Payam Abrishami, MD

I have been a long time sufferer of acne and acne scarring. I thought that I would always have scarring for the rest of my life. However, Dr. Abrishami introduced me to a technique called micro needling. I have done the micro needling procedure two times now and I am coming back for one more treatment. I have seen significant improvement in my skin texture and minimized pore size.
In addition, Dr. Abrishami prescribed me a medication called Refissa that has drastically improved new breakouts and my oily complexion.
I would highly recommend this SUPER DOCTOR for his effective treatment and calm, friendly demeanor.

One of the most wonderful things about going to see Dr Abrishami is that you feel safe and like family; He really care about you.
He will make you look like the best most beautful version of yourself and possibly way better!
He was really informative and straight to the point not just telling me things I wanna hear but he was realistic and I appreciated that.
I have received Juviderm in my lips and eyelides, Radiesse in cheeks, Dr. Abrishami is great at what he does, is friendly and cheerful, and honest, and has a very gentle hand! I am always comfortable with him! I definitely see a difference… my lips look very natural… just nicely naturally full… not lumpy… dimply or too big…
I completely trust with my face and one who will also not hurt my wallet.
Previously the Radiesse injections were extremely painful… one day after is not so bad at all… but it seems to be smoothing out…
Just make sure your injecting physician is highly trained and experienced, such as a dermatologist like Dr Abrishami to maximize results and minimize potential problems.
I can’t wait till I can go for a consultation for another procedure soon!
Many Thanks.

Dr Abrishami did an excellent job performing a biopsy, then follow up MOHS removal of a squamous on my jawline, just under my ear. I was nervous about the procedure and the scarring, but he and his assistant did an excellent job. I took a book to read and played scrabble on my phone while I waited and it only took 2 removals to get the cancer cells out before I was stitched up and free to go. I admit I was worried about the scar but it is a straight small line which is fading away to pink and you can barely notice it. Easy to cover with makeup or with my hair down. Daughter suggested big earrings: P
Dr Abrishami probably thinks I am stalking him with so many reviews!!! lol. However, he is an excellent dermatologist and I trust him to keep me and my skin healthy and cancer free. Plus his surgery is staffed with welcoming friendly staff and I’ve always felt comfortable and cared for there. That is what you want in a Dr’s surgery isn’t it?

First let me start by saying, Dr Abrishami is amazing! I never had a reason to see a dermatologist. When the need arose, I asked a friend of mine who happens to be a doctor.
When I found out that I needed an excision, I became apprehensive because I have a tremendous fear of needles. Not only was his knowledge of his specialty incredible but his nature and personality made the entire procedure, pain free, anxiety free and at times he even had me laughing.
On top of how wonderful he is, his staff is equally amazing! They all are kind, comforting and on top of what they do!
Thank you Dr. Amy Lee for the referral, but thank you most of all to Dr Payam Abrishami and staff for taking such wonderful care of a patient like me. I will never wait to check out anything having to do with my skin. By the way, after my procedure, when I booked my follow up appointment, My husband booked an appointment to check out something that has been bothering him.
If you need a dermatologist, who as a bonus is a pathologist, (bonus) definitely this is where you want to go!

Dr Abrishami is an amazing Dr, it’s good to know that he’s also a pathologist. I come from Paris, and tried the best surgeons and dermatologist over there, it was useless. I also tried to find a good doctor in Italy, same thing. I’ve been struggling with a cheloid scar and I know it’s a real challenge for many doctors. Dr Abrishami knew right away what was the appropriate treatment to do and I’m very happy with the results. It’s almost like a miracle for me. I was hopeless before seeing Dr Abrishami. All the words cant express my gratitude toward him and his friendly staff.
I will also add that he’s a very good listener and will also explain you everything before to start any treatment.
He’s probably the best doctor in California or in USA to treat a Cheloid/​keloid scar. Many thanks!!!

Dr. Abrishami is an extremely educated & skillful Dr, as well as being incredibly compassionate & patient. His entire entire staff (Veronica, Cathy, & Stacy), complete what is one of the best Dr. offices of any medical field, in the area. Everyone I have recommended him to, has agreed that he is the best Dermotologist, with the best office!

I am beyond thrilled with the overall experience I had at dr abrishami’s dermatology office. Even though I was running really late and missed my scheduled appointment time, dr abrishami made time to see me which was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated.
The staff was friendly and the office/​patient waiting rooms were extremely clean and organized. Although the office was clearly busy, I never felt rushed by the staff or dr abrishami while explaining my skin concerns/​desired procedure results, and all of my questions were answered in a straight forward and non-​condescending manner.
Additionally, I love the results of my juvederm and Botox injections. After having several bad experiences at ‘medical spas’ and sketchy ‘groupon’ doctors’ offices, I was hesitant to try juvederm again but was recommended to dr abrishami’s office by a friend and decided to give it one last shot (no pun intended!) I can say with complete confidence that this is the happiest I’ve ever been with the appearance of my lips post juvederm, and that going to a good dr who knows how/​where/​how much to inject makes ALL the difference!

Excellent service twice in the last couple of years with this MD. I like that he is not only the treating physician but also a pathologist. I highly recommend him to family and friends.

This guy is amazing. I struggled with Rosacea around my eyes for 2 years. I went to 4 dermatologists and they prescribed me the medicine that made the issue worse. Dr. Abrishami looked at me and in 2 seconds said without a shadow of doubt identified what I was struggling with. He also is a certified pathologist so to verify his knowledge he took a sample. 4 days later my rosacea was gone!!! His office staff is kind and making appointments is a breeze. They are upfront with their billing and actually follow up over the phone to check up on me. I was blown away.
I have just found my dermatologist for life.

I am a harsh judge of doctors, but if anyone needs to go to a dermatologist I highly recommend Dr. Abrishami in Agoura. Most dermatologists I’ve found to be relatively useless, unless you have skin cancer. And, I’ve been to many over the past three decades. However, this doctor is brilliant, fantastically educated, and nice. He’s also a (dermato-​) pathologist. I was also impressed that he listens as well as he informs. –Yay for my great find!

Dr. Abrishami is such a breath of fresh air! I didn’t wait at all! His staff was very sweet. Not only are they pleasant when you come in but they are just as courteous when you leave. I came in for Fillers w/​Radiesse. He was gentle and a perfectionist. I am so pleased with his work & extremely grateful that he is knowledgeable in skin and irregular moles. Being fair skinned I have lots of them & he noticed an irregular mole immediately & asked to take a skin graph, of course I said yes. Still waiting for the results but overall I am very pleased & will be Coming back for sclerotherapy. I like the fact that there is no pressure on sales & even though I want to fill my face, lips, well basically anywhere a needle will fit, Dr. Abrishami won’t do anything that isn’t needed and he won’t ever let me look like a duck! Thank goodness! I am very pleased with my experience.

He may be a great doctor, but I never had the chance to experience that. I waited 45 minutes in a freezing cold exam room in a gown, and finally left when no one came in to even apologize for the delay.
If he had been taking all this time with other patients prior to my visit, I would possibly be able to understand, but that wasn’t the case. He arrived right behind me in street clothes into the building (on the phone with his assistants who were asking where he was b/​c he was late) and then walked into the waiting room with his scrubs on after I had already finished my paperwork. So did he change in the public bathroom? So random.
It’s nice to see that he is thought about so highly, though. Finding the right fit with a Doctor is so important. If you have the time to wait around for him, then he’s your guy. I am a working Mother and my time is SO limited. So, having made me wait all that time without an apology, I give him one star. His time is in no way more valuable than mine and he’s not the only excellent dermatologist in the conejo valley.

I have recurring skin cancer that requires surgery and after a very expensive and not so good experience with a doctor in Westwood, my wife found Dr Abrishami. What a blessing. There are doctors that are in it for the money, and there’s doctors that put the patient first. Dr Abrishami wants to help people. He performed three Basel cell carcinoma excisions with perfection at ONE THIRD the cost of my prior doctor! His team is professional and caring. I would highly recommend anyone with skin problems to see him.

Excellent doctor and well worth the drive. It took only about 20 minutes to get there, not bad at all.
Dr. Abrishami saw me right away, no wait, and didn’t just send in a nurse to do his job. He was very professional, with excellent bedside manner. He seems very intelligent and was very kind. He listened to everything and was able to help my skin as needed.
The Dr himself called me 2 days later to follow up. I wasn’t expecting that and it was very great.
The office is very clean and staff were so nice. Parking is easy and finding the building is easy. I recommend Dr Abrishami to anyone looking for a smart, kind, and helpful dermatologist.

Excellent. You can tell he is really into what he does. A Cornell graduate. I heard that he also teaches at UCLA. I went to him initially based on Reviews. Now I bring my kids to him, he is great with them as well. I finally found a go to dermatologist.

Dr. Payam is such a nice, knowledgeable doctor. I went in and he knew exactly what I had. He is super knowledgeable and know exactly what to recommend. Has great pointers. Staff is also very friendly. I am due to see him again because he wants to make sure I don’t go back to my old habits! How great is that.
I actually decided to go to him because of all of the great reviews on Unilocal.So happy that I did, so if you too are looking for a great, friendly, dermatologist make sure you go to him. :)

Fantastic Dermatologist!
First of all Dr. Abrishami is super smart, not affected, patient and amiable. His staff are all super pro, friendly and his practice is in a brand new building so it could not be nicer or cleaner. It is also super conveniently located off the Kanan exit from the 101.
I have seen him now three times. First for a check up where he did an impressively thorough exam of my skin and diagnosed really pesky dandruff, an unsightly rash and removed two small growths from my leg and hip. He biopsied both and I received a very cheerful follow up with the results when they were ready less than a week later. I had to make a follow up appointment to have a really bothersome sebaceous cyst removed. Both prescriptions he gave me for the dandruff and rash are working very well.
For my second appointment again Dr. Abrishami was on time, cheerful and ready to go. I experienced zero pain during the cyst removal procedure, zero issues with the four stitches I received and again a cheerful follow up call from his staff letting me know that the cyst was benign. My third visit to have the stitches removed also was a great experience.
So, if you are looking for a Dermatologist it’s your lucky day because your search has successfully guided you here.
I could not recommend him more highly.
World class.

Hands down — excellent.
He did not push any type of «cosmetic» dermatology on me, rather focused first on general skin review and challenges. He just knows his stuff and is incredibly thorough. Appointments are limited but worth it.
I also has my husband go in for a skin rash and the Dr. knew EXACTLY what it was, predicted what would happen, and what to do and it worked! Note, hubby went to two other doctors who were completely off.

I decided to take my daughter to an out of network provider for dermatology because we were not getting the treatment I thought she needed. The entire visit was excellent, start to finish. I was very impressed with how Dr. Abrishami spoke to my 13 year old daughter and made her feel comfortable. He was very thorough in his explanations and very caring. I am so happy we found Dr. Abrishami, and we will continue to see him for all my daughter’s dermatology needs in the future.

I was looking for a new dermatologist in the Agoura Hills area. I was referred to Dr. Pakula but she isn’t taking new patients. But her partner, Dr. Abrishami, is. Lucky break, because I’m really happy with him.
His office is conveniently located near the intersection of Kanan and the 101. Very nice office, the building is either new or has just undergone extensive remodeling. The ladies at the reception desk were pleasant and the surroundings relaxing.
I was shown into the exam room and was greeted by a very nice gal named Veronica. I immediately felt comfortable speaking with her. Once she got all the mandatory questions out of the way and excused herself, the doctor came in almost immediately. No waiting!
Dr. Abrishami is cool. He really seems to know his stuff and seems confident in his knowledge. I’m overweight and was nervous about the skin check (bra and panties only!) but he gave no indication that it was a problem for him. He’s a doctor, he’s probably seen it all!
He looked at my areas of concern, eased my mind where appropriate and pointed out one area that needs further attention. I feel confident he knows his stuff.
Ladies, here’s what you need to know if you get a skin check: 1. wear matching underwear. 2. shave (he looks under your arms and on your legs). 3. pedicure (he looks at your feet and between your toes). I was unprepared, I hope my self-​deprecating sense of humor distracted him from my disarray! LOL
In all seriousness, because skin issues are serious, I recommend getting yearly skin checks and I recommend seeing Dr. Abrishami.
