Monica Bonakdar, MD

I’ve had many treatments from both Dr Bonakdar and Liz (amazing aesthetician) and they are, by far, the best in the business! After going to many low priced Med spas, and other injectors, I’ve found my home here. Dr. B is so knowledgeable, a perfectionist at everything she does, and has the eye of an artist. She is an Allergan trainer and speaker, so she knows the latest and greatest techniques. The staff is warm, caring and there’s always the most beautiful flowers in the waiting room. They also call and check in the next day after your treatments, so they really care about your results. Call them now, you can thank me later :)

The office of Monica Bonakdar is a gem in the Orange County market. I had many facials prior to finding Liz at the Bonakdar Institute and most of them had fallen short of my expectations. I would pay a large sum of money at some of the most highly regarded offices in OC for a mediocre facial (with little to NO results). Once I started getting facials with Liz, that all changed. These facials are medical grade and have undeniable results. I highly recommend trying a facial with Liz.

Dr. Bonakdar and Liz do my treatments and they are both Amazing at what they do! I am always pleased with my results whenever I leave the office. The whole staff is very caring and makes sure to check up on me after my treatments. I will recommend Dr. Bonakdars office for any treatments especially if you want the best of the best!

Was really apprehensive about is, but took a leap of faith and went for it. The worst part is the numbing, but after that it’s not a bad experience at all. She is extremely skilled at what she does and makes you feel at ease immediately. If your looking for this type of procedure, I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Bonakdar really does have the magic touch. She uses the tiniest needle for injection of botox that literally is painless. Best of all—no bruising! With past physicians I have experienced extreme bruising but not with Dr. Bonakdar. She will listen to what you are trying to achieve and do her best. You will not be disappointed!

Dr. Bonakdar is the best in my book for skin care. I’ve been seeing her for over eight years now and I fly in from out of state. Every time I’m in California I come and see her. I am very happy with the results and let her decide what needs to be done. I highly Recommend her. Thank you from Barbara MILNE

I have been going to Dr. Bonakdar for over a decade utilizing her skills and that of her staff for facials, IPL treatments, Botox, and fillers. I don’t want it to be obvious that I’ve had treatments and i’m never disappointed. I recently visited Dr. B for filler and based on her analysis of my facial angles she injected into my upper cheeks to give the areas that were flattening out due to age and loss of body fat more volume. I’m complimented on my skin atleast weekly and just today mentioned my age to an acquaintance and was told, “whatever you’re doing, keep it up”. Oh, don’t worry..., I will.

I've been seeing Dr. Bonakdar for years. She is knowledgeable, helpful, and guides me towards the treatment needed for the results I want. I've moved away from the area and still travel to see her because no one else comes close to her. She is THE best. She is also a kind and warm person, and will spend the time to discuss your options with you to make sure you're in the right treatment plan.

My experience with Dr. Bonakdar over the years has been nothing less than amazing!! She takes her time with every patient - never rushing me or pressuring me to do more. Her work is flawless and very natural looking. I adore her staff who are always very accommodating and knowledgable. I can't imagine going anywhere else!

Dr Bonakdar and her staff are amazing! I selected this practice for my treatment because the staff was so thorough in answering all my questions and had cutting edge technology (I love trying the latest and greatest)! The staff is so kind and my experience was truly great. I’ll be back in 1-month for my follow up photos (already saw a little lift and can definitely feel the difference).
