Parrish Sadeghi, MD, FAAD

Guys don’t be fooled by the doctor’s sweet smile. She really has no clue about skin problems and types at all. She gave me three different prescriptions trying to fix my skin problem without really trying. Nothing helped. She wants you to keep coming back and pay for each visit. When it comes to laser I’ve never seen such ignorant doctor before, not only she doesn’t know what laser to use for what treatment, she will want you to keep coming back for more laser treatments knowing that it doesn’t work on you. And of course she charges for each treatment either it had any improvement or not. Avoid her. And try other doctors in Santa Monica.

I have seen Dermatologists on a regular basis since childhood and Dr Sadeghi has been by far my favorite. She is very smart and thorough, and has an excellent bedside manner. She made it a point my first visit to really listen to my symptoms and expectations before making a treatment recommendation. I have been very pleased. Her office is also run very efficiently. She is punctual, her staff is courteous and professional, and the clinic rooms and waiting room are always clean. I highly recommend Dr. Sadeghi.

If I could give Dr. Sadeghi and her practice 0 stars, I would. First of all, she is a terrible dermatologist. I have Crohn’s disease and I’m pretty positive I disclosed that, but she prescribed a medicated cream for my acne that directly warns against using it if you have Crohn’s disease. Second, she sold me a glycolic wash for $ 45 and I found the same thing on amazon for half that. I mean I know everything is more expensive in a doc’s office, but double the price? That is ridiculous. Third, she automatically prescribed me solodyn which is a heavy duty medication. I have some persistent bacne, but it isn’t bad enough to warrant medication. I got the feeling she was just trying to make a sale and get me on a track in which I would have to continually purchase products from her supplier.
Despite all these red flags, I went back for my follow up appointment anyway. I should have cancelled like I thought. My appointment was at 1 pm. I got there at 1 pm. I work in a doctor’s office so I know doctors run late and you should expect to wait 10 minutes. At 15 minutes, I asked where the doc was and they told me it would be another 10 minutes. I only have 45 minutes for lunch and already half of it was gone just sitting in the waiting room. After 20 minutes or so they finally bring me into the exam room. I wait another 10 minutes or so and my lunch is over so I have to get dressed and leave. I never saw the doctor until I walked out of the exam room.
The doctor was outside the door talking to a PCC and looked at me like I was the rude one and said she was about to walk in. Well, after waiting more than a half hour, «about to walk in» was irrelevant to me. I had to cut my losses and get back to work. I didn’t storm out. I just told them I had to get back to work. They made no effort to apologize to me for the wait, they didn’t even care to go after me or try to get me to stay. When I had explained to them 20 minutes before that I only had my lunch break for this appointment, they made no effort to try to accommodate that; in fact, they took their sweet time getting to me. With only 1 patient ahead of me from before 1 pm when I walked in, a half hour was way too long to make me wait, especially when the doctor was just talking to the PCCs. I honestly might have been able to forgive all of that if she was actually an effective dermatologist, but she isn’t. She gets an F in all categories.
IN SUMMARY, this doctor is over-​priced, over-​rated, ineffective, and doesn’t care at all about her patients. At least she didn’t care at all about my business anyway. If you are looking for a new dermatologist, and if you’re reading this you probably are, keep looking. I wasted my time, my money, and my entire lunch break on a terrible doctor and now it’s back to the drawing board for me.

Went to see Dr. Sadeghi for acne. Initially I thought it was due to hormone, so the doctor ordered a lab test that was conducted next door — providence. She determined that it was not due to hormones even though when my Ob&Gyn saw the results of the lab test, he said the requested result was not thorough, thus not sufficient to determine whether I have PCOS or not.
Long story short, I got billed $ 175 for the first visit, then follow-​up was ALSO $ 173? And $ 120 lab test fee. Be mindful of your future payments before visiting this doctor!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Sadeghi for about two years now, and I love her! Her bedside manner is awesome, and her staff offer such great customer service. The office is clean and modern. I have highly sensitive skin, and she has been so patient with everything from my acne, to fissures, to itchy dry skin! The best part is that you can book online through ZocDoc. Fast, easy and convenient!

She is perfect. She knows what she is doing. You could completely trust her. And what an amazing crew.

Dr Sadeghi is Great! I was able to get a regular appointment in a reasonable amount of time. She was very thorough. I didn’t feel like she was hurrying to get out of the room to her next patient which seems rare nowadays. She explained everything well and listened to my questions. I’d definitely recommend her, and will return for any future skin care issues.

Dr Sadeghi is a great doctor. She’s super personable and easy to talk to. Her staff is great too. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Dr Sadeghi is absolutely amazing. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and very detailed in her examination. The office is very clean and up to date with very friendly and helpful staff. I totally recommend her.

Seriously amazing! So nice made me feel really comfortable. Answered all my questions and explained everything she was doing which helped me relax. I can’t recommend her enough! One tip is to come early, finding parking can be challenging

I came to her with something new, I’ve researched my condition, but it was getting worst so luckily she was able to fit me in. She even said «I will hold your hand through this process» which was followed with a hug. It was exactly what I needed at that moment. She knows her stuff, and is detailed. Thank you again!

I like Dr. Sadeghi. She talks out her diagnosis with me and answers all of my questions. She is very knowledgeable.

Dr. Sadeghi is truly the best dermatologist i’ve ever been to. I cannot recommend her enough! I see her for my acne and after years of having no response to treatments with other doctors, i’ve finally seen results with her!

Dr. Sadeghi was kind, patient and very helpful in solving my issue. I found her to be knowledgable and professional. Her treatment resolved my issue quickly and I am really grateful. Her staff was friendly and helpful in getting me an appointment soon. They have paid parking in the medical building garage but they don’t validate, so I had to get there early to find free street parking. I highly recommend this medical team.

My experience with Dr. Sadeghi, was great. She was very comforting, kind and diagnosed
my problem right off. I was so grateful for her help and I felt almost 100% better by the next day. She is really amazing and is now and forever my Dermatologist.
Her happy patient,

Dr. Sadeghi is wonderful. I felt genuinely cared for and not just like another patient. She was thorough, professional, warm and sympathetic. She has a brighter side of life disposition. I would trust her with my family and I cannot possibly recommend her highly enough.
