Jack Hakimian Silvers, MD

Dr. Jack Silvers is one of the most caring, professional, honest and personable
physicians.
I am having to change due to insurance changes. I will definitely miss his constant
attention to detail. He calls after hours with important updates and results of tests
performed. He is available almost all the time to answer any questions.
He reminds me of the doctors in days gone by who took an interest in their patients.
He is also a writer and has published several books.
Most important, he is one of the most ethical people I have met.

Truly the best cosmetic Dermatologist in the city. What I like most, he cares, listens and has the anwers to the most compex situations.
He has an easy personality which is a huge plus. He does not mind asnwering the same question twice. He Is patient and caring. His office is OK, not super modern but high tech. The best part is his eye for esthetics. He gave me a dream skin. I will be forever grateful. TRULY an artist. I was recommended by my favorite dentist, Dr Goodman.

Dr Jack Silvers is an amazing dermatologist. I has an ongoing toe nail issue in which I had seen numerous specialist for over the years. He is the only one that gave me the advise and the aid to finally get rid of the problem. His technique and recommendations were noninvasive and effective. I highly recommend Dr Silvers.

I have been going to Dr. Silvers for several years now and find him very attentive. He has treated me for everything from botox, filler, moles, skin tags — you name it. I hightly recommend.

Dr. Silvers is fantastic! He treats my whole family and most of my friends. Beauty, Botox, filler, moles, boils, everything! We trust him totally. He is also very polite and kind.

I wrote a very nice review for Dr. Silvers over a year ago, and it has been deleted. Does « Unilocal» purge reviews? The other reviews still up are all familiar.
Anyway, I have found Dr. Silvers to be a very considerate doctor who follows up on his patients. This show of concern is appreciated. I dealt with troublesome acne and while I did not find the dairy free diet of any help, we were able to put together a topical regimen that worked. Also, he is by far the best dermatologist at removing impacted cysts and whiteheads that I ever visited. Because of frequent outbreaks, he allowed me and set up a system where I could come in without an appointment. Also, becuase my insurance (hmo) did not cover him, he gave me very, very reasonable rates.
Thanks, Dr. Silvers!

If you want to have less than average results, and a bill you can’t afford to pay, go to Dr. Silvers.
3 years ago, I went to see Dr. Silvers for a small, light-​colored mole on my forehead. He «removed» it basically by scraping it off, and yet it was still there, not much better at all, but better nonetheless.
Several months ago I went back to Dr. Silvers. He is so convenient based on where I work, that I couldn’t help but give him another shot. This time I was going to remove some broken capillaries on my nose. He said his laser light machine would do just the trick, and it would take care of the discoloration. It was seriously such a small area, but an obvious one, and with my wedding coming two months later, I wanted to give it a shot. He charged me $ 235 for this. At that time, I also asked him about the mole again. He said something with adults, the mole can come back, and he would scrape it off again. I was concerned about how much it would cost me. Last time, it was about $ 50. He said it should be about the same this time, so I agreed to give it another shot.
Two weeks later, the capillaries were still there, and the mole bigger and more obvious than ever. I went to visit him, and he said the capillaries would go away, that it needed more time. For the mole, he shot it with another one of his laser lights, and injected it with something to make it smaller. It did not get any better, so ultimately I was worse than when I started.
I finally got a bill for his «service», literally 2 full months later. $ 186.06!!! For a tiny little mole that took him 20 seconds to scrape off! WHAT?! I almost had a heart attack. I was very clear with the doctor that I didn’t have unlimited funds to spend on cosmetic procedures, and that the $ 235 already spent that day on the broken capillaries was already a stretch for me. I was certain to make sure this wouldn’t be a costly procedures, and he assured me it wouldn’t be.
After I received my bill, I called his office to see if perhaps there was an error. I called on 5÷2÷2011 and was told that I needed to call back the next day when the billing person was in. I called on 5÷3÷2011 and spoke with Azi at 10:30 am. She said she would get back to me. I waited and finally called back on 5÷19÷2011. She again said she would talk to the doctor and get back to me. Like before, she didn’t get back to me, so I called the office again today, 6÷6÷2011. Azi told me that the doctor denies ever saying that the change would be around $ 50, and that a mole removal is $ 250. UM, he NEVER told me that. I would NEVER have done it if that was the case.
Not only is Dr. Silvers inefficient and unsuccessful in his treatment for my two very basic issues, he is also overly-​expensive and must pay very low wages as his office staff is extremely unprofessional.
I am sick that in 15 minute office visit in which no benefit was received, I am having to pay $ 421.06.
DON’T GO WITH CONVENIENCE! It’s not worth it!

I’ve been to Dr. Silvers for mole removal, leg vein injections and Botox injections. Like the reviewer before me, I also received the «no dairy» spiel from Dr. Silvers. I can overlook this quirk, because Dr. Silvers is a wizard with the needle and is enthusiastic about his work. He explains what he is doing, step by step — sometimes while he is doing it. Some people may not want to know, but I find it interesting. The injections weren’t fun, but they were perfectly placed, and he numbed the area with gel. I did my spider veins on a whim. After he shaved the mole off my face (perfect job — no scarring), I showed Dr. Silvers the veins on my legs. He stated that he did leg injections by the time it took — not the number of injections. Oh boy. He is skillful and QUICK with the needle. I was shaking (I’m kind of a pain wuss) by the time I was done, but the treatment worked 100%. I’m due for another vein treatment, however, next time I’ll take some Advil first.

I was a patient of Dr. Silvers’ for well over a year. I was dealing with a case of stubborn acne, and it seemed that I could not find the proper régime to treat it. The reason I went to Dr. Silvers was strictly because there was little waiting time, unlike my very popular Beverly Hills dermatologist. I figured if I could reduce the aggravation of sitting in the waiting room, it might be worth it. Dr. Silvers believes that ALL skin problems are the result of dairy consumption and that one should immediately switch to Soy and reduce dairy intake. Be that as it may, I will never drink soy milk so I took my chances. My Beverly Hills dermo later told me that dairy IS NOT to blame for my acne, rather it needed to be treated with topical and oral medications.
Bottom line is I spent a lot of money purchasing skin cleaning kits and undergoing laser light treatments in hopes of ridding my skin of acne. But Dr. Silvers never found the cure because he wasn’t treating me with the proper medication. Returning to my original dermatologist was the best thing I ever did for myself and my skin. I am finally medication that is effective and keeps my skin looking and feeling great. I have never been happier.
If you happen to live in Montana/​Santa Monica area and just need a medical opinion, or want an exfoliation Dr. Silvers would probably be a safe choice, but if you require ongoing treatment I would suggest going elsewhere.
