This is by far the nicest, most professional skincare clinic I have been to. I was interested in getting laser treatment done for enlarged pores and discoloration, even considering Fraxel (which they dont do BTW). First I went to another place that I felt uneasy about, so I thought I would get a second opinion here. They were extremely welcoming when I entered (even offered me water as I waited) and apologized for the wait, even though it wasnt that long. As soon as I was able to see the doctor he was just as accommodating. He was very nice, patient and asked me a lot of questions about my concerns- just seemed genuinely interested. He then took pictures of my face, asking me to point out my concerns on a magnified projector screen, and told me what was best for my skin. He did not try to sell me anything inappropriate or even ask me when I was ready to make my first appointment. As a matter of fact, he talked me out of laser treatment altogether saying it was not necessary and that I should save my thousands of dollars and go for something less ablative. We agreed on 6 sessions of various less expensive peels & microdermabrasion, which I cannot wait to start. The receptionist went over all the details at the end, and even she wasn't pushy. Altogether, it was an amazing, comforting experience and this is exaclty what I wanted when contemplating having something done to my face. To make things even better, they even send me a Thank You letter in the mail for coming in! Anyone thinking of having skin rejuvination or anything done to thier face, should go here first. They will be in good hands. Pros: Friendly, patient, clean facility, all new equipment. Cons: none

I am an experienced Botox user for the last several years...I know how many units of Botox I need to get the desired results. Dr. David Melamed talked me into getting more Botox units and I agreed because Allergan (the manufacturer of Botox) had a $50 rebate so I thought why not. The results of the Botox job Dr. David Melamed did was the worst I've ever had...went back to his office to have him fix it after the suggested two weeks time ...Dr. Melamed wanted more money to fix his bad job...amazing! Do yourself a favor and go to some other doctor that knows how to do business the right way. Pros: None

I read the reviews after the fact but my experience was amazing. If anything Doctor Melamed was very conservative and talked me out of doing too much Botox. I admit that I have shopped around for the best price and I know many places charging a lot and will push Botox. No way here and I am very happy. He did my Botox middle of December and I feel great. Pros: Very nice office and easy to park. Cons: None

Super happy with my acne treatment. Doctor M took time to talk with me and explain what I needed and gave real direction. I went to two other dermatologists and they only prescribed medications or wanted to give me acutane. Instead with doctor melamed he actually treated me with this blue and red light and special washes and some topical creams. I am now three months in and my acne is much better. My only gripe for not giving 5 stars is their office hours! Only open during the week so I have to take off from work for my treatments. otherwise they are 5 starts all the way. Pros: private office and spent lots of time with me. great office. free parking. reasonable price Cons: not open on weekends

Apparently the two people who left the negative comments must have been either at the wrong office or just have nothing better to do with their time but to badmouth good companies and people that are left in the medical field, especially aesthetics. Dr. Melamed is one of the best doctors I've been to in Los Angeles. He is very sincere, takes his time and explains all the procedures. He is very conservative and believe me he never pushes on more botox but rather less. Their office is very nice and the staff is very friendly and knowledgable. They have found a client for life. Pros: Experienced doctor & knwoledgable staff

Interested in the money, not quality of work. Will not offer refunds for his mistakes. Doesn't take responsibility for actions, probably will deny his role in this.

I've tried everything for my cellulite and nothing worked until I tried Dr. Melamed's treatments. It did take awhile (I started noticeing results after about 4 weeks, and more dramatic results after a couple months) and it is more expensive than buying, say, cellulite cream (which is totally useless, don't waste your money)at a drugstore , but the difference is IT WORKS! Dr Melamed not only administered the treatments but also took an interest in my overall health, diet, and excercise habits and helped me make positive changes in those too. I would recommend this service to anyone. It's totally worth it being able to wear shorts or a bathing suit and not being embarrased about how my cellulite looks or feeling like I constantly have to keep covered up. Also, the office is beautiful and the staff is exceptionally kind and friendly.

I tried 16 Acoustic Wave Therapy treatments as well as a Titan treatment for celluilite with Dr. Melamed. It did not produce results. Total cost - $3,500. WHen I asked if the Dr. would follow up he offered me a "discounted" price. DO NOT GO TO THIS OFFICE FOR THE AWT. DOES NOT WORK WELL.

I am not one to write reviews online but I had to sign up for Citysearch solely to share my thoughts on Dr. Melamed and Lisa's unique care and service. Simply put, their care has been the best I have experienced in dermatology or in any other medical care for that matter. They offer one on one attention and are very responsive to follow up questions. They expend the greatest effort in making sure the patient fully understands the medical issues and suggested treatment. It doesn't hurt that their offices feel like a day spa and not a doctors office. Dr. Melamed seems to believe in old school physican care which translates into a very pleasant and highly recommended experience.
