I have been a patient here for over a year. I am so impressed by the entire staff . The office is run so efficiently and the atmosphere is so engaging and positive. Most of all, Dr Gabriel is incredibly experienced with dermatology, especially in knowing a remedy to make your skin look beautiful. She is conservative and teaches you step by step of the ultimate goals. . She documents everything and is highly organized and ethical. Laura also conducts the laser treatments, which I received and is also a class act. Loved the results. Last but not least, my son had an issue which other professionals could not figure out. Dr Gabriel, diagnosed the problem immediately and took care of it right there and then. What an amazing Doctor and practice. read more

Great care. Friendly atmosphere and no waiting. I always get a complete explanation of what is being done and why.

Where do I even begin? Niina at Zenas office is absolutely amazing! I've seen her for Botox, an Ultra treatment, and most recently XERF, and every experience has been exceptional. She always takes the time to explain everything and makes me feel completely at ease. I'm so happy with how my skin looks after XERF and can already see such a difference in my jawline! I'm SO excited for my next treatment! If you're considering seeing Niina, do it--you'll be in the best hands. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Have recently switched to Dr Gabriel for my bi yearly skin checks. She is amazing and so personable. After years of asking for freezing for various Ak's , she just decided to freeze so many on my back that had bothered me for years!! I just returned from doing a lazer for rosacea and she saw me in the hallway, asked how I was , hesitantly I showed her a spot that concerned me and ushered me into a room and took care of it. In the middle of all her appointments!!! She is the best with the freeze gun. Heals beautifully with her touch. It's a great practice that I willingly drive from San Diego ! read more

My husband and I have had a long VALUED relationship with Zena Medical, the loving care from Zena and her team exceeds all expectations! Excellent services, and of course our annual overall body check is meticulously done! Thank you! read more

Best beauty & medical care visit ever! Dr Zena is brilliant and knows how to do everything to keep it natural! Love the staff too!!

Zena and her team are the absolute best! She has been such a pleasure and professional to work with. I honestly can't recommend enough!

The office itself is very unprofessional--although everyone was friendly over the phone, I got misinformation from 4 different individuals who I spoke to about scheduling and a deposit. I was left waiting on a zoom call for half an hour and then told an intake zoom wasn't possible for the procedure I wanted. When I asked to look at my schedule and get back to them when I could come in person, the office manager said they needed my paperwork and a deposit to schedule the appointment that I had been told was already scheduled. I said I would do the intake paperwork if they have a Docusign or another link to do it since I'm out of town and they said it was not possible. I said I'd call back after looking at my schedule and goodbye and the office manager hung up on me. I've dealt with multiple Newport Beach offices and none as unprofessional as this. I hope they're able to figure out the miscommunications internally! read more

A Lifesaving Experience with Dr. Zena and Her Team at ZENA Medical, Newport Beach Some days start with panic. Ours began with a terrifying allergic reaction: swelling, discomfort, and a deep sense of urgency. It was one of those situations where every minute counts and hope feels just out of reach. We called ZENA Medical, praying for help. They answered with kindness. To our astonishment, they offered a same day emergency appointment. From the moment we spoke to their staff, there was calmness and warmth. We were not just another case on the schedule. We were met with compassion. When we arrived at their Newport Beach office, we stepped into something extraordinary. Located in the heart of Fashion Island, one of Southern California's most iconic coastal destinations, ZENA Medical is unlike any medical office we have ever seen. It felt more like a boutique retreat than a clinic. Plush couches, chandeliers, hardwood floors, and fireplaces surrounded us. The space was filled with natural light and elegant design touches that created a clean, airy, and relaxing environment. It was calming, beautiful, and completely disarming in the best way. The hospitality extended far beyond aesthetics. We were welcomed into a private lounge, offered aromatherapy and luxurious blankets, and even treated to a warm lavender neck pillow during treatment. Soft mood lighting and private entertainment options made the experience feel less like a medical necessity and more like restorative care. And yes, there were even chocolates waiting for us when it was all over. Within minutes, we were in the hands of experts. Dr. Zena herself, supported by a truly remarkable team, moved quickly but gently. They listened. They explained. They acted with precision and care. There is an unmistakable confidence in how this team operates, shaped by experience, passion, and deep integrity. They have created a place where expert care and heartfelt compassion are the norm, not the exception. The treatment began, and the results were incredible. The swelling reduced. The pain subsided. And with it, our fear melted away. ZENA Medical is not just a clinic. It is one of Southern California's premier destinations for dermatology and aesthetic medicine. They combine advanced medical knowledge with cutting-edge technology, delivered in a personalized, boutique setting where kindness and professionalism go hand in hand. It is a place where science meets soul. One of the most striking things is how consistently excellent they are. Visit after visit, patients are treated not just skillfully, but thoughtfully. There is a level of trust here that cannot be overstated. You do not just get care. You are cared for. In a time when healthcare can feel rushed and impersonal, ZENA Medical reminded us what true care looks like. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and present. There was no sales pitch, no waiting around, and no confusion. Only focused attention and sincere human concern. We walked in overwhelmed. We walked out healed. This experience will stay with us. Not just because they solved a painful medical issue, but because of how they did it. Their work was filled with grace, empathy, and excellence. It was more than medicine. It was healing. That kind of experience etches itself into your heart forever. Thank You! read more

Dr. Gabriel and her staff were all so nice and helpful. She took time to really consult with me and analyze my skin. Typically I have dermatologist push a lot of different procedures on me and take 5 minutes really talking and explaining things. Dr. G really took her time and listened to my concerns. She's told me things that no other doctor had time to tell me. This was my visit and although she didn't mention any facials at this point, well, I am an OC girl and want to get some done anyway. For preventative reasons! ;-) I think you will be very happy with going to Zena Medical! read more

I cannot recommend this business enough. I was seeking some sort of skin boosting service, and I met with Laura. I was interested in lasers or energy devices, or both. I am in my late 20s and just want to improve my overall skin tone and start to bank collagen. Laura actually talked me out of a couple of services that would have been more expensive and intense, and recommended the Lutronic ultra laser with a vbeam spot treatment for my skin and goals. The fact that she recommended a service that is actually less expensive than the ones I was interested in initially speaks to her high level of integrity and commitment to customer satisfaction. I am coming from Los Angeles, and she even recommended an appointment time that would help me beat the traffic before and after. On top of that, all of the other staff I interacted with were extremely professional, and I even got a follow up call to check in on me in the day after my treatment. My treatment gave me great results. I will be coming back. I highly recommend this business, and Laura especially, for cosmetic skincare treatments. read more

Laura RN is an amazing nurse. She is clearly an expert with the laser. She is able to deceiver which laser is best for your exact needs- as well as adjust the treatment to give you the results you are looking for! Laura far exceeded my expectations!! Thank you Laura! ~ Stephanie read more

Doctor Christina Ring and staff was thorough, friendly and professional. Very knowledgeable and great customer service experience.

I had an amazing experience at Zena Medical. Four days before my wedding, I could feel a huge cystic nodule forming on my chin! When they come, they get red and huge and take weeks to fully heal. I called up Zena Medical and after hearing my story, I was given an appointment immediately. I was seen by Dr. Ring, who is beautiful both inside and out, and she gave me a cortisone shot in the nodule. It was an easy and great experience and everyone I encountered was wonderful and professional. The pimple was gone the next day and I felt great at my wedding. Thank you all so much! read more

I had sculptra done. The first session was amazing and I was very happy with the results. At the appointment for the second session, I told the doctor I did not think I needed sculptra any longer because I did not want anymore volume in my lower face at all. I thought I would need a different type of treatment for my under eye area. The doctor had me sit in a chair facing a mirror and show her the exact area I was talking about. She was also looking into the mirror with me and confirming she understood and agreed with what I was saying. She said she could still take care of my concerns with sculptra and she would leave my lower face alone. She ended up injecting everything in my lower face and doing nothing for the area I wanted. I feel the doctor did not listen or pay attention to the words I was saying and then proceeded on autopilot to do the standard she probably does for everyone. My cheek hollows are over filled and my smile is forever altered to a negative outcome. I went in to speak to her recently because I'm upset every day I catch a glimpse of my reflection. I feel she was minimizing the issue with me. She tried to say it's been a year so I would age anyways. It's only been 6 months and my face would not drop to this extent within that time frame with typical aging. She was comparing photos and not taking into consideration all of the volume that sits/moves different on my face now as I laugh, smile, and speak. Photos do not always show the nuances of 3d items, like a face. My smile is no longer beautiful as it once was and all she was concerned about was that I look fuller. I do not care to look fuller if it takes away from my attractiveness. I now look about 5 years older and 8 pounds heavier when I smile. I'm giving 2 stars for the first session that looked amazing, and the fact that I should have forcefully stopped her after her first injection during the second session because it was obviously not where I wanted it. I admit I was intimidated and felt insecure to say anything at the time so I own some responsibility. read more

Zina is an amazing Dr . She is so sweet and professional. She helped me clearing up my melasma .

I've been a patient of Dr. Zena Gabriel for over 20 years. She is kind, smart, on top of her game, has a steady hand and will not give you what you do not need. Dermatology is not just a medical science but also a cosmetic art. She has removed benign moles, treated me for acne, sun damage, and is helping me age as gracefully as possible with help of Botox and fillers. I've tried lasers and been pleased. She will explain to you what she thinks needs done and you are always free to decide. I also visit this office for laser hair removal. I am always treated with kindness and respect when checking in and out. Her skincare line has been used by my sensitive skin for years and it's now available on Sephora! If she could be my general practitioner I wouldn't have another Doctor! read more

Can we just say Dr. Karen Leong is a rockstar MD changing lives one boob at a time we are so happy to meet her and learn of her fundraiser for breast cancer patients and so much more we were referred by OC Fashion Week and we couldn't be happier! read more

Walk in and you instantly feel glamorous! The waiting area is beautiful and looks like a spa. I'd recommend coming here in the morning and try to get one of the first morning appointments. By about 10 AM, the waiting area was full. The examination rooms are very clean and neatly organized. The staff is professional. The service here is top notch. I'd definitely say that ZENA Medical is a prime example of you get what you pay for. Most every service here is more expensive compared to any other dermatology/aesthetic office I've ever been to, but the quality and service is amazing! This will definitely be my go to place for services and beauty enhancements! read more

See all

I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review - but here we go! I started seeing Barret because I wanted to try Botox, fillers, maybe laser skin treatments... I reached the age where it was time to take my skin seriously. When I arrived to the office I was greeted by their welcoming front desk staff. Samira is such a sweetheart and made me feel comfortable before going to the exam room. Now onto the treatments. OH MY GOSH Barret is so knowledgeable. I had her give me a skin evaluation and talked about my skin needs and worries. She was so receptive and I felt like she really listened to me. I trusted her right away and she was so warm, walked me through everything and answered all of my annoying questions. She has a background in surgical and cosmetic dermatology and I could tell in the thoroughness of her answers. The best part is that her bedside manner is matched by her skill with the needle!! My Botox looked natural and gave me a little bit of lift, and it was almost painless. She also gave me some natural looking lip filler. It was just enough to look full, but not duck lips. Perfection!! If you want to see a doctor that does really natural looking Botox and filler Barret is the best!! read more

If you haven't heard about Rachel and the magic she does with Accufit, then trust me when I say that she is incredible!!! I purchased a package for my abs about 6 months after having my third child and I could hardly believe the results. The Accufit tightened/flattened my abdominals/obliques and helped me lose a couple inches in those areas as well. After the 4th session, I was able to fit until all my jeans from pre-pregnancy. I also noticed a decrease in my lower back pain as a result of the increased strength in my core. Rachel was so encouraging throughout the process and made sure I got the results I was looking for. I still come in regularly for maintenance sessions. I don't have enough words to express my gratitude for Rachel's help in helping me get my core strength back! read more

I've seen the same doc for botox for 15 years. Since he hasn't reopened his practice yet and I needed some botox, I asked around to my gorgeous friends and one of them recommended Dr. Gabriel. I was able to secure an appointment with ease. The office was super clean and they are adhering to the strictest safety protocols for covid. Dr. Gabriel was very communicative. She told me what her recommendations would be for me but then said that we should stick to what/where I have been getting botox and "get to know each other" before venturing into other places on my face. I appreciated that. My botox looked great after it kicked in about seven days later. I will be back to see her again when it's time. read more

I love ZENA! Rachel is incredible--the body contour master, she not only provides the best results but she is incredibly knowledgeable and tons of fun. I can't believe the results Rachel has gotten for me, I'm only halfway through my acufit and vellashape and already see insane results all due to Rachel's technique. She truly cares about her patients and the outcomes over anything. Thank you Zena and Rachel! read more

I'd like to take the time to thank Zena Medical for the help. Dr. Zena corrected my lip injections and it was amazing to say the least. I've been doing my lips now since 2013 and I can honestly tell you that normally it hurts more than you could imagine. My eyes will tear up immensely during the process. Dr. Zena did some type of technique which was fantastic because I felt no pain and I had no numbing cream applied. Her bedside manner was so comforting and kind. I will definitely be coming back for future services. If you're looking for somebody to help you look younger and feel healthier Dr. Zena is the person to see. :0) read more

Love love love dr Gabriel and her team. I have used them for many different treatments and the results are always exceptional. And you MUST try accusing fit with Rachel. She is amazing and the results incredible. If you have wanted to tone that stubborn spot she works magic. Plus her energy is contagious and she gets results! read more

Rachel is fabulous. She did my accufit and it is amazing. She care about her clients and is always there for us. Need results come see Rachel. read more

I've been getting facials since my teens and have never had one by someone as fabulous as Carlyn. My aging skin still gets breakouts and usually after a facial, it gets a little worse before it gets better. Carlyn's facials have never broken me out, in fact if I go into it with some marks; I come out of it with zero. Not sure how she does it, but it's kinda like magic. She definitely gives the best best Hydra-Facial in town and is also the best at razoring every nook n cranny. Totally worth the price. read more

Five star treatment as usual. Today I went to see Nurse practitioner Jennifer for filler and OMG she is a genius. I am extremely picky and she exceeded my expectations. Primarily on my lips. I'm never going to anyone else. LOVE LOVE LOVE u Jenn. Thank u so much !! I'm so happy :) also big hug and thank u to Berlin for her amazing kindness and comfort. You guys are Amazing :) read more

$185 for a LaseMD CONSULTATION! I don't know any med spa/dermatology office that charges that much for a consultation. Was looking forward to coming here after my G-ma had said how amazing the staff and services were. However after talking with the receptionist that told me it was $185 for a consultation and said the esthetician would follow up with me and let me know if I could maybe apply this to the service (but never received a call), I'll be going to one of the many other dermatologist offices (Dr. Ambe, Total Dermatology, Helton Skin and Laser etc.) that don't charge an outrageous consultation fee. Big price to pay because now the thousands of dollars that I would have spent here will be going to these other offices. read more

I am so happy with my experience at ZENA medical from the staff to the providers everyone is so nice and welcoming. I see the nurse practitioner Barret and she does my Botox, fillers, and laser treatments and has recommend great products for my daily skin routine and my back acne (everything that I can buy in the office.) I have also gotten a hydra-facial with Carlyn the esthetician at the office and it was not only relaxing but so moisturizing and beneficial for my skin, I saw results immediately. I can't wait to go back for another!! I definitely will continue my treatment at ZENA and have referred friends and family to the practice :) read more

Love coming here! Rachel is so great with the accufit - my abs look awesome! Totally recommend her and this machine.
