Advance Laser and Cosmetics

I was extremely disappointed in my visit. I was actually referred to Dr. Roham by one of my best friends. I was looking for a Dr. who offered ½ syringes of Juvederm. My best friend said, «yes, he does $ 250 for ½ a syringe of Juvederm and $ 550 for a full syringe. I have heard of other Dr.‘s offering the same price for the ½ size, so I know this isn’t an uncommon practice.
I definitely didn’t have an enjoyable experience here and from what I saw, the staff was unorganized and inconsistent with the way they conducted business. I called on a Monday to schedule an appointment. I made my appointment for the following day, Tuesday, in the Santa Ana office. I SPECIFICALLY asked the receptionist on the phone to confirm the $ 250 price of ½ a syringe of Juvederm to which she said YES.
I come into the office the next day, go up to the front desk and give the girl my name and she asks me (younger looking girl with short blonde hair) «oh you’re the one who’s in for the $ 250 ½ syringe.» To which I happily replied, «yes.» I assumed that she must have remembered me from the phone call. Anyways, I get called back to the procedure room. Dr. Roham had a sort of dismissive attitude toward me, which I was disappointed to find out. Especially because I tried to converse about the connection with my best friend who is a patient of his. He actually walked out of the room in the middle of my sentence when I was talking to him. I just got the overall vibe that he didn’t have time for me or just wanted me out of there. Anyways,
After the procedure, I am asked to walk myself back to the waiting area. A older woman with long blonde hair, steps in front of me before I could even approach the front desk. She is clearly some type of manager or something in this office. She sternly tells the receptionist (short blonde hair), «she got the ½ syringe, which we don’t do here.» I was shocked by how this older woman was so rude to her staff and to myself. She looked at me like I was some kind of cheapskate. I was appalled. I was told NOT only by my friend, but by the receptionist herself that this office offered ½ syringes!!! Now, as I’m trying to pay, they all of a sudden «don’t do that?»
Anyways,
So I give the receptionist my card to pay, and she charges me $ 275 dollars. I repeat — $ 275 DOLLARS, when I was quoted multiple times that it was $ 250. I tried to ask her why the price magically increased by $ 25 and she said that $ 275 is the standard ½ syringe price «because 275 is half of 550. My jaw hit the floor. Was she serious?! I specifically confirmed $ 250 just yesterday!!! Are these people delusional? I’m sorry, but this is no way to run business. I was so disappointed. I had such high hopes for this office and Doctor. I have had Juvederm done by another doctor at a different practice twice before and never have I ever experienced anything like what I experienced today.
Finally– I have bumps on my inner lower lip that feel like a series of tiny spheres. I’m a little concerned.

I have been going to Advance Laser and Cosmetics for a few years now. Dr. Tim Roham is an amazing doctor. He has done some medical cosmetic surgery to me with outstanding results. I am very pleased with his staff as well. They are all so friendly and helpful. I am an esthetician and I refer all my clients who want some botox, fillers, or beautification done to go see him. His gentle demeanor and expertise knowledge on what exactly you need and DON’T need gives him an A+ in my book. There are so many plastic surgeon doctors who care only about the money they bring in. I can truly say, Dr. Roham is the furthest from this. He cares about his patients and a positive outcome.

Great doctor! Performs miracles! My experience has always been a positive one ! Dr Roham is a wonderful doctor and has a great office staff. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a pastic surgeon or cosmetic treatments.

I came to see Dr. Tim Rohan after purchasing a Groupon for Sclerotherapy leg treatment.
Boy, am I glad I did, I have been getting sclerotherapy treatments for 20 years on my legs for unsightly spider veins. I have seen several vein specialists during those 20 years but, my spider veins kept coming back in large patches, in the same areas. I have been told I have a predisposition to spider veins and there was nothing I could do but continue sclerotherapy.
As you now this is a costly, non insured treatment.
I mentioned to Dr. Rohan during my treatment was other specialists had told me. Upon examining my legs he asked if I ever had a ultrasound for «Leaking Veins» I said no. He suggested I get one and my insurance covers the procedure. He called a place close by and I was able to get in quickly.
As it turns out, I had 3 leaking veins in my legs. Dr. Rohan told me he could do a «outpatient laser vein surgery» to correct the problem. He and his staff were patient as they worked with my insurance for weeks to help me get the procedure covered.
I had 3 separate procedures to «shut down» my leaking veins.
The staff was caring, considerate and friendly during my visits. Dr. Rohan was also caring, friendly, efficient, and concerned for my comfort during all 3 procedures. (which was done in his Santa Ana clinic)
I received some sclerotherapy treatment a bit after my surgeries from Dr. Rohan. He was quick, but really made sure to get ALL unsightly veins. Other doctors just seem to do big veins but, Dr. Rohan made sure to get all small veins too.
My legs have never looked better, the sclerotherapy treatment are holding with no new unsightly spider veins.
I am so grateful to Dr. Rohan and his lovely staff for discovering my true issue to those nasty spider vein nests all over my legs. They are now clear and free of spider veins.
Of course you must do your part an wear the compression stockings for awhile. They conveniently have some to purchase in the office. The price is comparable to what you find in Medical stores and online so I know they do not «jack» up the price.
Thank You, Thank You!!!

I felt Dr. Roham was very rude and inconsiderate. I went to him for an IPL treatment, which I had had numerous times before at other facilities. He was rushed and not thorough and he got GOBS of gel in my hair and never even apologized. He exhibits no concern for his patients and I would never recommend him!

Best idea ive ever had was to get liposuction on my tummy. The Dr. Was wonderful he even came in at 8 o’clock at night post surgery to examine. The staff is wonderful. Christine the treatment coordinator is the best. She is so caring, knowledgeable, and patient with all her clients. She spent additional time with me when I was having additional questions. The surgery was great the outcome was unbelievable. I can’t believe I lost 30 pounds in one month. I went to other cosmetic doctors for consultations and none of them treated me like Dr. Roham. He was patient and took time to answer every one of my questions. All the other places I went to I felt like they were trying to sell me everything from liposuction to botox. You will not be disappointed if you come here.

I went to see Dr. Roham for spider vein treatment. The office staff were friendly. Dr. Roham saw my leg, and quickly began treatment. I asked for numbing crème, but he said it wasn’t necessary. I would have liked the crème, as it was uncomfortable. I felt Dr. Roham was really quick, and then he had an emergency from another patient, so he had to stop, and went to them, and returned but said we were finished. (They told me before I might need to buy stockings from them, but since it was minor, I did not need to. The stocking were $ 45 or $ 55).
I felt rushed with the treatment.
That night I had a huge bruise that lasted two weeks.
I called the next day because I noticed the Dr. missed an area, as he was rushed and didn’t look at the side of my thigh. (Treatment minor and only on one upper thigh.) Office said come back after a week.
I scheduled an appointment for the redo. They called and asked if I could change it and make it an hour earlier as they had an emergency. I changed an appointment and went to the DR earlier.
Dr. Roham is a DO, not a MD.
Dr. Roham looked at my leg, said I had to wait 6 weeks, and pay for another treatment. I showed him the area he missed, and he said, «I tell patients I can not get all the spider veins.» Prior I only had a quick treatment and he left for the emergency.
I told him that wasn’t ok, and that I changed an appointment to meet with him, and he immediately left and sent the office manager in, saying «I hear you are mad at me». I told her I was not angry with her at all, but upset with the Dr. for not fixing my leg, this had nothing to do with her.
I felt rushed with the treatment, and this was not a quality job. It barely looks like I had any treatment.
I would definitely not go back. Facial Aesthetics Concepts is more expensive, but at least they are thorough. You would not get treatment like this. I would be afraid of facial work here.
I did read other reviews before my treatment. Maybe the Dr is inconsistent?

I have been to Dr. Roham for eyelid surgery, CO2 laser, thermage, and Juvederm at various times. He is a caring doc with a great patient focus. I have had nothing but great results and would highly recommend him. His staff is really nice too.

I redeemed a groupon that was about to expire… so far I’m happy with the results from my spider vein treatment. I’ll keep you guys updated… The doctor was VERY fast & didn’t miss any of those nasty veins… looking forward to those daisy dukes in the summer…

I went for spider vein removal. After just one session, I already see a difference!
