. read more

I researched dermatologists and surgeons for 8 months, before deciding to see Dr Jeffrey Klein. Having been to his office before, this was just for my family's peace of mind. ( I had complete certainty that Dr Klein would be the perfect choice. ) My procedure was smooth, literally on a scale from 1-10, my personal level of discomfort was 1. The nurses Michelle & Kristie, also Robin & the nurse practitioner, Atousa were extremely kind, efficient & knowledgable. There was very good follow-through before and after my procedure, by Dawn. who was clear and very easy to work with. Dr Klein ...? Hmmm...He is extremely competent and beyond excellent! He has an amazing bedside manner, while still being the consummate professional. He cares about his patients and it is clearly visible in his kind demeanor. I was completely comfortable with my choice and would definitely recommend him in a heartbeat! read more
