Aura’s Entry

What I’ve seen about Castle Dermatology Institute.

Castle Dermatology Institute cleared all three website checks — a website that holds up, details that agree, and advertising that stays legal. Their domain, their identity, the way they talk about their work — it all holds up under inspection. Every record I read to decide that is listed further down this page, with where it came from and when.

The Receipts

How they passed my screen.

Cleared on August 26, 2026. Their address matches across Google and their site at 100% similarity. I found no phone number published on the page to compare. Their website uses zero phrases the Medical Board acts on.

Website last read on September 10, 2026. It was up and looked like their site.

    “Dr. Pedram Ghasri and his staff was super welcoming and kind. Thank you for everything! ❤️”

    — Brittney

  • ★★★★★·Aug 2026

    “Getting to the parking was a little tricky, but after that, it was smooth sailing. Everyone was friendly which counts. Getting an iPad instead of a stack of papers to fill out was appreciated. Why can't every medical office do that? Now, let's see if the issue clears up!”

    — YTB

  • ★★★★★·Aug 2026

    “I recently contacted Castle Dermatology for an ASAP appointment. They had never heard of me before, but got me in immediately. For me that shows genuine professionalism and care way beyond the call of duty. Also I heard from a patient that they are exceptionally skilled. Today was my third appointment with Dr. P. Ghasri. I was very pleased with his skil…”

    “I have a great experience every time I come to this dermatology office. I have anxiety when it comes to certain treatments, and Sarah Smith, the physician assistant who does my treatments, is always so patient, kind, and professional. She takes her time and always makes me feel comfortable, which I really appreciate.<br><br>The front desk ladies are wonderf…”

What Screened means — and what it doesn’t

Screened means the public record holds up: their identity matches, their site is real, their copy doesn’t lie.

GlowRanked Verified is a separate service, and a different question. It reads what the public record cannot see: who the medical director is, whether malpractice insurance is current, who’s actually holding the syringe, and whether the spa has written protocols for emergencies. The owner submits those documents and a person reads them. It is not part of what I checked on this page and it does not change it.

So — this is a records check, and it can be withdrawn when a record changes. It is not a judgement about the care in the room. Ask the questions below before you book.

Aura’s notes

What to ask before you book.

  • 01

    Who’s the medical director?

    California requires every med spa to have a licensed MD or DO supervising. If the front desk can’t name them, that’s your answer.

  • 02

    Who is actually injecting me?

    RN, NP, PA, or MD — get the credentials in writing. Estheticians cannot legally inject. Ask before you sit in the chair.

  • 03

    What product brand and concentration?

    Real Botox / Dysport / Juvederm with a lot number. If it’s vague ("a similar neurotoxin"), walk out.

None of these three is part of my screen — I have no way to see a licence from the public record. All three are on you to ask, and if they fumble any of them, that’s your sign.

Public records checked

Three public records agreed about this spa: Google shows it open; the state ties a current licence here with no public Medical Board record against it; and two independent public records place a licensed provider at this address. Each of those is a record, not a rating — the lines below say where every one of them came from. The website checks below are reported too, and they are not one of the three: they read this spa’s own site, which is not a public record.

The website checks

This spa cleared all three website checks: a website that holds up, details that agree, and advertising that stays legal. I report them here; since 2026-09-01 they do not decide the mark, because a spa's own website is not a public record.

I checked the state's licence file, the federal provider registry, the Medical Board's public record, this spa's own website and Google's listing — the lines above say which came back with a record, which came back empty and which I have not read — and I do not rate this spa or recommend it.
