horrible horrible horrible...stay away!

by bsalin

this is a terrible practice. when i went to see dr. raskin he did not impress me even though he had been recommended by a friend. not friendly, poor bedside manner. then my poor husband went to see dr. kormelli- he said she was the worse dr he'd ever seen. he had a serious infection on his hand and she barely examined it, cut him off when he spoke, was rude and completely uncaring. go anywhere else but here, even if you have to drive!

Raskin Advanced Derm. Valencia

by pandorozbx

I myseslf do not care for Dr. Raskin, a girlfriend of mine has her own very good yet very personal reasons for discouraging going to him and I have my own personal reason. Bottom line is that it is a nice office the girls behind the cosmetic counter are very nice and helpful and yes pushy and the products such as Skin Medica TNS recovery complex is over priced, great product but in the Doctors office you pay more for convenience I suppose. I went in to them a few times, I went in for the botox party the first time I tried botox and one thing I did not like is that the girls put the shots into your face, not the doctor...also they have a special discounted rate and I felt they did not use as much as other doctors use thereby cutting the costs but also means that you have to come back 2-3 months sooner for more shots. I go to a Doctor now in Valencia who uses an entire 10 units per side = 20 units total and it costs maybe $40. more then Raskins office but it lasts 6 - 7 months for me and only the Doctor himself puts the shots into my face I prefer it that way...no assistants messin with my face...it's still a commodity at this point, LOL... Raskin's office however, is not much of one. Mostly disappointing but if your lookin for a party it wasn't bad for my first botox visit but I dont go there anymore for anything. They do have a good selection of skin care products and laser treatments I will say that much for them and the girls are friendly.

Steer clear

by biddymell

This place only wants your money. It's ridiculous. I went in there with a serious skin problem & the entire time the doctor was trying to push cosmetic services on me. Boosting about their botox parties or some special party they have there. I was beside myself. I not only felt worse about my appearance when I left but I was annoyed by them not caring to fix my problem & only caring on how they could make money off of me. It was rather disheartening. To top it off they charged me more than they first quoted!
