Dr. Akhavan is simply the best dermatologist in NYC! Within just two days of receiving my Botox treatment, I am already starting to see my lip lines and under-eye wrinkles fade. The procedure was quick and essentially painless. Honestly I wish I tried Botox earlier, I am already obsessed. Scheduling my appointment was also very easy, and the front staff at the office have been very friendly and professional. All of my initial concerns were addressed by Alyssa, which gave me a high degree of confidence in the clinic.

I get PicoWay Laser, Dr. Akhavan is the best- professional, kind and show me compassion (I did a boo boo) in between my laser sessions. Excellent customer service, professionalism and courteous staff. Front desk girl Vylia O is always helpful, respectful, friendly, and accommodating. Thanks Tiffany usually wants to know my feedback from the previous session. Olivia as well, and the rest of medical assistants, nurses. Also, esthetician Ally is great. I got my first Hydrafacial very nice experience, really like it- Ally explained every step. I’m a girl of color and I feel welcome here, and trust Dr.Akhavan and his staff.

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER and on my birthday no less. The two women at the front desk were beyond rude and nasty to me and acted like they were annoyed of my existence. If I hadn’t put down a deposit for the appointment, I would’ve walked out on principle.The esthetician was a bit nicer, emphasizing “a bit”, but still cold. Overall, I wasn’t welcomed as a new client and everyone made sure to passively let me know. NEVER AGAIN
