  • "Dr. Colaco is wonderful. She is very warm and attentive, she takes time to listen to your needs (and in my case reservations) to come up with an optimal treatment plan that you will be comfortable with. Her office is beautiful and clean and the staff is very friendly and professional. I also love that she uses Alto pharmacy delivery service for prescriptions. Makes my life a whole lot easier!"

  • "I absolutely LOVE Dr. Colaço! I came to see her for botox/filler because a friend recommended her. Specifically I wanted to visit her because I heard she is conservative with her approach and wouldn't do anything that's too drastic. Being that it was the first time I did my lips, I didn't want to go too big and was nervous I'd get that duck look that people get when they do their lips. Dr. Colaço absolutely blew me away with the results. My lips look so natural and it actually brought out my cupid's bow that wasn't noticeable before. I love them so much I actually wish I got more filler! I will definitely be back to get them plumped up more. I completely trust Dr. Colaço with my face and all her recommendations/suggestions."

  • "I have had had a long history with dermatologists in New York, Boston, and DC Metro. Masking requirements, stress, and a big weather change with a move to LA threw my skin into turmoil yet again. I found Dr. Colaco’s office via excellent online reviews and my commitment to supporting the practices of my fellow female professionals. She is efficient and knowledgeable about the most up-to-date cosmetic and medical resources for all skin types and as our skin changes with age, genetics, and environmental factors. She and her staff are all warm, welcoming, and whip-smart. I am so glad to have found another wonderful dermatologist (and my skin is happy too)."

  • "Dr. Shanthi was very thoughtful and resourceful. She explained to me different options of treatment so I could make my mind with what it felt comfortable to. She responded every question and encouraged me to ask anything that I needed. She also did her best to even speak in my native language, which is Spanish, so I could understand every alternative. She has a kind assistant group, who also speaks Spanish which was wonderful because it lowers the language barrier. Just one day after my appointment I received access to the patient platform that It’s very well organize and has detailed summarize of my visit. It also, provide information about my condition and treatment. I think it’s a great doctor and overall, the experience was very pleasant."

  • "I arrived early for my appointment expecting to wait if necessary, but I never have had to wait. Dr. Colaco keeps on schedule. I had a skin cancer surgically treated by Dr. Colaco and it has healed remarkably well so now I come in semi annually for a complete body scan because of that history. She is professional with a great bedside manner. I have complete confidence in her ability as she correctly diagnosed my original skin condition that another dermatologist misdiagnosed."

  • "I love this place. Dr Colaco and her team are super friendly. I went in for adult acne and hyperpigmentation. She prescribed the bright pads which she creates, the glycolic face wash, vitamin c serum, Tretinoin, and within 3 months my skin had almost no dark spots and I completely stopped breaking out. I still get really bad hormonal acne though when I stop the regimen and my skin concerns come back (and the regimen is not cheap but it is totally worth the money to feel beautiful and to have a healthy glow)."

    — Chelsea B.

  • "I never write reviews but Dr Aviaz deserves all the recognition. Kindest and most efficient doctor. She casually talks to you as she’s doing her thing and before you know it, she’s done. She moved from another practice and I literally had to do detective work to find her again. New place is really cute, they saw me within two days for an appointment and the staff is awesome as well."

    — Kristina S.

  • "We were very happy to follow Dr. O’Hara Aviaz to her new location as she is an amazing Dermatologist and 3 of my family members have been her patients for more than 4-5 years. Shanthi MD was really good, I liked the modern space and the Assistant Nurse was very kind and gentle with my daughter. - Great place for teenagers for their skin problems, both my kids have been going to Dr. Aviaz for acne. I highly recommend ShantiMD, especially Dr. O’Hara Aviaz !!!"
