So happy I brought my 3 year old daughter to see Dr. Grimes! Wonderful experience. My daughter has been suffering from a mouth rash for 6 weeks and her primary doctor had not been able to diagnose it or help much. I was recommended to Dr Grimes by another Doctor I work with, who said she was the best dermatologist. We were able to schedule an appointment very quickly, and we did not wait long to be seen. Dr. Grimes was so nice to my daughter and very thorough. Even though the rash is only on her face, Dr. Grimes had my daughter take off her shirt so she could check the overall condition of her skin. Something our primary never did. My daughter was prescribed some medications and we scheduled a follow up. I felt such relive knowing she was being treated by someone who is an expert in her field. Dr. Grimes was kind and patient and made my daughter feel comfortable and calm. I would definitely recommend Dr. Grimes to anyone. To the people complaining about her prices- I'm a single mom who works two jobs. Dr. Grimes was not in our network so I paid cash out of pocket. I didn't think it was expensive; what I thought was I am paying for the blood, sweat, and tears poured into the hours of dedication it must have tool for Dr. Grimes to be an expert in skin care and health. You get what you pay for and I want the best. Thank you Dr. Grimes! read more

Even thou she is just our dermatologist but she cares like a close family member. We love you Dr. Grimes.

Is this place ever open? I've called and called and tried sending emails. I've never gotten anyone to answer the phone. Ever. Ever. Ever. I've never gotten a response from the emails that I've sent. Is this place a scam? read more

While I would never recommend going to this office as a patient, I would think working there is awesome. Lunch is from 11:30-3:00, and then you can leave at 3:00 on Fridays. Good times! If, however, you are a patient and have a billing issue, forget about it. You will not get the assistance you need. read more

Very nice office and Dr. Grimes really tries to help her patients and give them different options available.

I went to this doctor highly recommend. She did help my friend clear up acne but I have a more serous condition of sorbic dermatitis. Nothing suggested or prescribed made a difference. In all fairness I only went once because the wait time was too much had to pay for parking and she criticized other things completely off topic that did not pertain to dermatology. read more

Absolutely the most wonderful doctor in Los Angeles! She is kind, takes her time and doesn't rush you in and out. Her staff is equally as kind and respectful. She is absolutely willing to answer all your questions. She doesn't make you feel she is on that regular 5-minute clock you get with most doctors. I have even recommended her to strangers. She is as kind as she is beautiful. Both my husband and I go to her and now I will be sending my daughter. read more

I am delighted with Dr. Pearl Grimes and her staff. I came to see her with my daughter for prevention and had her look at me as well. She found something on me that could have develop in a cancer and took care of it. I am so bless to know her. She and her staff are so professional, courteous, caring. If you are in need of an outstanding Dermathologist you should consider Dr. Pearl Grimes without any hesitation! read more

Yes she's popular... But if you make an appointment, be prepared to spend half of your day waiting for her to actually see you. And then when she does, it will be for a whopping 5 minutes. Her staff doesn't care a wit if you stay languishing in the waiting room, or if you get fed up and just leave. I've seen people do just that. Dr. Grimes is very charismatic and personable, once you actually see her. But again, her time with you is brief. I suppose when you are the most popular pigmentation specialist in town you don't have to give a thought to other people's time. Honestly though, it isn't as if she invented the specific chemicals that treat pigmentation issues. You can get them elsewhere and save yourself a lot of time and money. post script..... Since writing this review, I've met several other random people who have had bizarrely identical experiences to mine. I'm convinced that some of the positive reviews that are now here, were written by her staff. Some of the positive reviews here have only ever reviewed Dr. Grimes (I'm sure that will change after I post this). Seems fishy. read more

After watching the El Debarge segment I noticed Dr Grimes has a different approach to Celebrities. Mr De Barge offered an apology for being late and Dr Grimes stated no problem when in fact if you are 15 minutes late it is a big deal you even risk your appointment being cancelled. Dr Grimes staff makes no exception to circumstances unless you are a VIP client (WOW). I was not impressed with the overall service. Dr Grimes even had the nerve to have a donation of some charity mailed to my home a lot of nerves maybe if I was treated as a VIP I could help you with your big donation request. Get it together Dr Grimes remember you had to crawl before you could walk! read more

Dr. Grimes really helped me with my hyper pigmentation issue. The office environment and staff are very professional. Dr. Grimes is personable;yet, professional. I'm very pleased with the outcome thus far. I would highly recommend her. read more

I've been a Dr. Grimes patient on and off for years and here is why. When it comes to my skin, which is acne prone and affected by melasma (discoloration), she knows what she is doing. Under her care, my skin receives daily compliments. Dr. Grimes is expensive but she is a leading specialist in her field. She is also extremely busy, so if you are looking for a doctor to chat with about all of your fears and insecurities - she ain't it. However, if you meed someone knowledgable about skin care to get you looking your best - she's your gal. I do like that she does great work for area underprivileged children through her charity. Excellent doctor and excellent human being. read more

I am just furious! I heard great things about Dr. Grimes but her staff is absolutely mediocre. I called to make an appointment 1 month ago. The receptionist, all frazzled said "I am by myself, will call you back in 5 minutes". THREE days later, she called me back. Made an appointment for today 12/4 at 8:45 am so that I wouldn't be too late for work. I called yesterday to confirm. Got there on time, to find the door locked. At 9:05 the receptionist shows up with NO apologies. telling me the Dr. was not coming in until who knows when. She called the doctor from her office and came out to confirm the doctor wasn't coming in until the afternoon. Again, NO APOLOGIES! I understand unexpected traffic and emergencies. But the "bedside" manners of a doctor's office receptionist are the reflection of the doctor's practice. I give this one a 1 star because I feel generous today. Oh! and she wouldn't validate my parking ticket that cost me $5 for NOTHING! read more

I am not usually one to write any reviews however I feel especially upset at the treatment I received during my last visit. I have had 3 appointments with Dr. Grimes for my facial vitiligo in which I saw her for a total of 5 minutes during each session (always very rushed). During my second and last appointment I was uncomfortable and dissatisfied with the way in which she addressed my concerns. When I expressed I felt the vitiligo was getting visually worse she was very rude and quickly brushed off any concerns I had by saying I had a negative perspective. At my last visit she was an hour late and extremely insensitive to my concerns as a patient. I had work at 12 pm and could not carry out the rest of my appointment (apt time was 10:30 I was finally seen at 11:30) which clearly upset the Dr. as she slammed the door shut. Although she seems to be very knowledgeable and highly accomplished, her doctor-patient skills lack empathy. Her staff is excellent, however her approach to addressing patient concerns was extremely rough and insensitive. Will not be returning. read more

Dr. Grimes is an amazing Physician. She corrected years of acne scars and damage in as little as 4 visits. Yes she was a very busy doctor and yes sometimes I had to wait a little while but she was WELL worth the wait and she was totally attentive and addressed all my concerns. We talked about her charity the CARRY foundation & all the real work they do for children and disadvantaged youth. Overall a great person and even better dermatologist. The best I have ever been to. read more

Dr. Grimes is the best in the world at what she does. Just like any other business with high volume you have to put in effort to see her though. read more

I am so amazed with the results my wife received from her treatments with Dr Grimes. She was going to a dermatologist in Corona and her condition got worse within several months. She found out about Dr Grimes from the Internet and a article she had read in a magazine. My wife and I were very pleased with the results after 6 months. Her hair has grown back and is healthier than before. She travels from Corona to Los Angeles to see her and it's worth the 1-1:30 drive. The staff is excellent and she is in and out within 45 mins. If you're having a problem with hair loss, Dr Grimes is the doctor you need to see. read more

Do not use her! I went to see her many years ago with vitiligo. She will tell you anything to get your money. She CAN NOT MAKE VITILIGO GO AWAY. She is very deceptive and misleading. read more

Everything everyone here says is true. All of it, pros and cons. I go to her, however, because despite the inexcusably rude wait that often is required, the exorbitant costs (I spent over $400 last visit!!!!) and what else?: Oh yes, the measly five minutes I usually get of her time, my skin looks better than it ever, ever, ever has. Keep your eye on the prize: Great Skin. She knows what she's doing. I'm 48, have never had botox or injections etc., and still get carded. So I've taken off a star because I imagine there are other dermatologists out there who also know what they're doing and will spend, say, more than 5 minutes with you after making you wait a half hour over your appt. time. And really, I almost gave her only 3 stars., But here's the thing: if you can put up with the rudeness and you can afford it, your skin will look fabulous. Oh, someone mentioned her charity. If it's any consolation, I believe some of the money from your super expensive treatments go to a good cause. She treats children with terrible skin diseases and doesn't charge them anything. It's truly a service that changes lives. They blossom, come out of hiding, make friends, stop getting bullied etc... read more

Dr. Grimes is wonderful! I have been fortunate to have her as part of my health care for several years and she is the "real deal". Her vast knowledge and experience, along with her warm demeanor, have made my visits with her enjoyable and productive. It is obvious that she is committed to her patients and dedicated to her practice. I can strongly recommend her to anyone seeking care with dermatology concerns. Love Dr. Grimes!! read more

Dr Grimes is a superstar in dermatology. She not only is one of the most recognized leaders in her field, but more importantly to me is her charity work. She is directly involved with CARRY which helps at risk youths. She also donates time and expertise to young people with skin problems.... that otherwise treatment would be unavailable. She spends lots of her own time helping out the community, something many people are unaware of. read more

Dr Grimes is a super nice and incredibly brilliant physician. It's such an honor to be her patient. She is truly an amazing lady. I can't wait to get my results from my biopsy. I am in love with my doctor and I highly recommend her! read more

Assistant made rude and nasty comment to me while I was waiting to see the doctor. You get vm mail during the day when you call to make an appointment. Meh service overall. read more

Prior to seeing Dr. Grimes I read some poor reviews. Someone even went so far as to say that any positive reviews must be written by her staff. Let me begin by saying I am a patient, not staff. I travel 3.5 hrs each way to see her. The staff is truly wonderful as well as prompt, caring and accommodating even in an urgent last minute situation. Dr. Grimes was everything her past and present awards promised. A true professional, highly educated as well as compassionate and caring. I encourage you to visit her website as it can better explain her qualifications and many much deserved awards read more

Truly enjoyed the office visit. From Dr Grimes's PA who is fantastic, personable and professional. Dr Grimes is the epitome of professionalism, grace and knowledge. A pleasure to visit and I feel confident of good results. read more

I was a patient of Dr.Grimes 15 years ago. She made my skin beautiful and set me free after about 3 months of care. I started to see scarring and discoloration from aging skin last year so I went back to the expert that saved me before. I've only been using the products she recommended for a week and I already see considerable improvement. The office is beautiful, staff is professional and courteous. read more

Grimes is an attentive, knowledgeable, and determined doctor who is reversing the damage caused by other dermas, estheticians, and the sun and restoring my youthful skin. So grateful I stepped out on faith and didn't let the costs deter me. The blessing and satisfaction I've received has been so worth it, and I'm not even finished with treatments yet! read more

Dr. Grimes is a great and she knows her stuff. Great communication with patients needs. She is not I love going there because Dr. Grimes is a fashionista and is always "camera ready". She motivates me to get my skin on point. read more

When I lived in LA ,I met with, Dr. Grimes and her staff. Dr. Grimes was wonderful she address my skin issues with great care,and made me feel right at home. I was so nervous. I so glad I saw Dr. grimes prior her to my upcoming photo shoot. And after our visit I surely felt a lot more knowledgable and confident about the health of my skin after our visit. Dr. Grimes is truly the best! read more

I've been going to Dr. Grimes for 5 years now and can honestly say she is nothing short of a miracle worker. Before seeing her, I had been wrestling with vitiligo (and the social stigma that accompanies it) since I was 8 years old. Over the years, I've tried everything: placenta extract smuggled in from Cuba, tanning on a black sand beach (a folk remedy I had heard about) and depigmenting myself with hydroquinone, which I ordered from the internet without a prescription. The two year depigmenting process left my entire body white as a sheet of paper and very prone to sunburn -- not especially useful in Los Angeles. When I finally walked into Dr. Grimes office for the first time, she told me she could bring my color back (despite the effects the depigmenting process) and I'm not ashamed to say I nearly broke down into tears because of my long history with this illness. 5 years later and I'm proud to say I'm nearly back to my olive skinned, Italian self and have only a very few stubborn white patches left to go. The spots I do have are barely noticeable. It hasn't been an easy road, and lord knows it hasn't been cheap one, but Dr. Grimes has been true to her word every step of the way and she's a sweetheart to boot. Dr. Grimes has given me back more than just my color -- she's given back my ethnic identity and my confidence. I'm blessed to have found her. read more

Dr Grimes not only makes me look great but her caring manner and and great smile always make me feel great too! I look better after 6 months with Dr Grimes than after 6 years with other dermatologists... read more

Dr. Grimes is wonderful. I am in my early fifties and Dr. Grimes has my skin looking better than ever. She is thorough and knowledgable. I've visited other dermatologists in the past but have not been satisfied with the results. Her skin care products are the best, and suprisingly affordable. She is kind and compassionate and I feel like I'm visiting a friend when i come in for my appointments. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She's the best! read more

Simply the best experience I've had with a doctor of any stripe. She's cool, laid-back and (most importantly) knows her stuff. I'm surprised by the negative reviews on here, I had no problems with her or her staff. Maybe folks want to sit there all day and tell her their life story, but I'm a busy guy and was in and out very quickly and efficiently and with full confidence that I had gotten top-notch and expert help. Couldn't recommend her more highly! read more

I was beyond impressed with my experience at this doctor's office. My first contact was with Antonio and I was completely blown away by how helpful and kind he was and how fast he was at getting back to me with an appointment to see Dr. Grimes! A lot of doctors don't realize how important it is to have administration like Antonio. The first point of contact is crucial in any business. Now on to the appointment, my appointment ran on time, Dr Grimes was really knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment! I would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family. read more

Dr. Grimes and her staff are all I could have hoped for in a dermatologist. She has been my doctor for several years now and has always provided the absolute best care, and I believe, best advice and treatment during every visit and for every issue. If you are looking for a doctor whose knowledge is encyclopedic, treats the whole person and takes the time to be caring even while maintaing a very efficient office, then Dr. Grimes is someone you should consider visiting. read more

Dr. Grimes is the absolute best! Before coming to Dr. Grimes for severe & immediate treatment, I had spent over $1000 at two dermatologists in Beverly Hills. Given their office location and service costs, I expected to be diagnosed properly and treated. While under the care of two previous doctors, my condition worsened. Finally, I was referred to Dr. Grimes. She predicted a diagnosis, but conducted a biopsy before starting treatment. Since day 1, my condition progressively diminished and cleared without any backpedaling! I have since referred my mother and a friend to her; and they have both been equally pleased. The pain and suffering I had before visiting Dr. Grimes was awful! I emphatically recommend Dr. Grimes to anyone in search of efficient / top-notch treatment! Her awards are a plus, but her sincerity & precision were greatly appreciated. read more

I have struggled with acne for ruffly 10 years and have been to 3 different dermatoligists within those 10 years. Dr Grimes is by far the best and I have been very happy with the time she has given me. We have tried many things and she listens. Finally on the road to kicking acnes butt! Also wanted to mention the office staff is always pleasent when I go in for visits and that is a great feeling. Thanks Selene and Dr Grimes! read more

My first appointment with Dr. Grimes was yesterday and already I've recommended her to three friends. I moved to Los Angeles three weeks ago and suddenly came down with an issue with my skin. I was distraught. I don't know many people in the city to ask for doctor recommendations so I "Googled" dermatology practices in the city. Immediately I phoned Dr. Grimes' office and spoke with Katrina. She was kind, considerate and automatically made me feel better. I came in and was treated as if I'd been a patient of Dr. Grimes' for years. Dr. Grimes was amazing. I had a full exam, blood drawn for lab work and Dr. Grimes explained every thought she had concerning my issue. I will absolutely go back to her practice. My entire experience from my first phone call to the moment I walked out the door was beyond positive. read more

I don't see where the good reviews are coming from this lady is horrible and unprofessional very rude and seems like she just wants your money she does not care anything about her patients PLEASE do not go here I'm glad my insurance paid for this visit and I didn't have to shell out any money read more

Had heard very good things about this office and the doctor but was disappointed when they did not follow up after calling them five times. The doctor also sold me a face wash and promised if I didn't like it she will refund me the purchase amount. The cleanser was on sale but they charged me the full price. I called to get a refund they said they will check with the doctor and call me back NO ONE EVER CALLS BACK. I was going to go for follow up again called 5 times and each time they blame someone in the office that she didn't follow up and is no longer here. No one takes responsibility or cares to call back. read more
