Sarvenaz Mobasser, MD, DABFM, QME

If you live in the sun, and in Los Angeles, or spend the sunny days that I do either gardening or in Palm Springs or on Kauai, a great dermatologist is crucial. I am covered in moles, freckles, sun damage, and my mom is a melanoma survivor, but my dear dad died of cancer. So when I came upon Dr. Mobasser, I was nervous and a bit worried. She was wonderful! Her office is in a kind of questionable hood, I knocked a star off cuz the parking is a struggle: but her office is clean, well organized and has a great friendly efficient staff. I hardly waited at all, and when I saw Dr. Mobasser, I was very relieved. She took her time, never made me feel rushed, did a complete and thorough excellent exam of all my bumps and spots. Looked places I didnt even think of! I left feeling much more in control of my skin health, and I will be back to see her in 6 weeks. I can’t say anything about the other services she offers there, such as esthetics and beauty treatments, but as for being a skilled, caring and excellent MD who knows her skin stuff, I am totally so pleased I found her. I am now her patient, and recommend her to anyone looking for a great dermo. Thanks, Dr. Mobasser!

Walking the streets of downtown LA can be a bit of a freak show sometimes. You know downtown: where you find random children doing cartwheels, adults swallowing lizards, and others breathing fire. (Though I suspect that was just bad breath mixing with the smog.) In the midst of all the craziness, it’s nice to be able to walk into a friendly and accommodating doctor in a very clean office. They even play soothing music as you enter to put you in a relaxing mood.
The biggest reason I like going here is that Dr. Mobasser is knowledgeable and friendly. She has an easy-​going personality and she is easy to talk with. In an era, where some doctors can’t wait to push you out the door before you can finish a sentence, she actually listens. Also, I can ask her about new tests, technologies and nutrition because she doesn’t automatically shun everything that’s new. (An issue I have had with other doctors I have seen before.)

And if you are one of her regular patients, she does her best to accommodate. A couple of months ago, I was concerned that I may have a hairline fracture in my shin bone, she did her best to squeeze me in as it was urgent. Subsequent X-​rays showed that it was a deep bone bruise. The fact that I was able to see her quickly to get that X-​ray prescription and alleviate that concern of a broken leg made me glad she has a clinic close by. The main medical assistant Mary is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

The clinic is small, but they’re expanding. I have had pretty good luck finding meter parking but the clinic does offer parking at a lot close by. They’re good about using technology properly. You do receive an email notification the day before your appointment and a post visit email notification as well. It’s nice to have a friendly and caring doctor close by in downtown LA.

Dr. Mobasser is a compassionate, thoughtful physician with a caring bedside manner. She is also an excellent diagnostician. I’ve been seeing Dr. Mobasser for a while, and I’m extremely happy with both her and her office staff. I couldn’t ask for a more organized, friendly and detailed oriented office. I highly recommend her.

My previous doctor was always in a rush to get me in and out of the office, which was frustrating especially since I drove an hour to get to her.
So, I decided to visit Dr. Mobasser and she is really great! She listens, asks a lot of questions, and genuinely cares about your concerns. She also works out perfect for me since she is a Dermatologist and a general physician too.
Highly recommend her! :)

Dr. Mobasser really cares about each patient and goes beyond the duties of a physician. I went to see her for a physical and TB test and she was very thorough in making sure my health conditions were addressed and also advised a specific TB test by blood to avoid having to make a return trip as well as prevent false positives leading to a retest by chest x-​ray. From this experience, I draw the conclusion that she is very knowledgeable and experienced in her practice and I will continue to see her as my primary care physician.

I am very happy with this Dr. Mobasser and her staff. Dr. Mobasser is very professional and very intelligent She was able to answer all my question and concerns I had about my health. I had my physical exam done and it went great she also was able to help me with my skin problem I had. Thank you doctor.
As for her staff they always welcome you with a smile and there are very professional. They are super friendly. I love the way the office is well organized and well managed. Dr. Mobasser and she staff creates a GREAT ENVIRONMENT. This is the best office I have ever been too.
It was very nice to see Mary to is always very helpful and super friendly. She always goes on and beyond for me she is very caring. She is a great blood drawer and I don’t ever feel when she gave me my vaccine today. She is a great awesome M.A. Thanks I will be back for my results in two weeks!! The office is also very clean. And they offer FREE PARKING. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. MOBASSER AND STAFF. GREAT TEAM!!!

I will be brief. Dr. M is great. She seems to sincerely care, and she answers all your questions. The bad part is the her office is poorly managed. The last two times I’ve been there, I arrived ahead of my appointment time, and both times I was seen 35 – 50 mins after my appointment time. I believe they overbook their schedule. Furthermore, there are always signs of an unprofessional and unorganized office: no sign-​in sheet, nurse’s cell phone ringing very loudly (and her answering it), etc… TIP: I asked and they see people based on their appointment time, so if you decide to go to this unprofessional place, then show up just slightly after your appointment time. All in all, awesome Doctor, crappy office.

I came to my appointment today. I have to said No wait time. I was in and out. I been coming here for a while now. the staff is much super friendly and helpful. no complaint. Dr. Mobasser is very professional and very knowledgeable she help me with my problem that I was having for many years and now is almost gone… Thank you Dr. M for taking your time with me for once I didn’t feel rush through by a doctor.
The office was also very nice and clean. not like other I been to in downtown Los Angeles. I also love the fact that they have free parking for patients at a church. It was hard to find at first but is very safe.
I am looking forward to continue my care here because I am very happy with the staff and with Dr. Mobasser.
I forgot to mention that in top of my health problem I ended up getting botox too I love it! which next time I am going to get my lips and bags under my eyes done.
Dr. Mobasser is a very great doctor!!!

Dr. Mobasser is amazing!!! I previously had done fillers at another practice in the same area and that physician did a horrible job on my fillers. I saw Dr. Mobasser and not only did she correct the mistake the other physician made but made my lip fillers look amazing. I am so happy and totally love my fillers. Highly recommend Dr. Mobasser not only for cosmetic needs but Medical as well. Prior to my cosmetic visit, I was treated for a medical condition and by far she met my medical needs. Some physicians just don’t listen and she went above and beyond. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Mobasser. By far, the best physician ever. Again, rare to find good doctors and I will definitely continue my medical care with Dr. Mobasser.

Finally, NO long waits and unorganized settings. I am a women of Few words, therefore have no perfect words to describe Dr. Mobasser’s reputable patient care. Hands down no questions asked…
A+ all around. Dr. Mobasser and her staff excellences with many innovative applications like PatientFusion. That help you monitor health forms, appointments and more…
She is an Angel sent from Heaven… I am truly appreciated with our providers time, effort and passion… Keep it up, nothing goes unnoticed. Thank you Angeles Medical Clinic…

I am so happy Dr. Mobasser is open today I am able to have my last physical exam that I need for work in 2015. Dr. M is always thinking about her patients even on holidays. Thats why I love her and her staff. She is the only doctor in downtown that cares for her patients.
Thank you Dr. Mobasser for taking care of me this whole year around. And hope to continue with you many years more. Your the best Dr. In downtown los angeles.

Came to see Dr. Mobasser for a check up
Who is a very young and experienced Doctor.
She goes above and beyond for all her patients and takes time to attend to each their needs. She made me feel very comfortable and made sure I got the care I needed and answered all of my questions and concerns without hesitation. Unlike many doctors I could tell Dr. Mobasser takes pride in her work and loves caring for others. I found her staff to be held to the same standard as Dr. Mobasser especially Maria who was very attentive and always asks how I’m doing, she goes the extra mile to build a rapport with everyone she meets & even calls me to ask how I’m feeling and how the medicine which was prescribed to me is working out. Overall I’m glad to have been cared for by Dr. Mobasser & Maria.

Came to see Dr. M again after being away for a long time. She’s always very attentive and listens to all my needs. Even though I came in for Botox Tx, she was kind enough to address other issues I was having.
I was in and out with in 30 mins! The staff is always pleasant and attentive. I was happily surprised to see Mary, Dr. M’s MA is back! She was greatly missed!
One thing I really appreciate is that they were able to accommodate my appointment first thing in the AM since I live in SF!
Thank you everyone for taking good care of me! I love going to see my dr, it feels like I am seeing my family.

Clinic by itself is very clean. Alexis (front desk person) is friendly and professional. Mary (nurse) very pleasant person.
The process is very easy. They know what they doing, very organized. Despite they were very busy that day, the waiting time was still minimal.
Dr. Mobasser is very nice person, first of all. She made me feel comfortable during our conversation. She is a good listener, which is very important for doctor. Highly recommend!

I came in today again to see my doctor can’t complained i love them so much!!! I never have a problem everything is we’ll taking care off thanks girls u are so great with me. Dr mobasser and sunny moon are so awesome answer all my question clear for me to understand.
Front office is great making my appointments around my busy work schedule.
Billing office always explain my insurance carefully and if there is a problem they will fix it right away because of them I now understand my insurance coverage very clear. Which my insurance agent didn’t even explain to me thanks virgie.
Back office very great they always so friendly and are pros at drawing blood and given shots and lots more love u guys.
Thank you so so much!!! I will informed my family and friends about my clinic

I also made an appointment with this doctor and was seen by a different doctor. What a nightmare.
I was given misleading information about my bill («you won’t have to pay a thing!», which my later bill from their own office assured me was not true). My confidential information was discussed in the hallway within easy ear-​shot of other patients. The doors aren’t close to sound proof, and I heard other patient names, information, and medications being discussed in the same hallway.
Several times I had the feeling that this office is running a scam. The doctor I saw tried TWICE to schedule me for different appointments to get the service I wanted during that appointment.
When I thought the whole affair was finally over, I found out the Dr. only wrote me a prescription for ONE PILL (presumably, to try to get me in for another billable appointment). That took about two weeks to resolve. Every time I called the office to fix the problem, I was put on hold and picked up by a different member of the office who started talking to me like I was a doctor! Just to put icing on the cake, they later called me to give me information from a blood test and started reading off another patient’s chart! They tried to get me to come in again saying the appointment was «inconclusive.»
Edit: Weeks later I received yet another bill, this time for the actual lab work (which, again, I had been assured I wouldn’t need to pay for). Also, the office found my contact number and called me twice about this review.

Dr. Mobasser is probably one of my favorite dermatology doctors. She is very helpful and informative.
Mary her assistant is my go to girl. She gets things done asap! Thank you Mary for all your help!
Jessica, she works in referrals. I just want to say thank you for getting my referrals processed in a timely manner. So helpful!

The thing I find semi-​misleading is the fact they they have their ZocDoc up to make an appointment with Dr. Mobasser… but I haven’t seen her ONCE in the past 4 – 5 times I’ve gone. I only found out recently that she’s only there 3 days a week, and that there are other doctors at this practice that seem to take over during that time… but why not put that on ZocDoc?
I got a message to reevaluate their business, but honestly, if there were any changes I didn’t see any. Still SO SLOOOOW. Still takes almost an hour after my appointment time to actually get in. The receptionist still feels like they don’t know what they’re doing. I’ve also had problems with billing as others have on this review site.
The only thing that really redeems it is the fact that Sarah really did help my acne. I had horrible acne, and she really did end up helping me.
I’m not sure I mentioned this in my previous review, but I had been told by Dr. Mobasser I should definitely do the ViPeel and that it would drastically help me. I was given very little detailed instruction afterwards, and I’m sure could have done things that would have made the peel more efficient. But at the time I had pretty bad acne, and Sarah mentioned months after (when she suggested it to me and I said I had already done it) that I should have never have had it done when my acne was that bad. That it really should’ve been done after it had calmed down. And that peel was expensive.
I’ll still go here mostly because I have prescriptions here and it’s just easier, but if my skin changes I’d probably go to a different place.
I feel like there’s wisps of trying to make this place more organize and more efficient, but the execution is faltering a bit.

I’ve been going to Dr. Mobasser for about a year and a half. She is great as a person but was unable to treat my rosacea, despite trying out multiple very expensive medications. I realize that this is sometimes difficult to treat but the last time I went in she put a new topical cream on my face that left me dealing with a chemical burn for about a week. No warning that something like this might happen.
Expect to wait awhile even if you arrive early and getting your refills will likely be a frustrating battle with reception. I also got blood work done there once and was called the next day to come back and do it again?

She is amazing!
Kind and thorough. She really cares.
I adore her and the office staff is lovely as well.
