Seaside Medical Practice, Santa Monica

When Dr. Nasimeh Yazdani received degrees from UCLA, the University of Iowa, and USC, her medical quest had just begun. After earning board certification in internal medicine and nephrology, she opened her own practice, where she and her staffers offer services, ranging from general medical care and checkups to nephrology (kidney treatments), anti-aging medicine, and weight management.

As one might expect of a practice located less than a mile from the beach, the office itself isn't exactly cold and clinical. Upon arrival, clients sink into plush leather couches, where they snack on a homemade cookie or sip a beverage. They then head back to a private treatment room done up in pale mauve hues and decorated with silver-framed artwork.
