Medical Dermatology
Our medical dermatology services diagnose and treat conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer. We offer same-day appointments for urgent concerns and provide comprehensive skin examinations. Patients benefit from our board-certified specialists' expertise in managing chronic skin conditions.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery removes skin cancer with 98%+ cure rates while preserving healthy tissue. Our fellowship-trained surgeons use microscopic analysis during procedures for complete cancer removal. This specialized technique ensures optimal cosmetic outcomes for facial and body treatments.
Coolsculpting
Coolsculpting eliminates stubborn fat without surgery using controlled cooling technology. Treatments target areas like love handles and double chins with natural-looking results. Patients enjoy no downtime and visible improvements within three weeks of treatment.
IPL Photorejuvenation
IPL treatments address sun damage, rosacea, and pigmentation issues using light therapy. The non-invasive procedure stimulates collagen production for smoother skin. Patients see gradual improvements in skin tone and texture over several weeks.

I have been seeing Dr. Wickwire for years now. He is a very friendly and skilled Dermatologist. Makes you feel at ease, with great bedside manner. Fortunately I have not needed much in the way of surgery, other than some minor excisions, which he resolved easily for me. His staff is equally amazing! Alicia, his front office Administrator & Reception is always accommodating with my appointments and supper friendly! Same goes for Dr. Wickwire's nurse of many years, Liberty. Just a super nice staff and great doctor! I highly recommend this business for your dermatology needs!

I have been seeing Fariba for dermatology exams and treatments of my skin for many years. She does a very comprehensive skin check for pre-cancerous spots and is focused on preventive measures. When necessary, she will biopsy the skin to assess for possible further treatment. I have also had cosmetic procedures done, usually botox. She takes time to ensure the best result from the injections and truly cares about her patients, their needs, and comfort level. She has also done other spot removals when appropriate. I feel very confident with her experience and expertise and have referred friends and family.

Started going to Fariba for skin screening when I realized that my previous dermatologist was not addressing my worrisome skin issues. She has done multiple biopsies and dozens of liquid nitrogen spot treatments. She also recommended blue light treatment which significantly improved my skin tone. I am in much better hands now that I see her regularly. I see her every 3 months and I look forward to her thorough preventative visits. I also think her staff is really friendly and efficient.

I visited the Beach Cities Dermatology Medical Center and was attended to by Fariba. I never write reviews, but she was AMAZING. I've been to other dermatology clinics before due to issues with my acne. she took one look at it and knew exactly what medication and treatment I needed. She was incredibly professional and really knows her stuff. 2 weeks later and my skin is looking the best it's ever looked. A very big THANK YOU FARIBA! You are amazing! Highly recommend her to anyone!

This was my first visit, after a warm, professional, and informative new patient induction process, courtesy of Elisha, in the Culver City office. My appointment was with Dr. Wickwire; I was seen promptly and was treated with respect and professionalism throughout my visit, by both the doctor and his support staff; if my memory serves me correctly, I believe their names were Christina and Erica. I hope that is accurate, but I must say that everyone I met at the office was warm and welcoming. Thank you for an outstanding patient experience!

This is by far the best Dermatologist experience I have had in 35 years. From the warm welcome, accommodating scheduling, thorough exam, accurate diagnosis, and efficient process, I couldn't ask for a more trustworthy team.
