    Dr. B is literally the best Derm in LA. I haven't been able to see him during the past few years…read morebecause of Covid, I lost my PPO insurance-- which is not his fault, obviously. He is the friendliest and most adorable man and a complete skin genius and wizard! Even though he does a lot of cosmetic high end dermatology and his office looks like a million bucks, he's one of the rare LA premium dermatologists that also does medical dermatology which is what I saw him for. Acne and Eczema. The latter of which can be hard to treat. I also messed myself up with a stupid at home micro-needle and he fixed me right up and didn't make me feel like a jerk! But what I am most thankful for is his care for my husband (at the time) who is very fair and works outside quite a bit. He caught three!! melanomas before they became serious. Two of which were on the face. We were worried that his face would have scars but you can't tell anything ever happened. That's how talented he is!! Before Dr B, my husband had a melanoma on his back and the dermatologist we had at the time dug it out like he was scooping freezing ice cream! There was a huge scar and indentation. So it matters a lot how skilled your Derm is at both the medical aspects and the cosmetic ones. To quote him, "I've never lost a patient to skin cancer!" Thank the heavens!! It was a relief that all we had to do was make sure my hub went every six months for his skin check with Dr B to remain melanoma free. Peace of mind, priceless! I also had a painful skin problem that was chronic and in a sensitive area that's the domain of the lady doctor. My GYN tried everything and he's also a fabulous doctor. But I was in so much pain and so frustrated because we couldn't figure out what it was and I just couldn't live with no diagnosis. Even though this area isn't the area of the dermatologist to take care of, I told Dr B about it and how desperate I was. He said if I was comfortable, he would look at it (along with a female nurse present) and I said please do. Well, he solved it! It was it eczema- the worst! And he solved it. Cured! I had been dealing with that for at least two years and finally he resolved it. No more pain, no more frustration! Not many doctors would be willing to do that, but he did, because he's a badass and a wonderful person! As soon as I get a PPO, I'm running back to him! I believe his office has some parking in the back too. There's a CVS down just down the road and lots of cafes walking distance just up the block if you need a good cup of coffee. Just be careful parallel parking around there because you don't want to dent a G Wagon or a Bentley lol. Hey, maybe you drive one! Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

    I'm Norwood 6-7 and had 5,337 grafts over two days (4,896 scalp, 441 beard) with Dr. Sean Behnam…read more A year before surgery, he was very direct that my donor area was too weak and that I wouldn't get a good result. Honestly, that's why I trusted him. I spent that year on topical finasteride and minoxidil, and dermastamping multiple times a week, slowly improving donor quality until he felt I could proceed--with realistic expectations. The procedure itself was incredibly smooth. Zero pain with conscious sedation, and he personally performed all extractions and site creation, which I think really matters. This isn't about achieving perfect density. It's about using limited grafts thoughtfully to create a natural frame for the face. From where I started, this result is beyond anything I expected, and we're already planning a second session to build density. Biggest takeaways: candidacy matters, expectations matter even more, and finding an honest surgeon who thinks like an artist is everything.

In my opinion, Jamie uses highly manipulative, coercive and controlling tactics to silence you about aging for a refund. She even sent as far as providing misinformation about matters that can affect health. This is highly concerting conduct especially for a dermatologist office. I am posting this review after multiple attempts to resolve this directly and professionally. I left messages the first time and I never revived a call from Dr. Ahdout. I posted a review and Jamie called right away. When I went in to show Dr. Ahdout the result of her work - at first I felt completely gaslighted because she was questioning me about why she would do a job like this. I was extremely surprised because I had known her from years ago and trusted her. She again asked this on the phone yesterday. She also said there are no before and after photos. I reminded her that I have before photos on my phone that her own assistant took. Dr. Ahdout also asked if I would agree to a credit. I declined. Dr. Ahdout then said that The Roxbury Institute had a "policy" that once a patient asks for a refund they can't return to the office. I informed her that if a business has a policy like that I most definitely would not want to work with them. Both her conduct and Jamie's conduct were revolved around keeping your money that they owe you once way or another. In my view, the aforementioned ate not policies and practices of a professional, caring and trustworthy business especially in the medical field. When I first brought up the refund issue, Jamie immediately became aggressive in the phone and used what felt like patronizing repetition. She kept repeating my name as soon as I mentioned a refund, which felt like an attempt to cut me off and stop me from saying what I needed to say. Jamie suggested to me that the tightness I was feeling in my face was "normal". She even pointer to her own face claiming that she felt right in that area as well. I knew that was not normal, because it made no sense at all. When I asked Dr. Ahdout directly, she also confirmed that was not the case and it should not feel tight and that it was not normal as Jamie said it was. I do not appreciate being gaslighted or having my concerns normalized as though this is something I should simply tolerate. This involves health and providing misinformation to patients can have great liability. Jamie also asked if I would want to do a correction. I declined. These various tactics mentioned that I believe were repeatedly used to keep my money and not refund me do not work for me. I am entitled to a straightforward refund process without having to chase after a refund that belongs to me. I noted in my review and also an email I forwarded to Dr. Ahdout's new email address as well as during her call yesterday that I only want to interact with her. Dr. Ahdout gave me her word yesterday that she will call me back herself. She did not. Instead Jamie called and went back and forth trying to say that it wasn't 2 items I purchased and it was 1.5. She said Dr. Ahdout said there was a confusion and it was 1.5 items. I informed her that's false. Again, I explained to her Dr. Ahdout confirmed with me both in person during the last appointment and also yesterday that it was 2 items. Jamie went back and forth for at least 10 minutes on this alone just arguing. I kept asking her to ask Dr. Ahdout. She refused. She inappropriately kept arguing instead. I asked her at least 3 times to talk to Dr. Ahdout. She wouldn't. She finally checked my invoice. I explained yet again and finally she agreed it was 2 items. Then she said their "corporate" is going to send me an email to sign "a form". I told her I'm guessing it is a release form. I refused. I clearly stated that I do not know what has been done and I need to see another doctor. I will not sign anything and patients should not before to sign a release form just to receive theyr refund. Jamie said she understood, but their corporate requires this before they refund and that they will contact me. I let her know I will not sign a release form and for them to not send me the release form, I also let her know that at this point I have to do a full chargeback on the 2 items. I contacted my bank and did a full chargeback on the agreed upon amount. If they create ANY extra emotional distress for me, more than they have already have, and dispute the amount - I will immediately involve my counsel without further notice and use all legal remedies to not only obtain my money in full, but also hold them fully liable for all damages including corrections needed as well as the emotional distress caused related to this matter. I will also expand my online review to Google and other platforms as needed.

    I had almost completed two packages of the LipLase treatment with Monica Masterson, NP when during…read moremy last session, she unexpectedly turned to me and said: "So my understanding is that even though you have smaller lips, you still don't want something more intensive like filler?" I was in shock. My full, ample, voluptuous lips are one of those features I always treasured and cherished receiving admiration for. I was so surprised to hear someone could actually find them to be small, my mind did briefly go to "OMG, DO I need filler?" and I started asking her all about filler. Of course, then I remembered they're a business and that's exactly what they wanted--or else they would NEVER make a comment that's so far from the gorgeous reality that is me. She then made it worse by talking about how she doesn't care about money and never pushes fillers on people--which of course made me wonder, is she saying it because it's *true* then?? After several therapy sessions, I am happy to say I am back to the level of confidence I had before this comment was made--so now that I'm stronger, I'm speaking up for myself. It was so startling and frightening to go in for what I thought would be a normal, caring, professional treatment and instead receive criticism of my body, completely out of the blue, not asked for, and non-consensual. It felt like a real violation of patient boundaries. I was here to receive a service, not an evaluation of my looks. This is a recent photo of me, BTW--taken months before I received their services at all. I am absolutely gorgeous just the way I am. As I am a model and adult star, I sometimes undergo non-invasive treatments to look even better, but that does not entitle anyone to invade my personal space and make unwanted comments about my body. If *I* somehow have "smaller lips," how many women have any hope of having normal lips?!? Businesses like this need to understand that, yes, in a way, they are profiting off people's insecurities--but if they *encourage* those very insecurities, it will backfire and they will lose business. People come here to gain confidence, not lose it. And customers, please know: No matter how much self-hatred businesses try to instill in you, love is so much greater than hate and as long as you have self-love, that will prevail. You can always choose self-love. They can never really hurt you.

    was highly recommended to Dr. Ava Shamban by Dr. John Joseph one of my best doctors who recently…read moreretired. Dr. Joseph was an amazing doctor and researcher for decades with vast knowledge and expertise including being amazing with things like Sculptra and all the injectable rejuvenation products, Obviously Dr. Ava must be great if he recommended her however my experience in trying to see Dr. Shamban was a huge disappointment. The receptionist informed me that Dr. Ava charges a $500 consultation fee before she will even see you.This I believe is the height of arrogance and believing your own press. After years of having been a patient of some of the best in the business, this was the first time I ever heard of this kind of outrageous fee not to mention when I asked about pricing Dr. Shamban for is way above fair pricing coming in at $1550 for one vial of Sculptra. Ok people will say if you are going to the best then of course you are going to pay a premium however many people who are doing well in CA, Los Angeles ,and want to go to good Doctors are not millionaires with vast sums of disposable income, so premium is on thing , making your practice only for 1 percenters is another. I recommend Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald in Larchmont Village , she has a much bigger reputation throughout the industry as one of the best and she still hasn't decided that she is soooo great that she will gouge you for $500 to feed her ego and her bank account. That said I was really looking forward to going to Dr. Shamban because I live on the westside and getting over to Larchmont isn't always convenient, however after the first bad impression from Dr. Ava Shamban's office the extra drive will be well worth it
