I've been a patient at NCD for over 15 years, initially seeing Dr. Liu for eczema and…read moreultra-sensitive skin issues. She is absolutely amazing, and I've referred my boss, coworkers, and friends to her office over the years. Now that I'm entering my 40s, I decided to address some problem areas, like my sagging jowls and heaviness under my chin. Nurse Kelly recommended a combination treatment of Potenza and Ultherapy, and it was such a fun experience! I was nervous at first, but Nurse Kelly and the entire staff made me feel completely at ease. She pampered me throughout the process, explained everything in detail, and kept me comfortable. My skin was glowing even after one session of Potenza, and I can't wait to see the full results after completing all three sessions! Ultherapy stimulates collagen production, so you need to be patient to see the full results. Around the 2-3 month mark, my jawline started to look tighter and more lifted, and it kept improving over time. By 6-7 months, the results were significant and so worth the wait! Here is my before and after picture below. Goodbye gobble chin and jowls! I can't recommend NCD enough! Dr. Liu, Nurse Kelly, and the whole team are incredible!

I also didn't feel rushed the way. I have whenever I go to a medspa or a place where the PA is doing the injections. She takes a lot of detailed photos and is great at following up to make sure everything came out well. Her office is lovely, would highly recommend.

Summary: I should've done more research. Don't go here…read more Location: Located in a rundown office complex from the 1960s. There's plenty of parking but when you arrive you largely don't know where to go and when you arrive at the office itself you doubt you're at the right spot until you go inside. Once inside the office is overcrowded not that pretty. I doubted my decision and almost left at this point. I wish I had. Staff: A mixture of tired to lukewarm. They are clearly overworked in this chaotic environment of an office. friendly, they are not. Doctor: I met with Dr. Soung. I thought I did my research but apparently I didn't do it well. Her assistant was very friendly but the doctor herself seemed overworked and in a rush. She barely spent five minutes with me before running off to her next visit and barely even gave me a head nod as she ran out of the room. Overall: This felt like the fast food equivalent of a doctor visit. Too many people in line, too much stress, no one seemed to really care. It ended up feeling very unsatisfactory and a pointless waste of time. I would recommend only coming here if you have no other choice. Without exaggeration one of the worst doctor visits of my life.

He has provided support, care and is a big part of my medical support team. He treats his staff well which is a big indicator of who someone is with their patients. Hard to see the trolls here as I know everyone has their own perspective but he has an incredible manner and would help you in whatever way that he can. He gave me excellent counsel about my upcoming knee procedure and I made changes to my plan that made me feel more comfortable moving forward. I also have gained self confidence since recieving my skincare and the insecurities that used to trouble me are no longer with me. I feel good about the way I look and who I am. He is very skilled about blending improved health with a positive outlook. These days where there are so many options for medical care it's important to find a doctor who takes the time to get to know you. He is the kindest doctor that I have know and I will be a lifetime patient. Thank you Dr. Z,

Dr. Zahedi texted me to say that:…read more 1) His office received a medical records request from my disability case manager. 2) That he won't be providing my case manager with my medical records unless I remove my Yelp-review. 3) He proceeds to fabricate a lie that I called one of his staff autistic, which is nonsense; The only rebuke I've mentioned about him and his staff are in my Yelp-review. [Frankly, his frail ego can't handle the fact that someone gave him a 1-star review, and now he's become unhinged; Updating, editing, and reposting lies about me several times a day. This type of behavior seems indicative of narcissistic personality disorder.] This is not only grossly unethical, but it's, also, illegal. As a result, I submitted a formal complaint to the Medical Board of California.

I was traveling to CA and had a severe skin reaction. I called several dermatologist trying to find…read moresomeone who would see me. I called the OC Skin institute at first they said they were booked for weeks but after I explained the situation to the receptionist she put me on hold and said she would speak to the doctor. A few minutes later she got back on the phone and said the doctor could see me that day. The facilities were clean and comfortable. They didn't make me wait long in the waiting room despite my last minute appointment. When I saw the doctor he was polite, efficient, and had me out of the office after treating me in no time with all my questions answered. Vacation saved thanks to the OC Skin Institute.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with OC Skin Institute…read more I made my appointment three weeks in advance because I specifically wanted to see a doctor regarding my melasma. Before scheduling, I explained my condition to the receptionist and asked whether the practice treated melasma. I was told, "Yes, we treat melasma. Our owner treated his wife." When I arrived, I was surprised to learn there was no doctor available to see patients. I asked where the doctor was and was told that the doctor does not treat patients and that I would only be seen by a registered nurse. If I had been told this when I made the appointment, I would have chosen a different practice. The registered nurse immediately told me that I did not have melasma and that they were only sun spots. This was contrary to diagnoses I had already received from dermatologists in both South Korea and Russia, who independently confirmed that I have melasma. Despite this, she recommended cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen. After the treatment, my skin developed severe blisters and painful open wounds. Instead of improving my condition, the treatment left me burned and bleeding. I called the office on Friday, explained what had happened, and even sent photos of my injuries. The nurse never called me back or spoke with me directly. On Monday, I called again because the wounds were still bleeding and burning. I was simply told by the receptionist that it was "normal." I was also told they had emailed aftercare instructions on Friday, but I never received any email. When they sent it again, it was clearly a brand-new email, not a resend of a previous message. I am deeply concerned about the lack of follow-up, compassion, and medical responsibility shown after a procedure that caused significant skin damage. Patients deserve proper communication and appropriate medical care, especially when complications occur. One more thing prospective patients should know: although you may be charged as if you are visiting a doctor's office, you may not actually be treated by a physician. That is something patients deserve to know before making an appointment. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this practice. The lack of transparency, poor communication, and inadequate follow-up after an adverse outcome were extremely disappointing.
