I've been seeing Jackie for about a year. Before that I dealt with mild, persistent acne and…read moreallergic reactions. I've tried other dermatologists and I just never had much luck. I decided to try again and saw Jackie. The difference in a couple months was really great! She listened to my concerns about harsh treatments and how I didn't have luck with tretinoin in the past. She noticed that I had multiple issues that needed to be resolved so she put me on a treatment plan. As I progressed I was able to phase out prescriptions once they were solved. My skin concerns of course were not solved overnight but I was happy to have someone who was able to guide me every step of the way. She listened to all my concerns and is an absolute pleasure to see. I've only seen Jackie so I can't speak for the other doctors. All the nurses I've dealt with have been helpful and professional. I will say I've never had the issues others have had in their reviews. Front desk is like any other medical front desk. Kind of cold but they get my appointments scheduled and send documents quickly. The wait times can be long so I like scheduling end of day. Parking is also not easy during the day but clears up later. Overall I highly recommend Jackie but give yourself time for parking/ wait times.

Run, don't walk to see Ali Mochizuki! Manhattan Beach is so lucky to have her. She's truly one of…read morethe best aestheticians I've ever been to. I've had multiple microneedling sessions with her and my skin has never looked better. She's incredibly knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely cares about her clients. She always sends me home with thoughtful extras to support healing and never fails to check in after appointments, which makes such a difference. On top of that, Ali gives an incredible facial and dermaplane. It was easily one of the most relaxing facials I've ever had and you bet I booked another one with her immediately. She's extremely thorough and precise in her work. You can feel how much pride she takes in what she does. You'll be in great hands with her, I promise. And if you're considering injectables, I highly recommend booking with Montana. She's fantastic and really listens to what you want. As a commercial actor, I need to maintain natural movement in my forehead and she's the first who has truly been able to achieve that for me. It's such a relief and I'm so happy I found her. Needless to say, Skin Spirit Manhattan Beach is an absolute gem made even better by the incredible team behind it.

I cannot begin to describe the joy and relief I feel after working with Christina Wagner. For most…read moreof my life, I struggled with deep insecurities regarding intimacy and my body due to the scarring and active abscesses caused by HS. What has been a constant burden since I was 18 was virtually resolved in a matter of weeks. It is truly unbelievable. I was initially terrified of laser hair removal for two reasons: shame and cost. I was embarrassed by the scars from years of abscess ruptures and feared being judged. I also worried if a "cosmetic procedure" was the right investment. My dermatologist gave me a choice: laser hair removal or a lifetime of daily medication. I chose to take a leap of faith with Christina, and it was the best decision I could have made. From our first meeting, I knew I could trust her. Christina answered all my questions about pain, timelines, and long-term expectations with gentle understanding. I never felt like she was pressuring me into purchasing as many sessions as possible. Just whatever I needed for my goals. During the procedure, she is incredibly professional--always checking in on my pain levels and describing exactly what she is doing, especially in more intimate areas. She creates a space where it is perfectly okay to voice anxiety or take a break. We talk throughout the sessions, and the time flies by so fast it feels like I've only just walked in before I'm finished. Because of Christina, I am reclaiming my life. She clearly loves her job and is dedicated to helping patients live without the limits of stigmatized body hair. Christina, you've opened doors for me that I never thought I would walk through, and I am eternally appreciative. The front desk staff at SkinSpirit is wonderful--always attentive and ready with a glass of water. While the immediate parking lot is small, I've never had an issue finding a spot. If it's ever full, there is a shopping center across the street that makes it very easy. I've already recommended SkinSpirit to several friends. We all just want the freedom to live without judgment, and Christina is helping me get there. Thank you so much, Christina!

We both ended up getting Botox together and the whole experience was super smooth and professional. I'm about three days post-treatment and my results already look amazing.

I had a terrible experience with Dr Laser. From the beginning, the staff (Chelsey) pressured me…read moreinto paying a large amount of money upfront before any services were even performed. The entire consultation felt more like a sales pitch than actual customer care. They push packages on you, pressure you to commit immediately, and make you feel rushed into paying before you've even had time to think things through. Once I decided I wanted to cancel after a few hours of thought, everything changed. Suddenly nobody would return my calls, and getting a response became almost impossible.l (including Kacie the supervisor at Santa Monica Site). I was ignored for over a week and only received a delayed email response instead of an actual phone call. Extremely unprofessional customer service. Be very careful before paying anything upfront here. They seem much more focused on locking people into expensive payments than providing good service or respecting their customers.

An excellent experience! OSVI should be the standard that other medical offices aspire to!…read more I had a painful, egg sized sebaceous cyst on my back that I needed to have removed. I called OSVI in the morning at 9:00am and had an appointment to see Dr. Nicole Salame at 10:45am the same day! Upon arrival, the front office staff was very welcoming and as a first time patient I was handed an easy to use tablet instead of a clipboard and papers to fill out. I was offered a choice of refreshment while I waited to see the doctor which, was maybe 20 minutes from my arrival. Dr. Salame examined me and reviewed the ultrasound that I had brought. She offered to treat the cyst the same day!! I was provided with an estimate for the service (OSVI was not covered by my insurance) that I found very reasonable. She performed the surgery in office and her skill and care was just wonderful. She has excellent bedside manner and communicated openly before, during and after the procedure. I really appreciate that she always responded to my questions with empathy and professionalism. I never felt rushed! Something that is very rare with doctors these days. By 12:30 I was checking out of the office with my painful cyst gone!! I was given clear instructions on how to care for the wound and some sample ointment that was thoughtfully put in a little bag. Yes, even as a guy, little details like this matter because it shows that the staff are thinking about their patient's well being and not just performing a perfunctory job. I can't emphasize enough how everyone was so pleasant and how I felt like a valued patient. I returned in 2 weeks for a follow-up to remove the stiches and was informed that I was healing well. Today the surgical wound has almost disappeared with little to no scar and absolutely no complications. Overall, I am THRILLED with the results! I highly recommend OSVI for any of your dermatological needs! It was so refreshing to be treated like a valued patient with empathy and professionalism by the entire staff. Of course, I will return should I need any future dermatological care! I big thank you to Dr. Nicole Salame and your entire staff!!
