    yours truly waiting for his appointment lol
    Ben B.

    I never ever ever fight write reviews cuz i'm not about that life but...... I felt compelled to right one about Metropolis dermatology. I've been coming to this location and the one in Brentwood for a year or two now and this is one of the best businesses I've gone to in socal in any category of business. all the staff are super friendly down and down to earth beautiful people. P.A. Wu is an absolute goddess!! she is so sweet and knowledgeable and friendly. i literally feel like family here. Two thumbs up and a big smile when coming here!

    I don't know what to say - it almost feels wrong leaving a 3 star review for a business that's flooded with 5 stars straight across the board, but unfortunately, I feel like I need to share my experience. Booking the appointment was easy and simple. I love the convenience of not having to get on the phone with anyone, and just booking directly on their website. Walking in, the facility is clean and absolutely beautiful - you want to be there. I'm a cash paying client coming for a medical visit - I was told the consultation fee is $170 when on their website they've listed $105 for medical and $170 for cosmetic. After bringing it up to her attention, the front desk agent apologized and said she didn't know what I was talking about, proceeded to ask me if I still wanted to go through with the appointment. I agreed to move forward. After showing them their own website page, they spoke to management and honored the $105 fee. Which was appreciated, but still seemed a little questionable considering how their website advertises one thing but they charge something else upon check in. Trying not to let this deter me, I waited patiently for my appointment which was supposed to be at 4:10. I got called in at 4:22 and didn't actually get seen by the PA-C til 4:45 (and they close at 5) JinLi was professional, knowledgable, and really easy to speak to. She listened to my concerns and offered a variety of treatments options. The appointment did seem a little rushed though - I don't know if it was because they were closing or I was asking too many questions, but something felt off. JinLi and her attendant told me my prescriptions would be sent to the pharmacy, the lab order would also be sent in, packed me a bag of samples and sent me on my way. The next day (today), I'm trying to contact them because no lab order or prescriptions were sent in, and getting in touch with them has been just repeated automated messages of "we'll get back to you" JinLi is the reason this place even gets 3 stars from me and the reason I would consider returning.

    **Extremely Disappointed - Poor Results and Customer Service**…read more After my second session, I was advised to switch to a different location with a supposedly more powerful machine. I followed through and completed three more sessions at the new location, but saw absolutely no improvement. Frustrated, I decided to try another company -- and after just one session with them, my tattoo is already about 50% lighter. I reached out to LaserAway about the lack of results and was only offered store credit for the four sessions, which is unacceptable. Getting a callback has been a constant struggle, and the customer service has been among the worst I've experienced. Do yourself a favor: save your time, money, and energy. I would not recommend LaserAway to anyone based on my experience.

    I've had a Belle Vie membership for over a year, and my main reason for keeping it was Jasmine…read more I've been coming to Belle Vie for the past 3 years and always had great experiences with her. Unfortunately, after Jasmine left Belle Vie, I decided to give NP Jessica a try since I still had my membership. After my experience today, I can confidently say I will not be going back. I got AquaGold microneedling done today and felt very undermined and blindsided. I arrived at 3:05 for optional numbing before my 3:30 appointment, but when I asked about numbing I was told they don't numb for this procedure because 1) it doesn't hurt and 2) it's much quicker than normal microneedling. Both of those statements turned out to be false. I was seen at 3:15 and finished my session around 3:40. At first the pain was bearable, but as the procedure continued it became increasingly painful. After I repeatedly told NP Jessica how much it hurt, she asked if it was my first time microneedling--even though I had already told her it was my first time when she walked into the room and that I was excited to try something new. Her response of "ohhhh I'm so sorry" made it feel like what I had shared beforehand wasn't really taken into account. For context, I have a very high pain tolerance. I've done multiple sessions of PRF EZGel under my eyes with NP Jasmine (formerly at Belle Vie and now at Intemporel Clinic). I've even been told I'm an easy patient to work on because I really do not complain. After the appointment, I called immediately while sitting in my car to be reminded of the post-care instructions because I was honestly so discombobulated from the experience that I couldn't recall them. I also got a second opinion from another NP based in Newport, who told me they absolutely could have numbed me rather than telling me the procedure wouldn't hurt and was quicker. I called back again and ended up getting connected to the receptionist at the Cerritos location, which was bizzare because 22 minute prior the Newport receptionist picked up. She was very apologetic and helped answer all of my questions. I mentioned that for future reference, I believe NP Jessica could be more mindful and transparent about the pain level and the fact that everyone's tolerance varies. I even said I would have gladly paid extra for numbing if that was the issue. She informed me that numbing is actually complimentary and that if I arrived early and asked about it, they could have simply asked if that was something I wanted rather than dismissing it. I will say that Z is the absolute best, and every facial I've gotten from her has been so good!! Although I won't be returning to Belle Vie after 3 years of coming here, I do wish them the best!!

For my first session, she educated me on how laser hair removal works & discussed post treatment care. During the active lasering time, she consistently checked in with my on my pain tolerance. We found that I could tolerate it much better if she went faster & continuous rather than pausing between each "zap". A little over 2 weeks after, I messaged New Look since it looked like a line on each lower leg was missed. Since the hair remained there, un-zapped looking and continuing to grow after 3 weeks, I came in for a super speedy missed section session. I appreciate that they offer missed session sections at no charge. There's plenty of parking at their MacArthur location. There's a large Tesla charging station right outside in case you drive a Tesla and need to charge! I'm eager to see the results when my many laser sessions are done. So far, a great first laser experience!

    I've been a client here for several years and have been so happy with my laser hair treatments…read more it's been two years and I just came in for a 15 min touch up. I saw beforehand that they raised the price for this to $100. Thats okay if a bit expensive for 15 min. But apparently their policies have changed and during my $100 15 min treatment they would only laser individual hairs they can see. instead of just lasering my areas until the 15 min were up. They zapped me about 20 times total and that was it. Extremely not worth it. Then at checkout they explained that now you can only tip in cash. I never have cash and have always venmo'd. So I couldn't tip my nurse and can't imagine in future going to atm for cash to tip? There are also signs up explaining their fees for using credit cards. All and all, lots of policy changes without benefit of any sort to their clients. I've really loved coming here, but that was my last treatment here.

From my very first complimentary consultation, Clara made me feel completely comfortable. She's friendly, easy to talk to, and has such a warm personality. From the moment I met her, it honestly felt like I'd known her for years. She created such a judgment-free environment that I never felt self-conscious or embarrassed during any of my treatments, which made the entire experience so much easier. I also recently treated myself to a Signature Facial with Jessica, and she is an absolute angel. She is so kind, welcoming, and genuinely cares about making sure you have a relaxing experience. Everyone at the front desk is always so welcoming and friendly, and every visit has been a great experience from start to finish. Parking is also super easy, and the spa is conveniently located right next to Chase Cleaners, making it really easy to find. They frequently run promotions on their website and Instagram, which is a great way to save on treatments. They also have a referral program where BOTH you and a friend receive $100 off a service. Just be sure to use it within the promotional timeframe (I believe it's about 3 months, but I'd recommend confirming with the spa). Overall, Dream Med Spa has such a warm, inviting atmosphere, and every member of the team has been wonderful. I always look forward to every appointment and can't wait to try more of the services they offer. If you're looking for a med spa where you'll feel welcomed, comfortable, and truly cared for, this is the place!
