I am getting a revision of a botched lip filler that I got elsewhere and Dr.Dawood is just the best !!! He is a perfectionist and goes above and beyond to make sure you get the desired results!!! I am also getting tattoo laser removal in his office and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. You get a friendly greeting everytime you walk in the door from Dustin, he is just the sweetest and caring person along with all the staff there. I highly recommend this office to anyone I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Dr. Dawood had an "off" day and now my skin is paying for it. Don't think I'll go there again.

I have been coming to Sublime Medical Group now for six years. Dr. Dawood is an amazing Dermatologist and the staff is very friendly. I love Lorinda who is the nurse and does laser hair removal as well. They have always been so helpful and knowledgeable about everything! I will keep coming here and also refer my friends as well. read more

Best of the best! DR Dawood is the best! He's brilliant, he cares, he pays attention to every detail and the staff is super nice! I drive from San Diego county because I couldn't find anyone like him. Highly recommend!! I don't know he could ever get a bad review, he is just too much of a perfectionist but I guess you can't make everyone happy and nobody is absolutely perfect. read more

I also bought a groupon for laser hair removal. This place is extremely clean. The staff are friendly and professional. The procedure only takes a few minutes. If it's your first time getting a laser treatment, they have a 15 minute consultation before your treatment to discuss the procedure or any questions you might have. I definitely recommend this place. My only complaint is the wait can be long sometimes even with an appointment. read more

Clean, friendly, easy and surprisingly not as painful as I had anticipated. When you buy a Groupon, you can't be shocked if it takes a little time to get in and a wait is expected with the increased business companies are experiencing. I have been to Sublime three times and my wait has not exceeded 15 minutes so no complaints here. read more

Excellent overall experience. I found this business on Yelp, and it exceeded my expectations. Yesterday, I had my first procedure for tattoo removal. The doctor was very thorough as he explained the procedure. He and his assistant were very cordial and professional. It always feesl great to give someone you feel has good business practices more business. You will not be disappointed once you step in the door. Very clean offices and very nice people. read more

Do not go this place. You will waste of your time. I waited for about about an hour, but they did nothing :) All people working there are super busy. I wonder if I can get good treatment? I have visited many offices in this area, but it is the worst place that I have ever visited! read more

Dr. Ronnie Dawood. I have been a patient of Dr. Dawood for the past 4 years. He is the best dermatologist in the whole inland empire. Dr. Dawood goes above and beyond to explain the process of any procedure. Dr. Dawood is very kind and patient, he has a heart of gold. Amazing office staff as well. -L Barakat read more

I used to visit Dr. Dawood in his Riverside location when I was going to school out there. He is the best tattoo removal doctor you could ask for. The staff is extremely friendly and skilled. I must've been there 13 times? They know what they're doing and they genuinely care about their patients' well-being. I wouldn't trust anyone else with a laser to my skin. read more

I love this place! The office is clean and very well kept. The staff and the nurses are very friendly and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this office to my friends and family. The services that they provide are top notch and performed professionally. read more

I also bought the groupon for laser hair removal last spring. It's been just a couple weeks since my 3rd treatment now, and the results are AMAZING. I bought 6 treatments, and with the results after just 3, I'm confident that this groupon was WELL worth the great deal, and would have been worth it at full price! Aside from great results, the woman I see each visit is so friendly, and the reception staff has always been great as well. If they're backed up, they'll call you ahead of time and rearrange things a bit to minimize your wait. I wish my regular doctor would do that! Considering the groupon madness and the quantity they sold, I think they've done a great job managing it. I schedule my appointments during my lunch break and it works out perfectly. I HIGHLY recommend this place, even without a groupon! At least you know you will get the results you came in for! read more

Doctor Dawood is absolutely amazing . He is so knowledgeable, I am a nurse so I can tell right away if I trust a doctor, and I could tell right away how good he was. The office staff and the physicians assistant are awsome too. I would highly recommend them to all of my friends and family. read more

I am a nurse in Newport Beach and I was looking for a Dr who could remove some tattoos I had on my wrist and forearm. I made an appointment and the reception staff were so kind and so friendly. I met the doctors MA and his nurse and both were very thorough and explained everything to me and answered all questions. The Dr came in and explained the procedure and was very educated and very nice!! He did the treatment in less than 5 minutes and I can honestly say I felt no pain!!! He definitely earned my love and my trust. I will continue treatments with him and his staff until the tattoos are gone. Amazing group of people and I am going to recommend all people to his practice!!! Beyond 5 stars!! I give this practice 100 star rating!!!!! read more

Dr. Dawood at Sublime Medical Laser Dermatology is simply amazing! I honestly have never been to a dermatologists office where the doctor spends adequate time with you. Usually, at other offices I feel rushed in and rushed out. Honestly, I will never go to another dermatologist again because he is so good and his staff makes you feel like a million bucks! The office is gorgeous, staff is one of a kind and Dr. Dawood is one in a million! If you are looking for a dermatologist, he is the guy to see! read more

Truth be told, this review is for the personality and likability of Dr. Dawood, as I can't attest to the quality of his work. I didn't have any "real" work done. I just had a couple moles removed. As a whole, my experience was great. The office is very nice and clean. The staff was all very polite and friendly. Dr. Dawood was easy to talk to and seemed like a very down to earth kind of guy. I would absolutely use him again. read more

Thanks for the great service Sublime! Coleen at the front desk has been super nice and helpful with booking my appointments. I've already had 2 laser hair removal treatments at Sublime and I am very happy with the results. I still need a few more treatments but I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. This spa is top notch, clean, has a great ambiance and very nice employees that will keep me coming back. The gal who did my laser treatment was also very sweet although I can't remember her name (cute brunette). Just a few more treatments and I'll be hairless forever! YAY! read more

I love Dr. Dawood! He is extremely kind. His office is nearly 2 hours away from where I live, but I still try my best to make an appointment whenever I possibly can. Highly recommended, hands down the best doctor I have ever been to. read more

Extremely nice staff that was very accommodating! Doctor was knowledgeable and friendly. I was in for laser hair removal which was over quickly with very minimal discomfort. The only complaint is the wait time but I guess they are popular ;). The lady that works for the dentist office (I think) isn't so friendly but the other two front office staff are awesome! read more

I call Dr. Dawood, the Michael Angelo of the laser! A true artisan and one that will NOT settle for less than a 100%! My friends, office associates and family come up and ask if they can touch my skin. So many compliments that I have lost track. My intension was to improve my skin and over all appearance, but an added bonus was shaving off approximately 10 years. On rating Sublime, I gave Dr. Dawood and his staff a 5 star rating, and if there were 6 stars, I would have gladly checked 6. I never felt rushed and all my questions were answered in depth. Whether you go to the Riverside office or the Mission Viejo office you won't be disappointed. I've been to both. Would I refer Sublime? I have already sent my daughter, her boy friend and my sister are just a few. One last thing...my treatment was painless from beginning to end and I healed amazingly fast. I had a level 4 laser treatment... John Baynock read more

Got them off Groupon I needed to get full body laser hair removal worst experience ever. Honestly think the lady in the front is a racist. I can't even explain the situations I have been in here. People who sat next to me while waiting told me how they've had a really bad experience as well. Definitely losing costumers!! read more

I highly recommend Sublime MD. Just had a basic mole removal but no one really likes going to the doctor's office. Dr. Dawood is very friendly and informative. He came across as very authentic.. His PA and staff were all very nice (and pretty). read more

I really like Dr. Dawood. I'm having a tattoo removed and had 6 laser treatments in another office with very little results and I was starting to think I never should have started removing it in the first place. I have only recieved one treatment from Dr. Darwood and I had the best results........woo whoo.....finally!!!! I go back on the 10th of December I will keep u updated read more

Aside from the state-of-the-art technology and top of the line equipment, this place has a really wonderful staff. They are very flexible with my chaotic schedule and always get me in to see Dr. Dawood. I have had three laser tattoo removal treatments (with the Pico laser) and after my second treatment two of my tattoos were nearly gone. read more

I have waited 2 years to write this review. I have scars on my face from the CO2 laser where Dr. Dawood went too deep and overlapped the laser causing a loss of pigmentation on my skin. The scars are in a 4" inch area above my lips and a 4" area on my chin area. I was terrified when I saw my skin sliding off my cheek hours after the procedure and couldn't reach the doctor for 17 hours because they didn't turn on their answering machine when they left for the day. Don't let anyone tell you this is a simple procedure and you can go back to work in a few days. It is a very serious procedure! I was shaking for 13 days from the anxiety of the procedure and healing process. Recently, I asked if he might be able to blend the discoloration someway, so it wouldn't be so noticeable. He wanted to charge me. I was stunned!! Disgusted! I only asked because 2 other doctors told me the loss of pigmentation and scars would be permanent. Think again before going to this doctor. read more

Third time trying to write a review, we'll see if it works... I had deep wrinkles on my cheeks and around my mouth, and had a Groupon for fractional laser resurfacing. My wrinkles seemed severe to me, and the loss of facial fat over the years just intensified my tired, wrinkled face. Having done the non-aggressive treatments at other clinics several times (which did nothing for my wrinkles), I decided to upgrade to an aggressive "one-time-session" -- something I hoped would do the trick, though I admit, I kinda doubted it. My wrinkles are completely GONE, with just one aggressive treatment, and so are the age spots, pores, and red-spots. (FYI: I have a medium range skin-tone, and all of this matters in the equation and outcome, including how far they can push their settings while keeping patient safety first). I just can't say enough about Dr. Daewood and his staff. I work in a clinic similar to Sublime, so my statements are as authentic as they come. Because of my awesome results, I have actually referred him from our practice for this procedure (we don't have a fractional CO2 laser at our clinic). He knows exactly what he's doing and his medical grade lasers are top-notch in the industry. He is so caring and I think this may be why they can run a little behind schedule sometimes, but I see that as a good thing, knowing whoever is in there with him while I'm in the waiting room is getting the quality-time and care they deserve. As far as I can tell, Dr. Daewood isn't into selling people on a "series" of little sessions that do nothing for the kind of wrinkles I had. He just tells you what's going to work for your issue and goes through his own before & after's with you on a big screen. He worked with my budget, he's kind, caring, with not a shred of arrogance as some doctors go, and he and his staff rate 5 stars all the way around. I look 15-20 years younger, never expected these results, and my gross wrinkles are totally gone. Plus, the fat in my face is slowly returning from all that collagen doing it's thing like it's supposed to. I couldn't be happier with my results :) Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Daewood! read more

Great groupon for eyelid surgery! Found cell phone four months later! Kris

I bought a group on for sublime and they advertised on their site they had appointments mon-sat. After my second appointment I was told now that they only offer appointments on wednesdays and thursdays, which is far too limiting, and I feel cheated by the groupon that i bought since I can't go back in now until august. read more

I bought a Groupon for the laser hair treatment. Every time I came for my appointment I had to wait 40-50 min. I don't think it is acceptable specially when an actual treatment last no more than 5 minutes. If you have a full time job this is a big inconvenience (they don 't take appointments on the weekends). I wasn't impressed with the treatment ether; for brazilian bikini treatment they don't even try to get all of the area done. Also, you should keep in mind that they will never call you to remind you of an upcoming appointment. The parking is a hassle as well. I would not recommend this place to a friend and I will never go there again. read more

I have been going to Dr. Dawood for at least 4 years now and would never consider going to anyone else. I simply cant say enough wonderful things about his expertise and compassion. He is a skilled master at making you look beautiful and within your budget. I typically go for Botox and filler -- and am always on a tight budget. His prices EASILY beat out all competition. Unlike other dermatologists who simply throw out a figure of what it will cost you, (take it or leave it attitude), Dr. Dawood will work within your budget and make you thrilled with the results. I am 58 and, honestly, with the treatments he suggests for me, within my budget, I have been told I look 15 years younger. And it's all because of Dr. Dawood. I've been, in the past, before i discovered Dr. Dawood, to many other dermatologists and it seemed like they kept raising their prices, (that I could no longer afford) PLUS, I was never satisfied with the results! Trust me, Dr. Dawood will consistently give you the most for your money. He is also the sweetest, kindest, empathetic doctor you will ever experience. It is because of this that he might be running late on appointments occasionally, but trust me it is well worth.it as he takes as much time as necessary so you are not rushed as a patient and get his utmost attention. I have to also compliment the entire staff -- Ted is awesome, so friendly and thorough, as are Colleen, Lorinda, Erica and Kayla. He has a winning staff and formula and I will be a patient forever.

Favorite medical office! Dr.Dawood is THE BEST! His staff is very knowledgeable and thorough yet always have me in/out according the my schedule! I highly recommend him !! read more

Dr. Dahwood is a miracle worker!!! I usually don't tend to write positive reviews on places unless they deserve it but I just had a Co2 laser done about 5 days ago and the results are better then i could ever imagine! Ive tried everything to help get rid of my acne scars, from tca peels, fraxel laser etc. and 35% of Co2 laser diminished my scars in 5 short days! Dr. Dahwood is an amazing doctor with an even better staff his assistant Ted is an amazing guy who even called to check up on me on a Saturday afternoon! Being a Marine money is tight and Dr. Dahwood knew this so he helped me out with a reasonable price "wroth every penny!!" my skin is almost flawless now i might have to go back and get a follow up Co2 laser done in 4-6 months but it will be worth it! THANK YOU so much Dr. Dahwood and Ted, everyone that complains about the wait in is ridiculous; everything worth while is worth waiting for! read more

Sublime's entire staff was one of the absolute worst customer service experiences that I have ever encountered. I had taken an hour lunch to come to my prescheduled appointment and I had arrived early as well in order to convenience them.After 1 hour and 15 min of waiting they took me to the room that the doctor couldn't see me because he has consultations to get to even though I had an appointment scheduled. The front staff also kept talking about the customers personal lives and information as well and laughing and making fun of them. This entire time no one came to check in with me to keep me updated, I had to go up to them and ask after 1 hour what was going on before they even took me into a room. The elder front desk receptionist is so arrogant and doesn't seem to even care about any of the patients. I highly recommend to not go here if you value your time and want to be cared about as a patient. read more

THEY R THE BEST... I drive from San Diego to see them because I have never seen better results and will continue doing so =)) Dr. Dawood is extremely talented and knows what he's talking about. He always takes the time to listen and asks a lot of questions unlike other cosmetic Dr.'s who just try to push you to get different things done. He has even talked me out of doing a couple of things that I did't need which rarely happens these days! I got a full body package from them for laser hair removal about a year ago and my results are much better than I expected... ( also being told that by other friends who have done laser at other places) Lorinda does my laser and she is very thorough and fast and chatting with her just makes time goes by even faster! They give me a numbing cream that is seriously magical so I don't really feel anything and Im super sensitive to pain! Colleen is usually at the front desk and coordinates the appointments and is always super accommodating. I have also done a mild chemical peel (which was heavenly with amazing results), Botox, Vitamin B shot, etc...and I have never been happier with my results. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to get advise from a trustworthy Doc and get AMAZING results =) They also try to work with you on pricing which is BIG plus although I would still go to them even if they didn't ;) read more

Best botox treatment ever!!! I have recently moved up to LA and I'm sure there are good/great med spa's up here, but I will be traveling back down to Mission Viejo for my next botox read more

OBSESSED! I never do reviews but this is a exception. This was my second time getting LSR by Doctor Ronnie. Him and his staff are unbelievable. So polite, always checking in on you, just an overall comfortable and professional experience. My favorite place to go and will be returning. read more

Mine was not a typical reason to visit a doctor for laser resurfacing. I am 54 years old, and have suffered with excessive "tearing" for over 4 years. Because the eyelid was too heavy, the mechanics of moving tears around the eyeball had failed, and I found myself with tears streaming down my face all day long. I went to several eye specialists, had countless procedures (multiple tear duct plugs, cauterization of the tear ducts, etc.) and nothing worked. The last resort, I was told by my eye doctor, was to have a large section of the eyelid removed surgically at a cost of over $3000. While they assured me the procedure would help with the excessive tearing, they would not tell me how the procedure would look from a cosmetic perspective. Again, this was not my primary motivation, but I didn't want the procedure to make my eyes look "altered" or somehow less attractive just because it was needed to repair a mechanical malfunction. Enter Sublime Medical! I came across info regarding their laser resurfacing process and decided to find out if it would address my problem. Dr. Dawood and his staff were extremely helpful, straightforward and honest. They offered no promises, but based on all consideration factors, I decided that I felt most comfortable proceeding with their laser resurfacing procedure. The day following the procedure, I woke up and have not had a single bit of tearing since! To most, this would seem like an insignificant issue and in the scheme of most medical challenges, I wholeheartedly agree. However, I will tell you that this constant annoyance is now a thing of the past for me, and I am beyond grateful to Dr. Dawood and his fabulous staff for the profound impact this procedure has had on my everyday life. Oh yeah - and in case you were wondering... my family members and friends tell me that I look 10 years younger! What a blessing to have resolved a chronic medical issue AND have such a wonderful side benefit as well! Dr. Dawood and his staff are exceptional, in every way. I have never written a "review" in my life, but am very pleased to share my thoughts and recommendations regarding this extraordinary group of medical professionals. read more

I did co2 fraction laser last month, still no see result but my eyes still swollen and red..will update if my eyes ever get back to normal

Dr Ronnie Dawood.. He is the most professional, trustful, talented and lovely surgeon in the field , he got the latest products, treatments and laser machines .. I was born with a problem in my lower lip " dark blue spot " and I have been trying to remove it for the last 7 years,, I went to the best doctors in jordan and Israel and tried so many treatments without any result but disappointment and loosing money without any result,.. Till i come to Cali and went with my sister to his clinic sublime and meet the miracle DR Ronnie , from the first look within one minute he recognize my problem ! I thought there is no hope for my case but with him everything is possible , he is very nice and onset and he knows what he's doing very well . read more

Dr. Dawood is great! He has a very straightforward demeanor and excellent bedside manner, speaking clearly and honestly in everything he tells you. He doesn't promise miracles, but he delivers excellent results! I had my first treatment (Juvederm) for some very deep "marionette lines" around my mouth and it was almost painless and the early results look great! I will have a laser resurfacing in a couple of months, and I'm looking forward to seeing the results. The Riverside office is gorgeous, easy to find and very clean. The staff are very friendly. I've seen several reviews here that complained about the wait times. If my first visit is any indication, Dr. Dawood is definitely worth the wait! read more
