Quynh L. Sebastian, MD

This is a review for the office, not the doctor. I was originally referred to Dr. Sebastian by my wife, who has seen her for a few years. I clarified that Dr. Sebastian took my insurance, but was booked up for at least three weeks. The receptionist suggested I see Dr. Kormeili, who could see me the following week. I clarified that she took my insurance as well. I went over every detail of my policy. I was put on hold and then told that, yes, she took it. The time wasn’t convenient for me but I was willing to rearrange my day to be checked sooner. Went in this morning and was told Dr. Kormeili never took my insurance and that Dr. Sebastian wouldn’t be taking it any more as of October 15^th, a completely different story than what I was told when I booked. The receptionist offered a half-​hearted apology but no real solution. I suggested that they book me with Dr. Sebastian before Oct. 15^th and make an exception as a way of making this right since they completely inconvenienced me, but I received a blank stare and another, «I’m sorry.» Now after waiting a week I hope the mole I have isn’t anything serious because I now have to look for another Doctor and wait to see them. But not that the office would really care about whether or not that puts my health in jeopardy. They clearly have no accountability for their mistakes.

Dr. Sebastian is one of the nicest and most professional doctors I have ever dealt with in my many years of seeing doctors. She is always so happy and remembers our last visit talks every time I go back yearly to see her. She takes her time with you, per visit, to go over every question and health concern you have, never making you feel rushed. Her office is very nice, welcoming and clean and her team is very professional as well. I’ve been seeing dr. Sebastian for many years now and can’t imagine ever seeing another dermatologist if she were to move away… so please stay close by always!!!

Dr. Sebastian and her entire staff are FABULOUS!
I’m one of those high-​risk, skin cancer types and she makes sure I stay up-​to-​date on my check-​ups, gives exceptional care and advice and has the sweetest disposition and bed-​side manner of any doctor I’ve ever seen. Great sense of humor too. She doesn’t mind at all that the only way I can get through those «freezing» sessions is my humming weird little songs.
If you live in the area, I highly recommend her for any and all of your dermological care and needs.

NOT accepting new patients! Needs to update BS of Cali website. I just wasted a ton of time reading reviews and cross comparing at BS website. They offered me an appt with another doctor to pay out of pocket. I’m already paying out of pocket for my insurance every month– no thanks!

Dr. Quynh is GREAT!
Always so nice and gives you many options for care. I would highly recommend her!!!

I called today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Q Sebastian but the receptionist informed me that she is unfortunately not accepting any new patients.

DR. SEBASTIAN IS THE GOLD STANDARD! She is amazing when it comes to laser hair removal (back and shoulders specifically, for me). Dr. Sebastian also has the best face wash I have ever used– Ask for the brightening polish cleanser!!! I refuse to use anything else now. The acne pads also work wonders. I can go on and on…

There is no better Derm in So Cal. Been coming here for 7 yrs. Moved to Laguna and still drive all the way there for her. She is the most honest, pleasant, professional highly skilled Derm there is. PERIOD. Women who are younger than me are always asking me how its possible I am 43. It is all Dr Sebastian. Love her and her pristine spa-​like office. They treat you like roualty.

I’ve only seen Dr. Q Sebastien once but have since gone to her practice several times to see the nurse there only b/​c I can get a last min appt easily. Dr. S had great bedside manners and I felt comfortable with her. Also I really like the friendliness of their receptionist — just overall a happy practice to visit. Waiting time is generally short and reasonable, billing is professional and worry free. Appts are easy to make. Would have given the practice five stars but feel that I need to see Dr. S at least more than once to make that call!

Dr Quynh and her entire staff are superb! They are professional, personable and provide state of the art technology. Dr S provides the ultimate care and service of her patients. We have been patients for over 10 years and she provides fantastic service and truly cares about her patients. The office staff, especially Crystal, Randy, Vanessa and Denise are always warm and caring and Dr Kormelli is equally wonderful. I recommend Dr Sebastian to anyone and everyone I can. If you are reading this, you are lucky enough to have just found The Best Derm in all of Los Angeles, Southern California or even nationally… We love Dr Sebastian!

Wow. I am floored at my wonderful experience with Dr. Sebastian. I had a decent dermo in Beverly HIlls, but the staff in his office weren’t very nice, he was covered under my insurance — but my biopsies weren’t (they sent out to another provider for results or something) and it was a haul to get there from Santa Monica.
So — when I saw all the great reviews for Dr. Sebastian, I figured I’d give her a shot. It took about a month to get in, but it was worth it.
Her staff is wonderful. So kind and helpful. They run ON TIME — which is an anomaly in LA (at least in my experience). And she was just super thorough — offering me advice for skin care, giving me samples of products, going through all of my little skin issues — I felt like she really took her time.
They have a new patient in me — I would recommend her to anyone.

i absolutely love her! my favorite dermatologist that i’ve seen. only down part is that because she’s so awesome her schedule fills up pretty quickly and her office is not opened on the weekends.

Very efficient, personable care from a young, perky doctor, who was fun to chat with. Took care of my skin care needs, recommending products that were safer and more natural.
Glad to have come here, based on consistently great Unilocal reviews…

I moved to Los Angeles and was in need of a new dermatologist. There were good reviews for her on Unilocal so I made an appt. They didn’t have any openings for over a month but it was worth the wait. The parking is a parking structure which you will need to pay for. I was there 30 – 45 minutes and it cost almost $ 6 but it’s one of the cheaper places in the area to park.
When I got to her office I checked in and the nice front desk staff took my driver’s license and social. They even offered me water or hot green tea. I sat down expecting to wait a while but after only 2 minutes they called me back. They gave me a gown to change into and I was sitting for maybe 2 minutes when Dr. Sebastian came in. She introduced herself, asked me if I had any concerns and about my skin history. She then gave me a full body check up for moles including my scalp. She was extremely thorough, gentle and friendly. She explained everything as she went and even kept up a conversation asking me about my family. Dr. Sebastian had lots of compliments to give which was wonderful.
She agreed with me that the 2 moles I was concerned about should be shaved and sent to the lab. I let her know about my Neosporin/​Polysporin allergy and provided me with my usual Aquafor as well as gave me free samples to take home. She shaved the moles and gave me instructions for follow up.
I can’t say better things about Dr. Sebastian and her staff.

I had an Photo Facial this year, and the sun spots were virtually gone, but not completely. Rather than have another Photo Facial, I opted to try Dr. Sebastian’s own Rx bleaching cream. I have used it now for 6 months, and what a difference!!! My entire face is smooth, in addition to the fading sun spots. I apply a wee bit, daily, and now my skin glows. Even the staff at Dr. Sebastian’s compliments my skin… what does that tell you? I no longer use foundation. I only need to use face creams, sunscreen and a transparent powder. Voila! Beautiful glow! Thanks to Dr. Sebastian.

I went to Dr. Sebastian for the first time today, and I can honestly say it was the most amazing and pleasurable doctor experience I have ever had. I truly cannot wait to go back. She was kind, attentive, funny, and sharp as they come — and I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Sebastian makes you feel as though you have known each other for years — I have never felt as comfortable as I did with her. If you are nervous around doctors, or doctor visits, then I highly recommend her.
The office space is so clean, and beautifully kept — you feel as though you are in a secret spa that only A-​listers and celebrities know about. The added bonus is that Her front office staff are beyond accommodating and kind. They all make you feel like you are the only patient they are seeing that day, and are very helpful. The office runs so smoothly, I was very impressed.
Dr. Sebastian is also a walking billboard — her skin is flawless, beautiful; I have never seen anything like it.
If you need to see a dermatologist, see Dr. Sebastian. I will recommend her until I am blue in the face. Truly an amazing experience. If only all doctors could be like her!

The greatest, caring Doctor. She’s taken incredible care of me for over 10 years.

Because the summers of my youth were spent slathering myself with baby oil and sipping Bartles & Jaymes at *insert any-​grimy-​Central Valley Lake here* — I have more than my share of freckles and possibly other sun-​weathered skin afflictions…
GLORY be to God for dappled things!!!
My sun-​dappled skin needs yearly check-​ups so, after reading all of the glowing reviews for Dr. Sebastian, I believed I had found my neighborhood dermatologist.
My appointment was at 3pm and I was in my car driving home by 4:-ish, having had a head to toe inspection of all my spots + 2 biopsies!
Amazing…
Dr. Sebastian and her staff are incredibly sweet, accommodating, and knowledgeable. And, to top it off ~ they were totally apologetic for the «wait»… seriously? I was out of there in under an hour!!!
I was given heaps of advice and suggestions for my skin type and how to preserve what I haven’t yet tarnished with my sun worshiping ways … plus I was sent away with a goodie bag full of samples :)
Dr. Sebastian is a GEM… I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thorough doctor who knows her stuff, but manages to keep an amazingly professional yet very personable bed-​side manner!

I wish I could give Dr. Sebastian and her team 10 stars. Or infinite. I wish more doctors were like Quynh. She is incredibly attentive. You enter the office and it’s like entering a spa. You are immediately offered water or hot tea. I have gone to Quynh for treatment for perioral dermatitis, general skin concerns and other miscellaneous issues. She talks you through everything and explains options. If there is a medication that can help you, she will prescribe it. She also explains a plan b if the immediate course of action doesn’t work. Aimee, the aesthetician, is amazing. I have not ever had a better facial. She will break out the cortisone shots if needed. Lastly, I have never left that office after a facial with inflamed skin. And, a warm touch, when I leave, the entire office tells me how much I glow.
The team tests and recommends products but will never push anything. About 95% of my regimen today is stuff I was introduced to by Quynh and her team. My skin has improved dramatically.
One of my favorite things is that when I call the office with a question or concern, Dr. Sebastian calls me back. I love the entire team there, but it says a lot when the MD gets on the phone to call a patient.
Love this team. You will not be disappointed!

Dr. Sebastian is incredibly professional, thorough, well-​studied, personable, and highly skilled at what she does. She is very respectful, is accommodating, openly listens to my concerns, and even does outside research to fine tune her treatments. If you need a dermatologist who is truly competent, look no further.
I don’t know what her out-​of-​pocket rates are, because I go through my insurance. However, even if I had to pay privately, it would be worth it. I could not be happier with her!
