Maryam Shahsavari DO

I checked in & didn’t have to wait long. Yay for that! Actually, I was in & out of the office within 45 min.
Office staff was helpful.
Had a couple things done. So happy. Had a cherry angioma that the doc treated… No issues since. Yay!!! Also had a deep biopsy… The doctor was very careful & precise. I was so scared but she was very calming. After I left the office, I bled through the bandage & called the office. The doc gave me good advice & also gave me the option to come back in if the bleeding didn’t stop. It took a while, but the bleeding stopped.
It’s been a couple months & the wound area healed very very well!
I plan to use Advanced Institute of Dermatology again based on all the events of this appointment, followup, & healing of the biopsied area.

I accompanied my mother on a visit to the doctor, and I’m happy to now also be her patient — even though she’s a long drive from me– it’s worth it. Her skillful & caring combination knowledge about skin health & aesthetic concerns are a perfect mix. She doesn’t suggest aggressive procedures, she listens! She is warm & very kind. I was warned about her front desk associate but he was very kind & seemed to be trying hard! I’ve finally found my dermatologist!

I went to get a biopsy from this doctor. She was too aggressive in removing healthy skin, and did a rather poor job of closing the wound after removal. I have a huge divot In my thigh now. The scar looks like sh*t. I thought I could trust this medical professional. Maybe after she gets a few more years of experience things will be different. She’s very young and I’m guessing inexperienced.

It saddens me to be forced to give this Doctor a 1 star. Dr. Shahsavari is amazing and deserves a 5 star review. However, the one star is for the nasty, rude, vile and incompetent Front Office male employee. We have been doubled billed, over billed, under billed and some payments were never fully processed and credited to my balance. I’ve seen him be short and rude with other patients, especially the elderly. If he was no longer employed there, I would bring my family back in a heartbeat.

Dr. Shahsavari is FANTASTIC! I recently went to see her for both a medical procedure and Botox/​filler. I was weary about getting fillers and she took plenty of time with me to really listen and understand what type of outcome I was looking for. I am thrilled with the results– she was very gentle and clearly a master as my husband who even notices when I change my eyeliner didn’t notice that I got filler. He only commented that I look different… Really rested:). I couldn’t say enough about Dr. Shahsavari and would highly recommend her to any patient seeking either medical or cosmetic dermatology:)

Dr. Shahsavari is one of the most personable doctors that I have had the pleasure to meet. She is fantastic at both cosmetics such as botox as well as in treating more advanced conditions such as basal cell. I will continue to see her and highly recommend her to anyone wants the best pricing and work of an artist. I am thankful she is in town!

I just left Dr Maryam Shahsavari! And I am so happy with my experience! I loved her and her stuff, they were so nice! Dr Maryam knows what she doing, she told me exactly what I needed! And I’m so happy with my results! I will be differently going back!!!

I have been to Dr. Shahsavari for 2 – 3 years and wouldn’t trust anyone else with my skin! If she could be my PCP I’d hire her! I’ve seen her for basic check ups, sclerotherapy, and a melasma that developed during pregnancy. I am currently trying to get my mom to come down from Washington to see her for Mohs surgery, so I obviously trust her… But even more telling is the fact that I just had my 6 month old son in to be treated by her. That’s trust! He had the most horrible, red, raw rash on his face that was only getting worse and she prescribed him a topical and he is almost healed after just 2 days! Thank you thank you thank you!

The doctor is knowledgeable but her staff is rude and horrible. DON’T BOTHER. Beyond horrible in terms of treatment. I will never recommend this office. And don’t bother talking to her office staff; unfortunately, you can’t talk with her which would be very helpful — they are disrespectful and awful.

Pippy Longstocking on steroids. My wife’s and my first and last visit for a body scan was perfunctory, rushed and it just didn’t feel right. I had to ask her if she wanted to examine my pants, or would she like me to remove them so she could examine my legs. We didn’t feel confident in her. To each his own, I suppose.

Always makes me think «there’s something afoot here Watson» when I see straight 5 star reviews and a single bad review, as is the case with Dr. Shahsavari but, in any event, you can add me to the five star Club for this exceptional dermatologist.
My first visit was essentially perfect: seen on schedule (or as close to «on schedule» as any doctor manages) by what appeared to be a 15 year old girl with a mega-​watt smile and a personality to match, wielding her trusty freeze zapper — gave me a full body scan, zapped a few skin abnormalities, prescribed a cream for an overly dry area, suggested some other over the counter products, answered all my questions professionally and got me on my way in about 10 minutes.
What more could one want?! Looking for a new dermatologist? Look no further!!!

I have been to many dermatologists over the years. I moved to the desert and tried DR. Shahsavari. I was surprised that in the entire time I saw her, she never conducted a full body inspection. Most of the time she would see me with her liquid nitrogen gun in her hand. She’d spritz me and then dash off. I always felt like she had a plane to catch. It’s possible that her expertise is in cosmetic surgery, but for nuts and bolts dermatology I found her lacking.

Dr. Maryam Shahsavari is a physician par excellence. She is highly skilled and her warmth is welcoming. Her office staff are efficient and kind. She diagnoses and treats my complicated dermatological problems. Dr. Shahsavari is a valued addition to the Palm Springs community.

Dr. Shahsavari is wonderful. She made me feel very comfortable. So glad to find a great dermatologist!

Dr. Shahsavari is the most knowledgable and kindest dermatologist I have been to. I have sent my entire family to her office and everyone has been very pleased. I look better than ever! Thanks Dr. Shahsavari

Fantastic Doctor!!! She really knows her stuff! Dr. S immediately diagnosed my condition (and showed me example photos online) that I had previously seen three doctors about, including an «Allergy Specialist» …they’d all dismissed it as an «allergy of unknown origin». Thank you for caring not just for my skin, but taking a holistic approach to my overall health and well being! Highly recommend!

Best D. O ever. I have needle phobia and she was so loving and understanding. Knows what she is doing and is board certified. 5 stars!
