Arta Farshidi, MD

Looking for an actual legitimate OC Dermatologist who won’t try to sell you botox or restalyne or any variety of surgeries or products the moment you walk in the office door? Look no further. Dr. Farshidi is a gem. The medical area I least take care of is my skin, mainly because living in Southern California means dealing with plastic surgeons holding themselves out as dermatologists, and they are vicious slicing frenzied troglodytes who all to often make you feel bad about yourself. (I once went to a «Dermatologist» in LA who insisted I confirm whether I was pregnant or not, because he needed to know how much time to spend with me soliciting his surgical processes. That ass-​hat was ready to start cutting me up that day. He even asked me if I could go take a test– pee on a stick. For the record I was not preggers, but I was advised to say I might be, to root out the scapel jockeys. Worked taht tiem, but it was so stressful.)
But not Dr. Farshidi. She’s friendly and efficient and so easy to talk to. I booked an appointment worried about a mole. She instantly diagnosed, said it was not a mole or dangerous, and removed it at my request. Then she asked me about sunscreen. I am insanely fair skinned, so we discussed it and she made a recommendation. I initiated a discussion about lip wrinkles, she insisted I needed no work and we were done.
If you have legitimate skin issues, or need a great Dermatologist– I highly recommend Dr. Farshidi.

Dr. Farshidi was very nice, very professional, told it like it was, and gave honest advice. She took care of business and I didn’t feel a thing. It was a very pleasant visit. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Best Dermatologist I have ever had, kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the patient. The office is clean and relaxing with extremely friendly staff. I love coming here

I will start off by saying I am an office manager for a medical practice, I have high expectations and am hard to impress. Everything about Dr. Farshidi’s office impresses me– from the friendly and welcoming staff, beautiful clean office to Dr. Farshidi herself. She is very knowledagble, professional and charmingly friendly. She really spends her time with you and does not make you feel like you are being rushed.

Outstanding physician. Would recommend Dr. Farshidi to anyone in need of a dermatologist.

Love this Dr! I bring my 14 year old son in for his breakouts and Dr. Farshidy has been great in relating to him. Since his breakouts bother me more than they bother him, as you can imagine, he is never too excited to visit her, and he is not the best communicator. She is always cheerful and able to engage him, so I’m very impressed with her bedside manner. She has my son on a very easy regiment to help clear his skin, which he follows religiously (sort of), and gave him a light peel to open things up a bit. Her staff is friendly and professional, and the office is über clean. I highly recommend Dr. Farshidy.

This review is a long time over due, months over due as a few months ago I told Dr. Arta and her staff that they were the best in my eyes. In fact I felt compelled to show Dr. Arta and her staff to others. so I asked if I could take a picture her (she looks like Gina Bellman on the show Leverage to me) Ill post it if I can. Totally professional for todays world. That is what she is, professional. On my first visit I was a bit anxious, I had a spot or two on my face and arm that didn’t look like it did before, in fact, one of them wasn’t there before. I had been putting it off to thinking it was age or liver spots, but after finding out my mother, my aunt whom after ignoring a spot of her chest, that went into her breast, and died of cancer; all from one spot just above bathing suit top. NOT happening to me if I can help it! and there is a good chance it could be a bad spot because; my close relatives propensity to get shin cancer. Plus, my left arm has always been in the sun, I drive allot, and the sun is constantly on my left arm. So with all that spinning in my head, when I met and was examined by the Doctor, she made me feel safe. She examined me, treated several spots painlessly, well, if a very little sting for a few minutes bothers you, subtract that… She spotted a suspicious mole on my stomach that I didn’t see. She removed it, that too was painless, and sent it out for biopsy. I left her office feeling assured that I had a caring doctor that took the time to get to know me and treated me as if I were her only patient… Don’t get me wrong, she isn’t slow, I rarely have to wait (if I do I don’t mind because she is giving someone else as much of her profession attention as she does me). Less than a week later I received a call from Dr. Farshidi’s office, the spot She discovered was positive for cancer; within one week Dr. Arta surgically removed the suspicious area. She was amazingly gentle, skillful and painless. The procedure was performed if the facilities spotless treatment/​procedure room. The propensity to get skin cancer is apparent for me, so I am grateful to have Dr. Arta looking after me.
A rare talent? Dr. Arta Farshidi is… 5 Stars!

Despite i gave all the details of my Anthem BlueCross insurance over the phone, they were unable to confirm if I was covered and wanted me to go to the appointment, and find out about my coverage only then!!!
Are you serious?
Waste of time.

I typically do not like writing reviews but wanted to do so after visiting Dr Farshidi’s office. She was the first dermatologist I ever met and I hope I never have to look for another one. She is an excellent, knowledgeable and caring doctor who actually listens to you. Not only she takes care of your skin but improves your mental well-​being, too. Thank you very much Dr A!

Dr. Farshidi is one of the nicest doctors I’ve ever visited. She devoted a good deal of time to my daughter and addressed her acne problem. I would highly recommend her to everyone.

Very clean, friendly staff, long wait in waiting room but I noticed the wait is because Dr. Farshidi doesn’t ignore your needs. She listens and wants to help you as best as she can and takes her time helping answer questions or concerns.
Dr. Farshidi is very caring, friendly and knowledgeable.

Dr. Farshidi and office staff are very kind and knowledgable. The office is bright and filled with light, and staff is friendly and communicative. I had an issue wth billing and the staff was friendly and accomodating. I would strongly reccomend visiting their office.
