I came here for a short period of time. The treatments were so expensive. At first I thought they were worth it but I ended up paying $ 500 for an extraction and some creams you can technically buy at the store. Like sulfur cream. The chemicals were so harsh that I ended up with MORE scars on my face. One of them left a mark on my laugh line and she was also giving me injections for pimples that kept coming back but instead the areas she injected again left scar marks. Skin is not one size fits all. I know I have not updated my review in years but I felt it needed to be done. She’s a very nice doctor and her receptionist is sweet. I don’t think she intended to damage my skin more but this was a learning experience.

Dr. Angeles is very passionate about skin care and etc. Not only that, her and her employee are caring and professional. Indeed, their quality is exceptional. Note that they are expensive. Quality: I have severe acne and it has been clearing up thanks to the care of Dr. Angeles. I have been going to a regular dermatologist for 11 years and all that doctor did was prescribe me was medications. My session prices: 1) $ 800.00(w/medicines) 2) $ 600.00 3.) $ 600.00 Building: Since they are expensive, I expected their clinic to have a modern and unique ambience. Their clinic does not exemplify the quality they give. Price: It is expensive, be prepared to drop a few hundred dollars. Maybe more. I stopped going to them because they are overpriced. I went to a much more affordable and improved dermatologist in the Philippines that treated my face and removed the acne scars that Dr. Angeles left me. Now, I have no acne.

I’ve been coming here since I was 16 because I had really bad acne. My acne has since cleared thanks to Dr. Melody. However, I still go for the occasional break up and to get my skin products. The staff is very helpful and genuine. They really want to help you.

I have been coming to MARC clinic for over 4 – 5 years now. I’ve never had a complaint about their services. Their facilities are very clean and services are one of a kind. Other places that I have been into the past didn’t compare to the VIP service that I receive here. The doctor, Melody Riparip is very professional with her craft and knows exactly what you need even if you didn’t come for it! I came to them without an appointment to have a facial done. They were kind of busy, but Prixie the nurse said that she would be able to squeeze me in if I was willing to wait. I said it would be ok as long as it was ok with Dr. Melody. As i waited, I sat in one of their massage chairs having my milk tea boba. I started to dose off. I’m not sure if it was because of the food that I ate or if it was because of the indoor fountain that gave it the right ambiance. As I napped and snored(says the little girl waiting for her mom) my troubles away, Eva, the manager, woke me up and said that it was my turn to get prepped. As I was cleaning up my drool(kidding!) I went into one of the rooms to wash and clean my face. As I waited, Prixie came in and applied a topical anesthesia to numb my face. I had them do it one time without it… I wouldn’t recommend it! Anyways, Dr Melody came in and I told her that I would like to have my monthly facial. Extraction here and there with a couple of shots that needed to be shot! She said that I was need of a daimond peel, which was microdermabrasion procedure. She told me the reason for it and I decided for it to be done. If you think she was getting more out of me, she wasn’t. My last visit, I went all«metro on her» and I asked for fillings and botox. She laughed at me and told me that I was still too young and that I didn’t need any of that except for my monthly facials. Other places would say«yeah, let’s do it» even if I didn’t need it! So I’m very fortunate for them. My extractions were done and followed by my diamond peel. Dr Melody was very gentle but was rough when she needed to be. Afterwards, Prixie gave my daily regiment of creams and lotions. That completed my monthly visit. MARC clinic is not only a facial clinic, they are also a medical clinic as well. They specailize in family medicine and also have a health and wellness program. So next time you have a fever, come over to MARC Clinic where you can get your antibiotics and botox done in one shot!!! Tell them Danny sent you. Seriously! :-)
