    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.

    DO NOT TRUST ROXBURY INSTITUTE! I believe Jamie especially has repeatedly shown BAD-FAITH,…read moreUNETHICAL, DECEPTIVE, MANIPULATIVE, MISLEADING and COERCIVE conduct and tactics that are primarily focused on keeping your money and not refunding you for what I consider a botched cosmetic result - instead of focusing on transparency as well as patient's health and well-being. They also violate boundaries. Dr. Ahdout gave me her word that Jamie would not contact me further. Yet, Jamie contacted me despite my numerous written and verbal requests to cease contact. I believe I may be able to file a police report for harassment. I believe Jamie even went as far as providing DECEPTIVE MISINFORMATION about matters that can affect health in further attempts to not refund me. I believe this is highly unethical and concerning conduct especially for a dermatologist office. I am posting this review after multiple attempts to resolve this matter. I left a message and sent emails the first time and I did not receive a call from Dr. Ahdout. The same thing happened a second time. I posted a review the first time and Jamie called right away so I removed it. When I went in to show Dr. Ahdout the result of her work - at first I felt completely gaslit because she was questioning me as to why she would do a job like this. I was surprised. She again asked this on the phone yesterday as why this happened - a question she herself should answer. She then said there are no before and after photos. I reminded her AGAIN that I have before photos on my phone that her own assistant took. Dr. Ahdout then asked if I would agree to a credit. I declined. Dr. Ahdout then said that The Roxbury Institute has a "policy" that once a patient asks for a refund they can't return to the office. I informed her that I would not want to work with a business that has punitive policies. I believe both her conduct and Jamie's conduct revolved mainly around keeping my money. When I first brought up the refund, Jamie immediately became aggressive on the phone and used what felt like patronizing repetition. She kept repeating my name aggressively 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 even went as far suggesting to me that the tightness was "normal". She even pointed to her face claiming that she felt the same. I knew the tightness was not normal. When I asked Dr. Ahdout, she also confirmed that it was not normal. 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 that can have great liability. Jamie also asked if I would want to do a correction. I declined. I noted in my review and also in an email I forwarded to Dr. Ahdout's new email address as well as during her call yesterday that I do not want to interact with Jamie at all. Dr. Ahdout GAVE ME HER WORD that she will call me back herself. Dr. Ahdout did NOT keep her word. Instead Jamie called and went back and forth attempting to claim 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. Besides Dr. Ahdout's own confirmations - the invoice is more than clear. I explained, again, that Dr. Ahdout confirmed with me TWICE, once in person and again on the phone yesterday, that it was 2 items. Jamie went back and forth for at least 10 minutes arguing. I kept asking her to ask Dr. Ahdout. She refused 3 times and continued to argue. I kept mentioning what I paid for. She finally checked my invoice although she had ALREADY SEEN my invoice as she is the one who charged me AND even emailed it to me. She FINALLY agreed it was 2 items. I believe these practices are EXTREMELY CHEAP and DECEPTIVE. Then Jamie said their "corporate" is going to send me an email to sign "a form". I told her I'm not signing a release form as I need to see another doctor. Patients should not be forced to sign a release form to receive a refund. Jamie said their corporate "requires" this and that they will contact me. AGAIN, she displayed a pattern of violating clear boundaries and as soon as I would say their corporate did not have my consent to contact me - she would BLATANTLY REPEAT they will contact me. I informed her 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 and dispute the chargeback - I will immediately involve my counsel without further notice and use ALL legal remedies to not only obtain my money in full, but to also hold them fully liable for all damages including corrections needed and the emotional distress caused related to this matter and their conduct. I will also expand my online review to Google and other platforms as I see fit.

    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
