Dermatology Associates of Southern California

If I could give zero stars I would. Dr Yashar and his staff are very unprofessional. I saw him for 1 minute and he left the room, which by the way has a curtain instead of a door and everything being said in and out on the «room» can be heard. His staff were cursing on the other side of the curtain. I was given forms to sign and when it said doctors signature an assistant tried to sign it. This is a joke of an office. He needs to upgrade his conditions!

I had my radiesse filler done by Dr Yashar twice and had no problem, he was very courteous and he listens to what his clients wants to be done. He explains the procedure and what is really good for the client. However he still follows whatever his clients wants after a few suggestions. He gave me good discount on my 2^nd visit and hoping to see him again this week before i travel outside the country. Gave him 5 star because he listens to what his clients wants.

I was referred to Dr Yashar by a friend of mine. I made an appointment to have a mole looked at and also had skin tags removed. I was immediately greeted. The waiting was comfortable and had refreshments. It was easy to make an appointment and I didn’t wait long when I arrived. The staff were warm and friendly. I am so glad I now have a good dermatologist I can see when needed if any further issues arise.

I was referred to Dr. Yashar by my best friend. I was in town visiting and she encouraged me to get a mole looked at. I am so thankful that I did as he found an additional mole that may be precancerous. I will definitely be back to his office and will have these moles monitored for any changes. I would highly recommend Dr. Yashar.

I was referred to Dr. Yashar by a co-​worker that knew I was looking for a good Dermatologist. I had a keloid on my belly button due to an old piercing. He was able to remove. He informed me it may come back but it’s been 7 months now and no sign of return.

When I first started seeing Dr Yashar for help, I felt like a leper having 5 to 12 warts on each finger along with many on the palms of my hands. I was embarrassed by them and would hide my hands so others wouldn’t see them. Some were large clusters up to ½″ in diameter and many of them deeply embedded due to their age (10 years+). I tried other dermatologists in the past but, the only treatment they offered was instructions for me to buy Compound W and apply it at home each night for 8 weeks even though I told them I already had been using it without any success.
Unlike the previous «Doctors» I saw, Dr. Yashar spent time with me using multiple treatments and prescription medications I applied at home. Now I have about 97% clearance and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I no longer feel like a leper thanks to Dr Yashar and his staff. I feel whole again.
I highly recommend Dermatology Associates of Southern California and Dr. Yashar.

Absolute joke of an office. I made an appointment 2 days prior and when I arrived. I was given papers to complete as usual. After about 10 minutes I was told I wasn’t on the schedule and I probably made an appointment with «a guy». I was told to wait some more.
After going to the exam room, I finally saw the doctor’s feet under a curtain at 57 minutes in. He left. I was told by an assistance that he probably went to an «easier» patient when I asked what’s going on and that I had to get back to work. I popped my head out 10 minutes later and said I need to go if I don’t see him in 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, I went to the front and asked for a refund of my $ 100 deductible charge I had paid with cc. (tip: don’t pay until the end)
While the girl was processing the refund, I saw the doctor walk out with a look on his face that indicated he knew there was a problem. He refused to acknowledge my concerns or apologize for the wait in any way. Without speaking, he ran off into his office.
I got the hell out of there never to return.
Bonus problem: there was a female assistance (blonde chick) that has no bedside manner whatsoever. She comes into occupied patient rooms without knocking while chewing gum. She threw a clipboard at another patient and told her to wait in the room. The patient said «and?» as if to indicate to her that the instructions weren’t clear and she was being rude. I don’t think she caught on or cared.
There was 1 nice gentleman who handled the intake process. Very professional and courteous. Hopefully he’ll find a real office or hospital and not this dump.

I would not recommend Dr. Yashar or his clinic. He needs training about how to talk to clients. He was abrupt and rude to both my son who was being treated for acne and myself. Additionally, he talked down to his female staff members. It was embarrassing for him as a professional. I would seek dermatology treatment from someone with a little more humility.

Fantastic firm. They did a wonderful job with both my cyst and my Botox. I have nothing but good reviews to share.

Eh, not so much… at least not from my experience.
Was here to get some warts removed. I think this place used to be some type of office building, as there’s a huge atruim-​esque area with offices on the perimeter. An interesting, albeit disturbing observation that there were a couple birds up in the rafters. I can’t be sure if they were carrying any avian flu, but I’d like to have the facilities for any medical treatment be animal-​free.
Dermatologist told me my warts were «huge and precancerous.» I’m not a medical doctor, but either he’s seen plenty of warts to know what to look for, or he just diagnoses simply by sight. Two other doctors I’ve spoken with asked if he did a biopsy. Well, no… doesn’t make me feel any better. Bedside manner was clinical, at best. Not that I want to be best friends of drinking buddies, but I didn’t feel like my level of service was met.
Other interesting tidbit is that since I have insurance through work (which isn’t real common in the world of private contract security), the fee was $ 60; but they have a note that says any charges of $ 100 or more must be paid in cash. Ok, let’s clarify; you have a point-​of-​sale machine, but I can’t put a charge over $ 100 on it. Lame. I can understand a minimum charge, but a maximum charge? Heck, their own website shows treatments in the $ 150+ range… better bring cash.
Only positives were that my appointment time was honored (hate when doctors schedule several people for the same time, like my soon to be ex-​primary care physician) and they’re local.
Hint: Go on their website for their fee schedule and bring cash.

Not bad at all. Staff was courteous. The doctor was gentle and caring and helped me with my problem.
