Too bad I can't give him a -0 rating. Otherwise I would! I have been seeing Jacob Rispler since 1979 on and off for my fungus infection that doesn't go away. the last visit was at 8/03/07. After waiting for whole hour they send in a 20 year old assistant to help me. After telling the guy that I'm here to see Dr. Rispler he came in for one second with a very bad attitude and told me my fungus was very severe compering to other people and he give me some cream and than he walked out. I asked the guy if he is coming back ? he said, no.. I was so furious with him. I should have reported him to the

Waste of time , didn’t see the doctor after I was told I would be a good candidate for the laser treatment. The doctors assistant basically told me that he couldn’t help and that I should see a certified dermatologist. From my understanding that was the point in my appointment (to see a certified dermatologist) . The fact that the doctor didn’t even have the decency to talk to me but rather have his assistant come in ask me if I have insurance and that I should go somewhere else was a complete was of my time. I don’t recommend any people of color to waste their time coming to this place

Please do not come here. I came for a service for when i used to have acne and also had lasers done. To start with the lasers didnt do a single difference for me. He also gave me creams that were so harsh on my face that my skin would constantly be peeling and red. I didnt know these treatments where bad until i decided to go to a professional who told me these creams where damaging my skin rather than helping. Not only was he unprofessional he charged me a wooping 5,000 for it. This guy shouldn't have a business open. I tried looking for there location where I had the service on google but

Under the new name of LDI. Why would they change the name???? To regroup, and maybe hide numerous bad reviews. EXACTLY!!

Save your money and go to a board certified plastic surgeon when planning to do anything to your face...including lasers!!!!!!!

Doctor (Haha) Rispler is NOT a plastic surgeon!

I don't know how they're still in business, oh yes, they just change the name, every website has such bad reviews....EXCEPT their actual website.

When he left a scar on my face, he scrambled for months trying to fix what he did, but he couldn't!
Do yourself a favor, and stay away

With Dr. Rispler you can never go wrong with him. He has been my Dermatologist for over a year now and his expertise on the field was already unmatched and recognized by all. His Laser treatment was one of the best that I have tried and it is guaranteed safe.

Skin rejuvenation has been my treatment since the day I started my treatments at LDI Laser. Their equipment’s for the treatment had been one of the latest in technology today and they were always up to date of what’s new on the industry, they never been left behind by others. The staffs also in here were the best. They were very accommodating and welcoming. Everyone in this office was knowledgeable and knows how to treat every client’s needs.

LDI Laser has been my go to dermatology office for my skin rejuvenating sessions. I already done 3 sessions in here for the skin rejuvenation treatment and results already can be seen. Thank you so much Dr. Rispler for taking care of my skin. Highly recommended dermatology office.

I am a 60 year old man who grew up in Southern California. I have a lot of sun damage. I am really amazed how Dr. Rispler has taken the time to really assess the best way to address surface veins and pre-cancer. I am pleased with initial results, but had another treatment today. I feel he takes a lot of pride in results.

If I had the choice, I would give Dr. Rispler a "0". I spent $5000 just to have my skin look worse than when I came in. Every time I went in for an appointment, I was told, "oh you just need to wait for the collagen growth." I waited and waited. Nothing! Instead, I now have pits on my face something I never had. I hate looking at myself in the mirror because it's all I see. Dr. Rispler has no manners. He and his staff sound as if they are trying to brainwash you by saying they see the benefits of the treatments, when you yourself don't at all. My husband, children

Dr. Rispler is the best dermatologist that I’ve ever met. He has an excellent bedside manner and it makes going to the doctor a more pleasant experience for me. I felt like he listened to my concerns and answered my questions in a way that made me comfortable with him as my doctor. He assured me what the right course of action in my situation.
Couldn't be happier with my experience to him. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dermatologist.

I had my legs for a laser hair removal at LDI and they made it nice and fast. After a few sessions with them, my legs now were smooth and hair free. I don’t need to use any stockings to look my legs hair free. Thanks to Dr. Rispler for the great treatment he had for me.

If I could give Dr Rispler zero stars I would. First off there were no before pictures. I didn't really care at the time, as long as the two laser treatments I was getting worked. I took my own before pics since I was so excited to look 8-10 years younger. I did the first treatment and did not notice anything. I know repair and such takes time so I wasn't super concerned. 3 months later I did the second treatment and still nothing. I waited to go back for my follow up, seeing if it just took a little more time to show. I finally went back and wanted to talk to the doctor about

Dr. Rispler is an amazing, personable professional who knows his field and is committed to providing a comfortable, modern treatment experience. He does not over-sell and provides an honest evaluation of my condition and what is needed to get the desired results. As for the office, the building has ample parking and overall, I had no problems going there for my pair of appointments. Just wanted to leave this review so more people know how great this group is!

For a place that is advertising beauty, the Costa Mesa office is in terrible need of a makeover. The office is worn and dated, the waiting room contained a man with his shoes off and no one behind the counter for about 5 minutes. When I was finally called in for my appointment, I was told I could not include my friend who I had brought with me. I took her because I highly value her opinion and needed an unbiased opinion. I was told she could not be with me and they couldn't give me a reason why. Of course, it made me feel like they were trying to hide something. I never made it to the

Thought I would treat myself for my 55th birthday and decided to focus on my neck. I spent $5000 on two laser treatments, and cannot see any improvement at all. I can kick myself for paying Dr Rispler for agony and pain, I should have gone on a crusie or invited my friends to many spa treatments - STAY AWAY from this outfit. Dr Rispler is a fraud.

I went to Dr Rispler in my early 20's for acne treatment. He was as rude, uncaring and as horrible as all these post say even back then when he had a small practice. I was working full time and living with my mom. My check went to him and his creams and make up with no results except an empty wallet. I questioned him once and he screamed at me until my eyes watered. Never went back and eventually found an amazing dermatologist. Dr. Marion Quinn in Pasadena. Don't waste your money on him. He has no ethics or morals. He just wants your money. There is a special place in hell waiting for

I just finished my 3rd treatment, and I am so pleased. With each treatment, results are more noticeable, and recovery time quicker.
Nicki administered my last treatment, and was wonderful: thorough, patient, sweet. Jessica has always been sweet and helpful.
Since my husband is in the medical field, I am always aware of how other offices are run, especially when it comes to appointment/wait times. I have been seen on time for every appointment, which I so appreciate.
So my experience, and results, have earned Dr. Rispler and his team 5 Yelp Stars, and sincere gratitude and resounding endorsement

Came in for my maintenance treatment, Dr. Rispler has improves my acne breakouts so much. I started coming about a year ago and since starting treatments I haven't had any more breakouts, my scars are barely noticeable, this has been the first summer in a long time that I felt I didn't have to hide behind makeup to enjoy myself by the pool or at the beach. I feel better about my skin.

**Note: I personally copied these comments I originally posted to LDI:
Not five stars yet, as I'm not finished with my treatment. But so far, so great!
I think a lot of people don't understand that while lasers are the answer for many, it's not a perfect science. And that's true for all forms of medical treatment: what works for many won't work for all. For instance, I've had several different treatments elsewhere, and in the process have learned that my skin doesn't respond to IPL laser. I really liked that LDI has so many options. Most doctors have one, maybe

If you have concerns, questions that you want to speak about or look at it, go elsewhere! That doctor doesn't care about your problem in the slightest, he doesn't want to get to know why you are there, he doesn't want to help You! What he wants is your money!!

I saw Dr. Rispler after hearing his ad on the radio and he must pay them A LOT to say he is so wonderful because I sure didn't see it when I went in for my consult.

After filling out a bunch of paperwork to get a consult on laser treatments for acne, Dr. Rispler spent maybe a total of 5 minutes with me and said it would cost approximately $5,000- $7,000 and when I hesitated about the price he gave me less than 2 minutes to think about if I wanted to proceed or not and practically kicked me out of his office and told me to call him when I was ready.

What a joke of a Dr. How does this guy

I've heard about Dr. Jacob Rispler on the radio. I thought such an established doctor would be wonderful.

Dr Rispler probably spent a total of 3 minutes seeing me. The nurse screened me to see what I wanted to speak to the doctor about.

He checked out the sections of my skin I wanted examined. Said they were okay, and then left. I didn't get a chance to talk to him anymore. No more questions, no further or more detailed explanations.

I mean its good to know that my skin is fine, but I got that feel of "just another patient." He is a machine. If you like that wham
