Dr. Shahin Shahidi Javaheri, MD

I have struggled with Acne from my High school years, as I got through college and entered into the workforce I never had the confidence because of my self image. First impressions is everything, and with Acne and Acne scaring that impression may not be a great one. I decided to find on Doctor that could help change the way I feel about myself, after doing hours of research on-line I believe that I found the perfect Doctor and Staff that could change my life. I set an appointment with Dr. Javaheri, my belief of the best doctor was confirmed on my first call. I was greeted on the phone by a very professional staff, I had a very professional and thorough consult with the Office Director (she) took the time to explain the procedure, the costs (very reasonable), the recovery, and post procedure guidelines. The Office Director gave my complete confidence I selected the right office and Doctor to help me. I did several treatments with Dr. Javheri as my acne was pretty bad, I elected the… laser and post skin treatment creams as my procedures, he was great and the results turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I now have clear skin, and my self confidence is at an all time high. I highly recommend Dr. Javaheri and his staff.....one of the BEST in the industry!

This might be my longest review, so be prepared to read for a bit. You may thank me in the end. So you usually go to a doctor for help. Sometimes you need a special doctor who has a particular skill. When you go to this doctor looking for help, & explain your horrific journey that brought you to him, and he listens, & "seems" to genuinely care, it gives you hope. Because nothing is worse than needing help & having a terrible time getting it. The help that you need is *not* considered "cosmetic" in your particular situation, & you know for a fact that your insurance will, in fact, cover the cost of the procedure. This doctor is in your "plan" & (allegedly) accepts your insurance. All that's needed is a prior authorization. You found it a bit odd that this doctor was suggesting alternative procedures to fix this issue, which he admitted to knowing they would NOT be covered by insurance. Even though you were VERY clear you only wanted to go through your insurance. Yet… he persisted. Not just one alternative, but several. When you're firm about *only* going through insurance, he assures you it isn't a problem & that if necessary, he can acquire the specific items needed to complete the procedure. In fact, this doctor personally knows the doctor who previously did this procedure on you, & called his assistant (in front of you) for help regarding which billing codes to use. You're told that an "expedited prior authorization" would be submitted & to expect to hear back from his office very soon. You leave this doctor's office with the ability to exhale. You've had a terrible & long journey, but you've finally found someone who cares. Someone who will fix your problem. You're happy. No, you're elated. But when you get a call from this doctor's office not 3 hours later, telling you "your insurance won't pay for the procedure", you're confused. You ask how the insurance company was able to make a decision on a prior authorization so quickly. Within hours. Late in the day, no less. You're told that your insurance company considers the procedure as "cosmetic" & they won't pay for it. When you ask if they actually contacted your insurance company, they then tell the truth & say "that's what our billing department said". You ask if they could proceed with the prior authorization & you're told they'd call you "right back". And so when you get home, you call your insurance company in tears to ask them if, in fact, they consider this procedure as "cosmetic". They confirm that it is NOT considered cosmetic, & the doctor most likely just didn't want to do the procedure for the insurance amount that he'd be paid. But you give this doctor the benefit of the doubt, & wait for a call back. Ten days, to be exact. And you never hear from his office. The insurance company confirms that no prior authorization was ever submitted. The hope. The relief. It's all gone. In all the years I have been Yelping, I have *never* felt the need to write a poor review for a doctor. Someone who has taken the Hippocratic Oath in which it states, "I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrong-doing." This doctor is different. I grappled with leaving a poor review, but it is the truth, & I believe it should be told. It should be noted that after I left a different review on a different site, I was called repeatedly, texted, & emailed to the point it was harassment. They wanted me to remove my experience, even though it was the truth. It should be noted, at that first appointment, I was advised that I needn’t pay my copay, as it was “only considered a consultation.” Yet SIX MONTHS later, they make the decision to go ahead & bill my insurance anyway & subsequently send me a bill for my copay. Very untruthful & UNBELIEVABLY UNPROFESSIONAL! And should you choose to see this doctor, you should take this review into consideration. On the surface he is caring, he is helpful, & he is kind. But in the end, he cares more about lining his pockets than helping his patients.

Very clean & comfortable office. Julie was very pleasant & knowledgeable . Looking forward to another visit in the near future.

My experience with Dr javaheri and his staff was excellent. He gave me different options for my facial rejuvenation and educated me on what treatments were available to me. I ended up doing as he recommended and my results are great! I had no bruising.

I got botox with Dr. Javaheri a few weeks ago and the results are fantastic. He put me at ease immediately and really listened to my questions and took the time to answer them. I was so nervous as it was my first time but had a great experience! I will definitely be going back. Very knowledgeable about liposuction and fat transfer procedures as well... (I was thinking about it...if I do do it, I am definitely going to him!!)

I had a large cyst on my sclp by my ear. Dr Javaheri scheduled excision in his office within a week of the time I first saw him. He slowly, but nearly pain free, anesthetized the area and removed the cyst. He carefully cleaned my hair of the prep and blood after surgery. Follow-up was easy, and there is no recurrence a year later.

My son was involved in an accident and it was late in the day on a FRIDAY. Dr Javaheri's office took my concerns and he PERSONALLY called me. He then kept his office open until I was able to bring my son in later that day. It was only later I found that he rearranged his plans to see us. I felt so blessed and forever I am greatful. My son had 2 very large cuts to his face and I was worried. Dr Javaheri did an amazing job on his face. Now, a few months out, my son looks great and the scars from his accident are barely visible. I can't thank him enough. He was so kind, down to earth and a wonderful person.

Dr Javahiri is arrogant and did not listened to our concerns. In addition he was wrong about how surgery would help. The surgery left terrible scars.
