Allan S Wirtzer, MD

Had my first visit with Dr Wirtzer. The staff was vitreous, the Dr gave me a detailed consultation, answered all my questions, even the silly ones. I am planning to see him in a couple of weeks for a procedure. Will give an update after that.

I started seeing Dr. Wirtzer almost 10 years ago when I was looking for someone with Silikon 1000 (medical grade injectable silicone) experience. Silicone is essentially permanent, and Dr. Wirtzer’s decades of experience made me as comfortable as I could be.
I should add that I am also an esthetician and a cosmetic surgery technician, so I’m naturally particular about cosmetic procedures and the physicians I see. With all the «inside» information I had from working with various cosmetic surgeons around Los Angeles, and growing up here, I determined Dr. Wirtzer was the doctor for me.
I am more than happy with my results, I’ve only had about 4 treatments to achieve the results I want (I do lips and cheeks), and will probably schedule another appointment soon.
I’ve also seen Dr. Wirtzer for other dermatology related concerns, and he’s absolutely fantastic. He’s very kind and warm. I’ve not had much of an issue with wait times at his office, and parking is usually pretty easy. It’s just a quick drive North of West LA, so all those fearful of driving to «the valley» need not worry– you’ll get here quicker than you could get to West Hollywood.

The best experience I have ever had at a doctor’s office. I loved Dr. Wirtzers bedside manner, attention and absolutely beautiful office. Went for my child’s skin issue, returning for myself. Also, his assistant whose name I forgot, maybe Aura? Was very nice.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wirtzer for more than a decade. He truly is an artist and also understands the long term value of his patients. He removed unsightly «ice pick» acne scares from my face about ten years ago. I was the best thing I ever did. He is also the only person I would trust with acid and a laser to my face. I am a hairstylist and trust to refer my clients to him.

Dr Wirtzer is a nice guy and a fine doctor, BUT, unless you plan on WAITING 1 to 1.5 hours for the doctor to see you then this may not be the place for you. Honestly, I have better luck with my appointment times at the DMV !
I understand that Dr Wirtzer wants to give time to his patients, but he is also running a business. And to assume that the people paying him to sit far too long in his waiting room have nothing more important to do is just plain rude. After all, if you made a reservation at a restaurant but were not even seated for over an hour after your reservation time, it’s very unlikely you would return. The same goes for a salon.
I realize that they must seriously overbook him because they now offer express pay after your visit. Before, after seeing the doctor, you would have to stand in a line waiting to pay for your visit. But now you can leave your credit card on file and they will charge your card and let you know later what you were billed.
In the end, I gave Dr Wirtzer 2 stars instead of 1 because he is a fine doctor… when you do finally get to see him.

Dr. Wirtzer and his staff are extremely professional. In particiular, Dr. Wirtzer is truly a wizard of dermatology and cosmetic procedures! Having been to some of the top Dermatologists in Chicago, New York and Beverly Hills, I would say without any doubt that Dr. Writzer is heads and shoulders above all of them in knowledge and skill.
He’s not only technically and medicall astute, but a truly caring professional, something lacking in our celeb crazed world. Each and every one of Dr. Wirtzerl’s patients is treated as if they were the most important person in the world and no matter what they’re seeking, they receive the best service and expertise available.

Please save yourself some aggravation. Do not come and see this Dr. He is stuck up, snooty, rude and actually did not do a very good job on a few procedures I had.
