Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Dermatologist!
I would recommend Dr. Alain to anyone looking for a thorough and well learned doctor. She was intelligent, spoke-well, really knew how to listen to me and help- and best of all totally painless.

I finally found a doctor who is gets my itchy skin and how to make me better. I had just about given up and nothing seemed to help with my back itch. It was making me crazy and nothing would stop. I finally found a few websites and all of them kept leading to Dr. Alai. So I saw her and she instantly knew I had Notalgia on my back and she right off told me it was coming from my old neck injury-- but I hadn't even told her I was in like 4 rear enders before.

I highly recommend Dr. Alai as a compassionate, caring, thorough, and most importantly for me --painless doctor. She was fantastic with me and accommodated my grandson who I was sitting for the day. My surgery was painless, I asked when they were going to start- when it was actually already number up and I didn't feel a thing. My grandson was entertained by Alicia and had a good time with the balloons and treats so he asked and wants to go back with me next time.

I had my choice of doctors but am going out of my insurance plan just to see Dr. Alai. My psoriasis has NEVER looked so clear and I do not know what I would do otherwise without Dr. Alai and the staff. . I was seeing a couple of other dermatologists who were treating me with injections and nothing worked. My skin was getting worse and I was in terrible pain 24/7. I stopped all of those drugs and opted for a holistic light therapy which I go in for about twice a week. Everything is almost clear!

I love my guru of a doctor- I was a nervous wreck and totally new to Dr. Alai a year ago. I transferred from Westlake and had pretty good doctors there but I couldn't believe the skin cancers they missed on me just weeks before I moved to Laguna . I am so so grateful for my guru- Dr. Alai found 2 skin cancers no one else found. She sent me to a plastic surgeon for one because I was so worried about one being on my nose but he said it looked fine! It turned out to be a basal cell anyway-

I flew into LA and fought through the traffic to have a PDT procedure performed by Dr Alai. I was a little nervous at first due to post therapy burn and sensitivity. Dr Alai was friendly, knowledgeable, instructive, and precautionary. She listened to my concern and decided to perform a mild first therapy. She gave me two kids of sun-blocking hats to wear as well as plenty of samples of sun screen cream. Post therapy, my face was red for only two days. The oil on my skin was significantly decreas

I am very grateful for all of Dr Alai's help. She gave me great recommendations. My father was ill and I was moving out of state and I plan to follow Dr. Alai's recommendations once I settle in Georgia. Dr. Alai is an excellent doctor. I hope I can find someone like her in Georgia.

Dr. Alai is incredible . . . I had a severe fifty cent size rash which ended in a burning, itching left arm. It felt like bees were stinging me. It had been going on for several months and I saw several(8)+doctors who were unable to help. I found Dr. Alai on-line and got an appointment. She correctly diagnosed the condition as coming from my neck which affected all the nerve endings in my arm, and I am now being treated by a physical therapist with neck traction and a TENS/Emp.
