This guy is tops! He immediately recognized diagnosed an additional acute condition I had and instead of milking me for a $500 biopsy he personally telephoned a top MOHS surgeon, Dr. Rotunda and advised him of my condition. Dr. Lauber has yet to take a dime from me yet called me at home on a Friday night (39 minute call) to give advice about my post-surgery condition. Be advised, he is VERY direct and does not pull punches but do not let this fool you, he has a heart of Gold. If you want a Doctor who will treat your condition as if you were a member of his family this IS your guy. If he cannot fix you, he will tell you and refer you to someone who can fix you. When you call his office HE will likely get on the phone himself and get a rundown on your condition so he can determine if he can treat you or not. Be advised he is VERY direct but I like the truth, not smoke & mirrors.

Dr Lauber is the real deal. He is an honest and caring profefessional and has a great sense of humor too! Tip: bring him some food and he might see you on a Sunday.

I found out I had HPV just over 3 years ago and went to 3 so-called “specialists” before finding Dr. Jeffrey Lauber. First, I went to an urologist who diagnosed me and performed laser treatments, which only led to the spread of the virus to other areas. I endured laser treatments for about 6 months but ended up leaving this physician after one laser treatment was performed without a local anesthetic. As you can imagine, I jumped about 2 ft in the air! In any case, I later found out later that lasers should not be used to treat HPV because the virus can become airborne leading to infection in nearby skin areas.

I then went to see a dermatologist who wanted to examine the area from about 2-3 ft away. He obviously knew nothing about the disease and was afraid the virus would somehow leap from my skin and infect his forehead. All he wanted to do was freeze my entire penis. Needless to say, I left promptly and never went back. So, not knowing where to turn, I found Dr. Arani on Google and saw that HPV treatment was his specialty. I quickly became hesitant as I approached his office because it is in a bad part of town. But, I remained optimistic thinking I had no other options. He spent virtually no time listening to me, examined me for about 2 minutes, and rapidly came to the conclusion that previously treated areas required additional treatment but for a very high cost of $2,800. He also insisted that I get the HPV vaccine for an additional $400 (HPV vaccines can be purchased for ~$200 per shot – 3 shots required over 6-month period to be fully protected). Left with little choice and strongly desiring a cure, I went along praying that the psychological torture would be over once this was all said and done. He promised that this treatment would be all that I would need and that there would be little scarring following the procedure. After 1 ½ months after the procedure, I noticed several suspicious areas. I felt hopelessness; I felt robbed. And, worst of all, I was coming to the realization that no one knew how to properly treat HPV. And, I had already endured 2 years of treatment…

Then, I found Dr. Jeffrey Lauber on the web! Again, strongly desiring a cure, I called Dr. Lauber and explained my case. He was extremely knowledgeable and willing to see me. He listened and counseled me about my experiences but did not insist that I come see him unless I felt comfortable doing so. After several weeks thinking about my situation, I decided to see him for treatment. His office is in Newport Beach, California, and in a very safe, professional, and clean building/office space. He welcomed me with a hand shake and listened to my case once more. He examined me and quickly put me at ease. Basically, he treated me like a human being. Dr. Lauber took a holistic but minimalist approach to my treatment. Not only did he want to preserve my health but also that of my wife. I informed him that I was (and remain) happily married and that I made it a point to inform my wife of my case when I was originally diagnosed, and involve her in my treatment process. Dr. Lauber informed me that he does not treat women but that he knows a very skilled physician (one he trusts) working nearby who PROPERLY screens and treats women for HPV. He further counseled me that certain strains of the HPV virus can cause cancer and most at risk are women who do not get screened and/or get their annual pap smears.

He collected a sample of a suspected area for biopsy (as he explained should always be done to ensure that you do not have a cancer-causing type of the virus) and educated me on my condition. The sample was sent to UCLA for analysis and fortunately came back negative for high-risk (cancer-causing) HPV but it did confirm I had a low-risk form. He put me on a regimented 6-month treatment plan to treat any unseen areas and was always available to see me whenever I was concerned about something. And, when I mean he is available, he really is…he TRULY cares about his patients and many of his patients call him years later just to let him know how they are doing. Dr. Lauber is a Board Certified Dermatologist who graduated from a reputable medical school (University of Southern California) and completed his residency at Tulane University. Most importantly, he focuses exclusively in treating HPV. He has been doing it for years and there is almost certainly no one in the world who knows how to PROPERLY treat HPV more than Dr. Lauber. Noteworthy is he sees patients all the time who think they have HPV only to find out they have some other benign skin issue.

I wasted 2 years of my life and a great deal of money going to amateurs…I sincerely wish my first and only physician had been Dr. Lauber. I am now HPV free and I took steps to make sure my wife was screened and free of the condition. My wife and I have regained our lives all due to the caring expertise afforded us by Dr. Lauber!

I noticed some tiny bumps that I thought I should get checked out. I initially went to Dr. Arani in L.A. he was unable to properly diagnose my problem, saying it could be anything from a rash to HPV. Even though he did not have a proper diagnosis, he wanted to proceed with treating the area, at a cost of several thousand. I was uncomfortable with his uncertainty so I decided to look for help elsewhere. I was able to find Dr. Lauber, a state certified dermatologist. I called, left a message and to my surprise, he himself returned my call. He was very blunt about what he needed from me and how the process would go. The visit was the best visit I've ever had with a doctor. His office was very private, I was the only patient there. He is very welcoming, hilarious and treats you not only as a patient but as a friend. Dr. Lauber checked me out and was able to diagnose my problem as a harmless, non-contagious skin condition which is nothing more than a cosmetic issue at worst. He said, any dermatologists would be able to diagnose that a football field away. I went in there feeling defeated, depressed, anxious and uncertain of my future but came out feeling like confident, content, happy and best of all, normal. If you value your money, body and peace of mind, don't make the same mistake I did, call Dr. Lauber first. He saved me thousands in dollars and tons in grief. Thanks Dr. Lauber!

Dr. Lauber is the best dermatologist. He has compassion for his patients and actually spends time with them. He is extremely knowledgable and well known. He made my daughter's face beautiful again after she suffered from acne. A+++

I had a case of warts on my package that other treatments seemed to make worse. Visits to other Dermatologists, MD's specializing in STD's, and home remedies were all a waste of time and money! I found Dr. Lauber on the web and gave him a call. He was prompt in his responses, very flexible in appointments, discreet, honest and fair. My case was 'difficult' but his treatment worked and several months later I'm SOOOOO HAPPY to report, the warts have NOT returned!!! I wish I had him treat my condition a LONG time ago. If you suffer with these nasty things, do not be afraid to spend the time and money to see this guy.............it will be well worth every penny for the relief you'll enjoy after treatment. Let me add this as well...........compare his price with the 'other' guy in Los Angeles. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
