Lenore M Sikorski, MD

Dr Lenore is a real pro. But her office is completely disorganized. They do not respect their patients time. From waiting in the waiting room to the exam room. If you have two or three hours to burn it is not so bad but I need to get in and get out. There are providers on every street corner who do what they do you’d think they would be more customer focused.

ACNE: I have nothing bad to say about Dr. Sikorski. She has totally cured my acne which I have been struggling with since I was in middle school. I am currently 18. I like that she didn’t try to sell me any of her face creams or whatever dermatologists normally try to sell you on their own brand. She prescribed me a face wash, a pill, and two creams one for mornings and one for nights and this has totally cured my acne. It was so bad before that I thought I would have to go on acutane or something intense like that but nope! Personally, I think she is a nice lady and has always been sweet to me.

PLEASE READ! Do yourself a favor and DO NOT come to Dr. Sikorski for anything medical/​skin cancer related. Let me start out by saying that I am only 23 years old — very young to be diagnosed with melanoma and it scared the hell out of me. I have never written a negative Unilocal review and I do not believe in «bashing» anyone but this woman traumatized me and I only write this so that I can save another person from going through what I did under the care of Dr. Sikoroski.
I did not meet her until the day of my surgery and I was extremely nervous. She entered the room rudely as if she was in a huge rush, said «hey kid» and never even introduced herself to me. I work in the medical field and I know that when you enter a room you introduce yourself as the doctor and you identify your patient by their first name — and especially when a surgical procedure is being done you explain the procedure, risks and benefits and ask the patient if they have any questions etc. I was shocked as she did none of this. I wish I would have called her out on this or just walked right out of the office right then because of the pit she put in my stomach. She cut out a large margin where the melanoma was found and was out of the room immediately. I let her know I had questions for her and she seemed so annoyed and told me that her medical assistant Erika would answer them. First of all, I had questions for the doctor to answer not her assistant and secondly, Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and she made me feel like I was being some kind of crazy hypochondriac.
I was really bummed after hearing I had another biopsy that came back positive but I was relieved to find out it was only a basal cell carcinoma and I would only need a minor Moh’s procedure. I should have listened to my gut and went elsewhere but I figured to just get it done with dr. Sikorski because she had already had my records. The procedure was over quickly and I felt a little more at ease this time because she spent a little longer in the room with me… But only to try to talk me into buying an extremely expensive cosmetic scar cream to help with the scarring as it was right on my clavicle. She doesn’t care about anything but cosmetic surgery/​products and the money that comes along with it. I asked for a referral to see an oncologist, per my mothers request because melanoma runs in my family, I have red hair/​fair skin/​blue eyes, and stupidly spent many years using tanning beds — so the odds that I end up with melanoma again are very high. Dr. Sikorski basically refused and fought me tooth and nail and made me feel stupid for even asking. I vowed to never go back there again.
Sadly, I had to see her Dr. Sikorski again because the margins did not come back clear when she had originally excised my first melanoma and I had to go back into get re-​cut into. I brought my mom with me this time because I felt like she would stand up for me as an advocate and get me the referral to see the oncologist if Dr. Sikorski were to refuse again. To both of our surprise she was so resistant to give the referral and said «they’re just gonna tell you your fine» as if she were mocking me… I mean honestly what kind of doctor says that to their patient. Yes, they most likely will just tell me that I am fine. But you know what, I would WAY rather be safe than sorry. She had absolutely so compassion and no bed side manner. She also failed to put me on an antibiotic and my incision and sutures became infected and extremely painful. It was honestly horrible.
Another biopsy they had previously done came back as pre-​melanoma and they told me to call in a couple months to schedule the excision. There was no way in hell I was going to return to that office. They sent me a letter to release themselves of any liability in the case that I did not get it removed and there was a complication in which I would blame them for not getting it removed. I ended up with a new doctor, a REAL plastic surgeon who specializes in skin cancer excision/​reconstruction. His name is Dr. Vincent Hung in Newport Beach and he is the most genuine doctor, so efficient, great bedside manner, does not leave the room until you have all questions answered, makes you feel so comfortable and he really cares. I am so grateful that I ended up with him. He talked to me the entire procedure to keep me distracted and seemed to genuinely care about me and my health. Also he takes pictures of all moles where the biopsies were done, which Dr. Sikorski did not do which was another big issue.
I am sorry for the novel, and again this is not to bash Dr. Sikorski… This is just me simply explaining my experience under her care. She simply does not care about anything medical and as another person stated in their review «if you are not interested in cosmetic surgery than she is not interested in you.

I was recently referred to Dr. Sikorski and had a wonderful experience! She was very upfront and honest about her fees when treating the spider veins on my legs. Please don’t judge her ability as a very skilled and knowledgeable doctor based on the two negative reviews which are listed on Unilocal.Both negative reviews were written about her fees, which by the way, are the responsibility of all consumers to ask upon making an appointment if there are any up front fees. Very few professionals today, especially doctors, can afford to give out «free office consultations,» especially with the new Obamacare laws. I highly recommend Dr. Sikorski, and will refer her to all of my family and friends!

Dr. Sikorski is one of the best things to ever happen to me in my life. And that is not an exaggeration. I’m writing this review for you not for her. And yes she may not be the chattiest, but she’s a doctor not your girlfriend. Whatever issues you have, go see her! You will be in the best of hands!

I started seeing Dr. Sikorski in 2014 for Psoriasis. She brought on Dr. Ngo who became my primary Derm for Psoriasis. Both Doctors are up to date on procedures and can recommend the latest treatments for cosmetic surgery and Psoriasis medications. I have been receiving botox treatments for over 5 years with my prior Derm for my frown lines. Dr. Sikorski suggested a permanent silicon solution and I’m sooooo happy with it! Also, I’m in the process of completing several CoolSculpting procedures (abdomen, waist, thighs) and the results are simply amazing. This is the best investment I’ve ever made in myself (except for my college education)!!! I highly recommend Dr. Sikorski and her team!

I have been a patient of Dr. Sikorski’s for a few years now. I have had multiple minor procedures done in her office. Her prices are very high compared with other derms in the area however she is very convincing in offering to provide a «natural look» and so I have always felt I was getting something «more» and this justified her inflated prices. However recently I had a more invasive laser procedure and have been beyond disappointed by the complete lack of after care I received. You would think after spending thousand of dollars on a procedure, a phone call the following day might have been warranted to check on my progress. I had a reaction to the laster and called on Saturday (her office is supposed to be open Sat from 10 – 5) only to leave a message with her exchange and did not receive a call back until Monday.
I will not be a returning patient. I find it so completely ridiculous to spend so much time and energy trying to attract business with «beauty weeks» and e-​mails, only to neglect patients when they actually have something done. I guess return business is not a priority.

Horrible experience! I’m so relieved to see multiple negative reviews for this office as I apparently am not the only one that was ripped off. All I wanted was a consult to have my dry skin looked at. During my less than «5 minute» visit I was given free lotion samples. Before I know it I get $ 100 bill mailed to me!!! I was not informed about any fees being charged to me that day, as I was under the impression this was a consultation?! After receiving a discount for the inconvenience they caused me and paying my balance due, I get a phone call the next day stating that they made a mistake and want to collect an ADDITIONAL $ 16 dollars! Sixteen dollars for their mistake… I was shocked. I will never go to this office nor refer or recommend anyone.

I started coming here when my last dermatologist retired, who I LOVED. It would be hard for any office to compete simply because my expectations were so high.
Of course I miss the free glycolic acid peels my last doctor did at all visits, but Natural Image and Dr. Sikorski do a pretty damn good job aside from that.
The vast majority of the staff are professional, kind and knowledgeable. Over the last couple of years, I have had dozens of appointments schedules and have only had one where the wait was beyond my patience level. I was apologized to and given a gift card for my trouble. My usual wait time is less than 10 minutes.
The office has monthly beauty days where treatments are done at a discount, but I never feel pressured to do anything (whether I am there for a cosmetic appointment, acne visit or just a general checkup), unlike some other offices I have tried.
Whether I am seeing a PA or Dr. Sikorski, I don’t feel rushed. I respect their time and try and be as prepared as possible, but have never felt that they are being anything but thorough in my exam and in my treatment even if I have questions.

Dr. Lenore Sikorski is one of the most arrogant and greedy primma donnas in the business.
I’ve lived in the OC for 20 years and have seen and had procedures from many doctors.
But I could not believe the outrageous fees she charged for what was a minimal service. I felt totally exploited and will never return. To be completely fair, she was conservative when it comes to procedures and can provide a natural look, but at a HEFTY PRICE (cash).
Go to good plastic surgeon. My friend drove the extra miles north to Beverly Hills and had superb work by Sharon Osbourne’s surgeon. Google him; you’ll never look «done» and he’s a good guy!

Dr. Sikorski is an angry, unfriendly woman. I’m not sure what her deal is. My interactions with her were all unpleasant. However, she employs good PAs. If you must go there (and I don’t recommend it), make your appointment with a PA and not with the doctor. Also, Ultherapy is a waste of money. Save your money and just go for a proper plastic surgeon, not a cosmetic surgeon, if you want to change something about your appearance.

I have be going to dr sikorski since high school for my acne and on a normal spot I see Terri and she is amazing I love all the staff there super friendly and they always clean my acne up everytime I have breakouts. I also have had all of the chemical peels and have been super happy with the results on all of them! I will never go anywhere else I recommend this office for all dermatology needs my mom has done many laser treatments and has been very satisfied with all of them! Highly recommend!

I made an appointment to come in and discuss treatments for acne and acne scars. It was about an hour wait. I was very emotional as I’m very self-​conscious and really wanted to get Dr. Lenore Sikorski’s professional opinion about a treatment plan. I had some questions and wanted to give her a little history of my prior acne treatments. She entered the room and didn’t come off personable at all. She spent a whopping total of 6 minutes with me, not really allowing me to speak much. She gave me no sense of ease. I felt like I had to hurry up, as I felt she was anxious to hand me over to her assistant, she did and walked out. Then her assistant asked me to meet her out front to further discuss a procedure that would cost thousands of dollars. I met her out front, I was so shocked, at how abruptly the Dr. visit ended. The assistant gave me a brief breakdown of the costs and downtime handed me a brochure and sent me on my way. Then I ran into her at the yogurt shop and she didn’t say a word to me. I had just seen her an hour previous. I smiled but she ignored me.
Then I got billed somewhere in the range of $ 200.00. Waste of time and money.
I was put off by the whole experience that it took me several years to muster up the courage to see a Cosmetic Dermatologist again. Just across Greenfield, in the BevMo shopping plaza, I entered Dr. Edward Kramers office. What a night and day difference… He restored any and all confidence I had with seeing a Dermatologist again. He took his time. Really looked closely at my skin. Made notes of his findings as well as gave me options. Gave me honest feedback. And seemed compassionate about how I felt. I have very oily skin, so he recommended I immediately go on Retin A cream while I give the other different options some thought. His staff was amazing and friendly. I stop by every few months to pick up a tube of Retin-​A cream. I’m greeted with a smile every time. So, if and when I’m ready to take a leap of faith I will definitely stay with Dr. Kramer.

I have been a patient at Dr. Sikorski’s for several years. I’ve had many suspicious moles and a basal cell carcinoma removed. Terri Cho is a wonderful PA and performs a very thorough body scan without making me feel uncomfortable. When I’ve had to return for excisions by Dr. Sikorski, she is reassuring, efficient and has left me with minimal scarring. I recently took my teenage daughter to the office for her eczema. We saw Tracie Meitzler and she was wonderful. She prescribed creams that helped with not only the eczema but also with my daughter’s acne. I recommend Natural Image OC to anyone who needs a dermatologist.

I’ve had two appointments with Dr Sikorski over the last year. I was skeptical/​apprehensive about Botox, fillers, etc. I walked in the door with three major fears:
1. Whatever procedure I get, it won’t look natural.
2. She’ll try to up-​sell me and I’ll end up doing more than I wanted.
3. I won’t like the results and I’ll regret the experience.
Exactly the opposite happened. Dr. Sikorski asked all the right questions and really listened to what I wanted: a conservative approach that looked very natural. She carefully studied my face (with what I believe is an artist’s eye) and recommended a couple of procedures. She did not try to up-​sell me. I was and am extremely pleased with the results (very natural). I highly recommend her and would very comfortably refer family and friends (to me, that’s the true measure of satisfaction).
Thank you Dr. Sikorski — glad I found you!

My family and I have been patients of Dr Sikorski’s for 15 years. Personally, I’ve always had remarkable experiences with her as well as the assistants and front office. I’ve seen Dr Sikorski as a dermatologist as well as cosmetic procedures. I would recommend her to anyone who wants an honest, professional, experienced opinion. She goes above and beyond to make sure the end result is what you want. She’s one of the good ones!

I think this review was long overdue. I have been coming to Dr. Sikorski for more than10 years. All I can say, she is awesome. Her staff is very professional, very kind and caring. I get botox and fillers on regular basis. Her outcome is very natural. I trust her guidance and her extensive knowledge in this field. I highly recommend her as I will continue to be a long standing patient.

Good Botox. Nice Dr.

Very, very disappointed! My beef is not with the dermatologists themselves, but the office itself and how it is run. My daughter has been on the Accutane program close to 7 month for her cystic acne. Each month blood has to be drawn at the hospital before the next prescription can be given. You miss the deadline and the whole procedure has to start again. We visited the hospital for her blood drawing to be turned away as the standing order had expired. Ok, no big deal (inconvenient as she fasted and took time from school for the visit) but the office can easily fax over an updated standing order, surely. Wrong?
1 phone call by Quest Diagnostics themselves for a new standing order (I was there when he called). I also called that afternoon to makes sure they were faxing it over so she could go AGAIN the next day. Left a VM with Ashley. No return phone call. Called AGAIN (3^rd phone call) and spoke with somebody who reassured me the standing order for blood drawing would be faxed over as she understood there was a cut off point.
We turned up AGAIN the next day for the 2^nd attempt at blood drawing, (time off from school for this) but was turned away due to the fax having not been sent! Incompetent.
Result: Left Quest Diagnostics with a teenager in tears not quite knowing or understanding if the acne will return now she has to start the whole procedure again.
We will be visiting another dermatologist office… won’t waste my co-​payment on visiting this office again. It’s hard having a teenager that struggles with cystic acne to see her in tears so close to finishing her treatment, but having to start again, due to the cut off point with blood drawing to be missed by their negligence. Very upsetting.
Called the office to cancel her appointment with the doctor and when I spoke with the receptionist to explain why we were not coming back, she understood as she knew i had left a VM the day before, but hung up on me when I told her we will be visiting another office.
Wow!

I came here to check up on my eczema. Natural Image OC is a dermatologist, but I don’t think they cater to these type of check ups on a daily basis. From the looks of it, Natural Image OC looks more like a cosmetic surgery place.
Needless to say though, the check up was easy. The office was clean, modern, and Natural Image OC was very up to date with modern computerized record keeping. Nurses asked the right questions, and the doctor was very knowledgeable. They even offered me a free trial coupon to get the topical cream I needed which was outstanding.
