I have been coming to Dr Ablon over 15 years and love it! The office staff is so warm and friendly and they treat you like family. I have had a couple medical appointments with Dr Ablon but spend most of my time with Shelley doing aesthetic treatments such as photo facials and laser hair removal. I have had great results for each treatment which is why I keep coming back for more. I continue to come back for routine maintenance and even for additional things to laser because why not! I love coming here and the location is so convenient. I highly recommend the office. 🙏

Dr Ablon and her staff are simply amazing. Dr is extremely thorough with her exams and always has the most innovative suggestions for improving our appearance without spending a fortune. Here’s something more important . My husband had another dermatologist who missed some very important pre cancerous cells near my husband’s eye . I asked him to visit dr Ablon with me and had her examine him. She found the problem and immediately surgically removed what could have become extremely dangerous if not removed. We are very grateful . Now we both look gorgeous!

Dr. Ablom is working on mitigating a facial scar with the use of microneedling. I have had two treatments so far and so incredibly thankful for the amazing results. The scar was very noticeable with a raised stitch line. Very pleased! Dr. Abloom is very knowledgeable and has a great arsenal of methods to improve all my skin issues.

Dr. Ablon is by far the best cosmetic/dermatologist. I cannot say enough good things about her and her highly skilled staff. The consistency, professionalism and kindness from the whole team make every visit a pleasure. Dr. Ablon is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely invested in her patient’s outcome’s. She is very progressive in her field with her advanced services and treatments. Dr. Ablon takes the time to explain recommended treatments, answers every question, and never pushes unnecessary procedures. I have been seeing her for over 20 years and have always trusted her completely. The results of my treatments look natural and refreshed and my skin has never looked better. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Ablon. She is not only incredibly professional, but also deeply knowledgeable and attentive in her care. From the moment I walked in, I felt listened to and genuinely cared for. Dr. Ablon takes the time to explain everything clearly, answers all questions with patience, and makes sure you feel comfortable throughout the entire process.
Her work is truly outstanding—precise, thoughtful, and done with a high level of expertise. You can tell she is passionate about what she does and takes great pride in achieving the best possible results for her patients.
I highly recommend Dr. Ablon to anyone looking for a doctor who combines skill, professionalism, and genuine compassion.

Every time I come into the office I feel like I’m getting VIP treatment. The doctor and nurses are incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and thorough. I have local dermatologists and skin institutes, but I drive over an hour just to be seen by them. I’m almost done with my Sebacia treatment there, so I’ll be sure to come back and post some before and after pics!

Dr. Ablon, nurse Shelly, and the entire team at the Ablon Institute have been wonderful to work with. They've been supportive, kind, and are experts at what they do.
Also, parking is always available, which is not always the case in the greater SoCal area.

Dr. Ablon is a highly skilled and respected physician and, more importantly, a highly caring practitioner. The staff is wonderful and makes the medical office feel like a spa. Unlike a spa, you’re getting a trusted team who regularly conducts scientific research and presents at conferences worldwide. I had 3 IPL photo facials to treat some stubborn melisma and my skin is now glowing. Thanks, Dr. Ablon & Shelly!

Dr. Ablon has been not only someone I have gone to for many years for cosmetic & dermatology procedures- but a true knowledgeable & compassionate expert who is always on top of the latest treatments & technologies. She also knows when to say no- and provides suggestions- not based on anything but what is good for the patient/ client.
Even more so- Her staff is so friendly, helpful & sweet & I love that the whole team works together to do what’s best for their patients!
