LDI Laser Yelp Reviews

I came to LDI in West Covina in June 12, 2015 with severe adult acne, brown spots and acne scars. The transformation of my skin is unbelievable after 5 treatments. Being a fair skin African American numerous dermatologist would not recommend any type of laser. I am very thankful for Dr. Rispler’s expertise with multiple laser treatments and African American skin. The price is minimal in comparison to the amount of money that I spent in the past on creams, lotions and useless other microdermabrasions, peels, etc. The only regret that I have is not take a before picture without makeup to post for everyone to see the best results ever. I can now go out of the house with no makeup and get compliments on my skin from family, friends and co-workers. Thank you Dr. Rispler and your team of awesome nurses.Rosemary E.

I read so many bad comments but I had a great experience there. The receptionists were so nice and personable, the nurses were friendly and had great bedside manner. The sales guy was very nice and understood my needs and was not pushy at all. Most of all, I think I understand how a lay person would misinterpret Dr. Rispler but he is very intelligent and really knows what he is talking about and I did a lot of research on him before going in. He has contributed so much to the laser world and publishings, which is why I chose to go even though I read some negative comments. Google him I found a wealth of information he has contributed. My results were fantastic and I have referred many to him in the last few weeks after seeing results. For wrinkles and skin tightening, they are the best. I have had subpar work done elsewhere so I have something to compare to. Highly recommended!Laura B.

I came in to Dr. Rispler’s office for my adult acne that I suffer from, The staff was very friendly made me feel welcome as well as Dr. Rispler. I have been looking for a long time for a dermatologist that I can trust to help me. I have tried every product possible and nothing seem to work, I was ready to give up and just face that this acne is not going away. Since starting my treatments With LDI I have seen major improvement in my skin. I am no longer breaking out and my acne scars are less visible. Not only am I happy with the outcome of my treatments but I have gain the confidence to walk around without makeup and not feel embarrassed. I am one happy acne free patient.Leah L.

I heard about Laser and Dermatology on KIIS FM so I decided to go in for my free consultation. I had been thinking of getting tattoo removal quite sometime just couldn’t afford the prices I was getting quoted in the orange county area. Anyway so the consultation was in Covina and let me start off by saying it was very worth my time. I went in and had my tattoo looked and spoke with Dr. Rispler he told me how many sessions I needed and advised me as well that It would not be painful and of course I did mention the cost which wasn’t a problem Dr. Rispler had payment options for me so it wasn’t like I had to pay in full so that was a big yes to me. I left the consultation ready to go back and begin treatment. First day of treatment I was super nervous all I could think about how painful It would be, the nurse started me up with numbing cream and I waited for about 45min to let the numbing kick in. Let me say Dr. Rispler made my first laser session easy and fast it was not painful as I assumed it would of been the numbing cream helped me bunches. My first session went well I’d say 70% of my tattoo was removed which I was so happy and eager to go back knowing that my next session would be even better! I’m on my 4th session and it is my last and my tattoo is completely gone. I am so happy with the results of LDI and the staff there they made is so easy and comforting plus affordable for me as well. I’m definitely going back to have acne treatment as well. Dr. Rispler and his staff at Covina are amazing and made me one happy patient.Andrea L.

Went in today for a free consultation at the Covina location, got quoted and started the treatment for my acne and acne scarring the same day. So far i do not have any complaints. The staff were very friendly and the nurse explained everything in great detail. Dr. Rispler came in and evaluated my face for the treatment that needed to be done for today, I did not find him rude at all. I like how the office gives out samples of the medications, topical creams and face washes instead of purchasing the full size and finding out later it did not react as well with your skin condition. Lastly, The laser and shots are not painful at all.. very tolerable, i am looking forward to my next appointment and great results. Thank you L.D.IChristina H.

I started seeing Dr. Rispler a year ago and at first, never believed in his surgery-free approach, but he definitely beat my expectations. He and his staff were very professional, and always listened to my questions. Dr. Rispler planned out the most specific treatment plans, which treat my unique skin type, tone, and color. I am approaching my 50s, so those wrinkles are coming. Thankfully, I now have a dermatologist I can call for treatments without surgery.Hailey M.

I have been seeing Dr. Rispler for over a year and every day I see better looking skin. The age spots were gone and so were the wrinkles. He kept on talking about how awesome his laser tech was and why it was a better alternative to surgery. I thought he was just BSing, but he shut me up with the results. I only have him to thank for the amazing skin I have today. Great work doctor! That’s the last time I’m going to doubt you.Anthony M.

I never had a problem with Dr. Rispler. He knows exactly what to do, and doesn’t need surgery to do it! My time and money are not wasted with him, especially since I can get scheduled in without having to wait. He was a wonderful, experienced team that is very welcoming. He never prescribes any medicine and doesn’t try to make a sale. The staff consistently kept a check on my comfort and made sure I had everything I need. The parking wasn’t too bad and the whole area was very accessible. I never had any hassles getting there. I have seen Dr. Rispler for four years and am happy with all the improvements my skin has seen.Carie G.

I came in for a free consultation for my wrist tattoo I was trying to remove. I had been looking around at various tattoo removal options and searched the internet for hours to find the right place for me and settled on a place in Irvine named Laser and Dermatology Institute. Let me start by saying that absolutely love this place! The staff is super friendly and they make you feel welcomed. Dr. Rispler is one of the best dermatologist I’ve ever met he listens and is very kind to you. My experience with this office has been nothing but pleasant. =) My tattoo is relatively small. I’ve had 3 treatments so far and my tattoo is almost completely gone I couldn’t be happier with my results and I recommend LDI to anyone looking for a tattoo removal place like I was. I’m just so thrilled about my experience with LDI and wanted to share my tattoo removal journey with all of you! 🙂 thanks for taking the time to read my review!Wendy L.

I’m getting my first acne treatment at here at the LDI office… At first I was super nervous about getting laser treatments but then the doctor came in and made me feel super comfortable and welcomed! He is super nice! I can’t wait to see my results after one treatment and I’m coming back in 2 week for my check up! =) wish me luck! =)Dessi L.

I too have been here for treatments. Excellent treatments and customer service. I paid only $3,000 for my entire package so I don’t know what people are talking about. Maybe they just had really really super bad skin. I am totally clear of my zits and I will be going back for some more laser treatments. I checked out their skin resurfacing lasers online and decided that the lasers they have are less painful and looks like it achieves much better results so I will going back for those to clear some scarring. I did 3 laser treatments and some topical ointments. I got clear literally in 2 weeks. Lucky for me I got it fast before I got too many scars. I found out that Asian skin scars really bad, but the good news is that Dr. Rispler told me that Asian people are less likely to get skin cancer. I feel great and my skin has never looked better. I chose LDI because no one else had all the advanced medicine and lasers. I needed real professional help from a dermatologist. Also, the price is right. The other consultations I went to did the same thing. Most places talked to me about pricing upfront to see if it was something I could afford because you have to fork the bill. My parents have great insurance and even they said that zits aren’t covered by them…in their words “acne is not a deadly disease.” Ummm…yeah, then why does it make you so sad and depressed. Don’t get me started on that. I also went to other dermatology offices that don’t tell you how much anything costs and tell you that it will be an ongoing process which means a ton of doctor visits. Who’s got time for that? DO THE MATH. Well, I rather know how much this whole thing is gonna cost and that the Doctor visits are all included. Plus those simple type of dermatologists didn’t have any lasers. Lasers are good and I got quick results. I have read online that other meds take up to a year to work. No thanks…I got school soon and I need to look good.Kevin T..

Let me tell you that these guys are amazing. They did an excellent job on some fine lines and wrinkles for my wife and I. My entire family will only trust such a true professional medical staff such as the Laser & Dermatology Institute. My wife has been using home remedies and medical spa lasers for years and even she wanted to get that new at home laser for wrinkles. Thank goodness that we never bought that contraption. I just saw a medical report on it that says that it does not work. My wife and I are extremely happy and glad that we sought laser from a medical office especially from a dermatologist. I’ll tell you and my wife can’t say enough that laser treatments from a dermatologist is extremely different from the ones that my wife has done before. Completely different. She confesses that these lasers met her expectations of what she thought laser should do. It was definitely well worth the money and time.Michael K.

Very good! I saved my money to get re-treated for bad laser done to me 2 years ago. In pending lawsuit. but that is another story. I heard of Dr. Rispler, seeing patients who go to him for this, and no wonder why people are complaining about price. He does it right the first time around! Don’t get stuck like me, I have been doing endless treatments because of another Dr.’s mistakes. I payed deeply for that. The other practice, kept telling me “one more, just one more, just one more time,” When it NEVER WORKED! Dr. Rispler is truley what he says he is, WITHIN 3 TREATMENTS, I felt like I was back to normal again. I can’t wait for 3 more, because I know I will be better, I will update this after my 6th treatment. Don’t think that they are bad for people’s comments about price, obviously if you don’t have the money then don’t do laser to begin with, you will go in an endless cycle of treating, and retreating, like I had to endure. Get it right the first time, and get it from an actual dermatologist. THat is my advice, and I strongly recommend that you don’t opt for cheap laser if you don’t have any money! You will regret it for sure!”Haviana G.

Honestly, I usually don’t write reviews, but this time, I have to tell everyone about my personal experience at Laser Dermatology Institute. You know first thing is, I read all the reviews before my initial appointment. However, with reason, I could distinguish which ones were actually true and which ones were false. I noticed that they receive a lot of attention, so I knew that they would be the best candidate. My condition: I have many sun spots, acne scars, combination skin, hormonal acne, and a never ending cycle, that only leaves my skin clear for a few days. I knew I couldn’t live like this anymore, and that is why I opted to go for laser treatments. I am not a vain person, I like to think I am quite humble in fact. Anyhow, when I first went in, I was afraid to meet the guy that everyone talks about. I actually met the staff, and when I did, I was really bewildered, because what I had thought, was totally not what I experienced. I was treated with respect and concern, and the treatments were not cheap, so I said I will be back and decided to continue shopping. I went to a couple of other places, which, I won’t even mention their names, but they ended up being the same price! And when I tried walking out the door, they immediatley offered me 50% discount. I hated that fact. I knew something wasn’t right, so I walked out anyway. For the same price, and the reputation, I went to obviously the place with the most experience. I went to Dr. Rispler, at LASERHQ. I couldn’t be happier with my decision, because based on the reviews, I would’ve never thought, that my experience would actually be this different from what others are claiming. Even after my first laser treatment, I noticed significant improvement. It was perfectly done, and the Dr. was extremely skilled, he just knew 100% what he was doing without a doubt. And when it comes to the face, that is really the way it should be done. 8 days ago, was my very last treatment. For the very first time, I went out to my dry cleaners and local grocery store, without absolutley no makeup whatsoever. When I was in the bread section, a lady came up to me, and she said, your skin is amazing, what cream do you use? I was stunned, and I took the compliment in a humble manner, but of course, I gave all the credit to LASERHQ. She said ran to the front clerk, and asked for a pen, ran all the way back to me, and made sure she wrote it all down. I just cannot believe somebody made the effort to write down the information, at the grocery store! I was so happy, I kept looking at my reflection in any window, even the milk carton window! And I just want to shout “I AM FREE!!” And I have beautiful skin! Finally! I would do this over and over again, and would only choose LASERHQ to do the job. I hope everyone reads my story, and believes that there is a way to get beautiful skin. There is actually a solution out there. You just have to be in the best of hands, otherwise, you are asking for trouble! I hope I can inspire all you out here, who don’t know what to do, and where to go to… Please, do what I did. You will not believe and regret your decision. Because the most important factor, is the outcome of your skin, and to even be told by peers, you do in fact have beautiful skin. Much Love xoxoxoxoxoxo Betty. “don’t hate me cause I’m beautiful…. Now.”Betty D.

WAIT! YOU HAVE TO READ THIS TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY If you are reading these reviews, then you are like me. I wanted to make sure that this company was good before I went in for their free consultation. LET ME SAVE YOU THE TIME AND MONEY. At their consultation, I didn’t like their pricing and thought that they were ripping me off. Let me tell you what is really a rip off; getting services that don’t work. I was like you shopping around and I bought services from 2 different places: one place claimed to be a dermatologist and another was a MEDSPA. I wasted a ton of money on those places to find that there is a major difference between laser treatments and lasers. The real waste of time and money was committing to 6 months of time and 8 laser treatments from a company that pretends to have comparable laser. Oh yes, the other places were really nice people until your last treatments they can’t wait to kick you out the door. I know the treatments were sub par now because my acne scars were not reduced or improved at all. Who cares about great customer service when you still have acne scars. I would rather have results. I came back to these people to get it done from them and yes my acne scars improved with only 4 treatments. You will see for yourself when you go to the other places. Let me warn you that other places are using their name to sell you sub grade services and lasers at even a cheaper price and that is what you are getting; a cheaper laser treatment. If you ask me, I can see for myself that a few negative reviews were written by those other places to fool you and me. By the way, I was not the only one that went here to fix what the other places screwed up. During my visits, I have heard of several people coming from other places complaining about their services from even the places that I have visited. I am not an unusual case. Those other places are just scam. Look, do you go to a DENTIST to FIX YOUR EYES? Then why would you go to anybody else besides a dermatologist to fix your skin? It just makes sense right? For me NOW it does. I didn’t think before and I was screwed. So don’t get screwed. And if you want laser treatments, you have to go to a place that specializes with lasers. Honestly, the treatments are not that cheap. If you can’t afford it right now, then don’t go to the free consultation. Even if you want to finance the treatments, you have to know that it is really what you want and ready to make payments every month to pay off your treatments. My credit is good and so I did the financing and I am finally happy with my treatments. So really do your research about these companies. You will see what I am talking about. Good Luck!Alicia S.

I have been treated by Doctor Rispler a fews ago when I was a firefighter in San Gabriel Valley. I was burned on the job and he treated my burns very well. I can’t thank him enough for a full recovery and looks like it never happend. I was glad to hear that he had openened an office in Irvine and coincidentally my daughter needed acne treatment. We responded to an online ad for acne treatment and to my happy surprise, he is the Doctor that is famously treating acne and acne scars. Definitely serendipitous and I couldn’t have been happier. I thought for sure that it probably wasn’t the same Doctor from Covina, but it was and of course I signed my daughter right up. As expected, he did a great job for my daughter’s face. I asked him if the acne treatment was really permanent. He said in most cases it is, but my daughter will have hormonal issues that may try to flare up some acne here and there, but not to worry it will get better. Terrific Doctor and the office staff is remarkable. I would highly recommend the Laser and Dermatology Institute to any person out there. The Doctor is extremely good at treating skin problems. The nurses were extremely great people. Mind you that this office runs like a real medical office, they are sharp people and always alert. My daughter was very comfortable because the entire staff was always on their toes and was always on cue. Definitely there was no confusion in this office whatsoever. Confusion in a medical office would say to me something very bad is going on. But Doctor Rispler is a very good captain of this well run ship. Thanks.Geoff K.

I have been going to Dr. Rispler at LDI since 2006. I loved my results so I just came back for a refresher treatment and was amazed at the new technology and how far it’s come. I got rid of tiny fine lines around my eyes….my skin is tighter and smoother especially my jawline and neck. I am thrilled with the results. The staff is kind and helpful. Check it out…you don’t have to have surgery or fillers to look your best. Dr. Rispler is always on the cutting edge of what’s happening in skin rejuvenation. He always takes time to explain the procedure and it’s benefits. Love the staff at the Covina location…..I will keep coming back.Karen S.

I’ve never written a review before, but Dr. Rispler is truly unbelievable. I’m a father of 3 girls, and he literally changed the lives of my 2 oldest daughters. I feel indebted to him more than anyone else outside our family. My daughters had acne so bad that it hurt me every minute of the day to think they had to walk around high school with their faces covered in sores. My wife and I were assertive and tried every over-the-counter medication possible, and then, went to 4 different dermatologist for help…and ended up with prescriptions that did nothing… I mean nothing. Out of despiration, my wife heard a radio ad and took my oldest daughter to Dr. Rispler without telling me. I’m an attorney, and when I found out I was livid, thinking some Dr. was taking advantage of our heartache by making false claims and charging us a lot of money (my wife pre-paid for 8 laser treatments). I told my wife to take photos and keep notes of the progress, or lack thereof, because I would be using this evidence in my lawsuit against him for false advertising. Well, Dr. Rispler’s treatments worked like miracle beams taking away the sores, redness, and inflammation. Within a couple of months, her life…our lives changed. She went from walking around campus with her head down, hidden behind her hair, to a vivacious confident girl with bangs. She excelled from that moment on. Of course, we sent my 2nd daughter to Dr. Rispler and he did it again. Outside of love, this was the best gift we could have given our daughters. Thank you so much Dr. Rispler.Craig F.

I found out about LDI and Dr. Rispler through a spot on the radio. I had some problems with acne that I felt I needed to deal with, so I made up my mind to come in and have a closer look. I loved what I saw, the people there were great and the doctor was too. He’s got some great experience, I believe he’s been practicing since the 1970’s. I guarantee you’ll be amazed at the things that he can do. I had such amazing results that my family and friends have also come in to have some work done as well. Can’t say anything bad about LDI, the whole time I was just great and enjoyed the experience greatly. The staff was very kind and treated me in a very professional manner. They helped me get rid of some very bad acne and scars and for that I will always give thanks to this great team. I recommend completely, they helped me improve my face and I’m sure they can do the same for others. I bet that they can do some pretty amazing things with these lasers. Definitely worth checking out.Tim L.

I had contacted LASER & DERMATOLOGY INSTITUTE during the Summer concerning treatment for my teenager for an extremely tough and persistent acne condition that has lasted for over 4 years now. The results have been nothing less than outstanding! Dr. Rispler has been very considerate and detailed in explaining the most advanced and most innovative options available in route to achieving the best outcome possible, and the results have shown it. I am very thankful to the nursing staff and office personnel as they have always been very kind and professional. There are still a few sessions of treatment to go, but I confide and have complete trust in the doctor’s medical training and over 30 years of expertise in the field of Dermatology, and the ability of his staff. From a grateful parent, thankyou Dr. Rispler!Brett R.
