"Visited Dr. Melamed on 3/23/17 for Botox and fillers. The frown lines on my forehead and dark circles under the eyes were my biggest complaints. I was pleasantly surprised by Dr. Melamed's patience and bedside manner, he answered questions and explained everything beforehand. I had never had any fillers done before so naturally I was a bit nervous but it was actually less painful than Botox which is almost painless to me. I was told to apply ice to the areas and have noticed a little bruising but I am very pleased with my results from just this one visit. I highly recommend Dr. Melamed and felt at ease with him and his lovely wife Lisa who scheduled the appointment. They made me feel comfortable and also made sure that I had after-care instructions along with their phone numbers and emails if any questions or problems were to arise. I will definitely return and would refer family and friends."
"I am not from L.A. but wanted the L.A. Spa experience. I drove down from San Diego to see Dr. Melamed and was greeted warmly by Lisa at the front desk. I was well informed of all the procedures they offer and felt like I was well educated on everything before getting any service. The office is clean and sanitized. I like that there is a private waiting area as well. Everything went smoothly and Dr. Melamed's bed side manner was awesome! I love my results and feel like I turned back the hands of time on my face! I highly recommend Dr. Melamed and encourage those who live in the area to get a consult with him. He goes through everything with you and cares about your results!!! Thanks for everything to all of you!!"
"I came 2 weeks ago for laser peel, PRP and more. Lisa is so friendly & Dr Melamed is so warm and great manner. Made me comfortable and feeling like I'm in good hands! And best of all-no surprises! I'm back for 2 week follow up and very happy with my younger, smoother skin. Recommend West LA Medical to everyone! "
"Fantastic! You can tell Dr. Melamed loves his job. Wonderful attitude and probably the most thorough check-ups I've ever had. My appointment was one of the last ones of the day and never once did I feel like I was being rushed.Also the assistant, is just as attentive as Dr. Melamed. You'll be in great hands with him!"
"I love this office. Dr. Malamed has changed my life completely. He is very kind and gentle. He made me feel very comfortable when I was in his office. He really takes the time to understand what it is that you want and also advices you on the different options you have in order to reach your overall weight loss goals. Lisa his receptionist is also friendly and will try to work with your schedule to get you in the office to see the doctor. I would advise anyone that has issues with cellulite to give him a visit you will not regret it. I trust his practice so much I have even made my other and patient of his as well and she loves him too. He treated her with care and made her very happy with her results."
"I feel so blessed to have found Dr. Melamed. There are so many great things about him as a doctor...but none would really matter if he were not the incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and talented doctor that he is. However add to that he, and his wife Lisa who if the office manger for this wonderful skin care center, are the epitome of respect for their patients (I've never had to wait when I arrived for an appointment) as well as compassionate and so very nice and kind. "
"I went to Dr. Melamed looking for answers to severe acne scars I had had since my teenage years. At 54 I finally got tired of feeling self conscious about them. I also wanted to know what could be done for my marionette lines and my collapsed eyebrows and eyelids. Dr. Melamed performed two separate derma surfacings on my face...my huge pores disappeared, my skin tightened, wrinkles went away, and my acne scarring was smoothed away. Then I had fillers on both my marionette lines and the hollows under my eyes and the results were incredible. And I had Botox in two places above my eyes to lift my eyebrows and open up my eyes. Awesome results. I got contacts and wear eye shadow again. For the first time in probably 5 or 6 years, I want people to look at my eyes. Having these procedures done has done so much for my self esteem. I smile at myself when I look in the mirror. Another thing about Dr. Melamed is he really looks at your face as art. There were a couple of places I wanted Botox and fillers, he told me to wait and see the results of his suggestions. He was right. My face looks younger and natural with the treatments he suggested. I have wholeheartedly recommended Dr. Melamed to my friends. I imagine if you are reading this review, you are looking for a doctor to help you with some things about your skin and appearance that you would like to improve. I suggest that you do yourself a favor and book a consultation with him. Dr. Melamed is talented and trustworthy--and he helped me achieve something that made me feel incredibly good about myself. Thank you Dr. Melamed."
"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 don’t 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 wasn’t 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 exactly 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 rejuvenation or anything done to their face, should go here first. They will be in good hands."
“I have seen Dr. Melamed as a personal doctor when I have been ill. I have had Botox with him, AND lipodissolve with acoustic wave treatments. In all cases he has been absolutely excellent. He explained everything, never pushed anything, and always put my health and well being first. I have been extremely happy with Dr. Melamed, and with my results. I cannot say enough good about Dr. Melamed and Lisa in the front office. They are always very thorough, and professional, and very kind. I highly recommend them.”

“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 doctor’s office. Dr. Melamed seems to believe in old school physician care which translates into a very pleasant and highly recommended experience.”
