Dr. Zaks misdiagnosed my skin Cancer. He assured me that it was nothing to worry about. He never mentioned performing a biopsy. Went to another Dermatologist, they said it was cancerous after doing a biopsy. Now, I'm scheduled for surgery. Glad I didn't allow Dr Zaks to cut on me without performing a biopsy.Dr. Zaks prescribed some medication that had no affect on my condition. read more

Dr Zaks is by far the best dermatologist I've been to. He is very knowledgeable and kind and after visiting multiple dermatologists before him with an issue that they couldn't resolve, he managed to help me with it . His office staff is very friendly too and I highly recommend seeing him. My wife and entire family see him now too and are beyond impressed and grateful for his support. read more

Dr. Zaks has been professional, courteous, and thorough regarding my medical issue and the required treatment. He has answered all my questions and concerns during each visit. The front office and telephone staff have been very professional and courteous, also, and accommodating to my schedule. Thank you. read more

Boris Zaks, MD - Dermatologists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dr. Zaks is the best dermatologist I have seen in my life! He is extremely professional and a very friendly doctor. His office staff is equally kind and very efficient. I actually like to go to the office as I know I will get exceptional care from the doctor and front office! A visit is just that like seeing a friend and getting caught up! COULDN'T POSSIBLY RECOMMEND THEM MORE FOR ANY OF YOUR DERMATOLOGICAL NEEDS! YOU WON'T FIND BETTER! read more

Dr Zaks is awesome. Extremely knowledgeable & helpful. I'm thankful my friend found him on Zocdoc & referred me. Thank you for all your help! read more

Highly highly recommend Dr. Zaks. Such a lovely, gentle and professional dermatologist. Seen him twice now and both times a pleasure.

Update: I did state that I was out of town due to my father's passing and wouldn't be returning for an unknown period of time. Anyway, my GP filled the prescription without any hesitation which has subsequently resolved the issue. read more

I appreciate everyone in the office so much! They're always very professional and get the job done!

I used to come to Dr.Zaks a few years ago. Let me first talk about his phone receptionist and office receptionist.The two ladies were the rudest greeters I have ever met.The phone receptionist became angry at me for changing my appointment date.I dont think they realize that they dont own the place they are just employees there haha. Dr.Zaks is a very sweet and well mannered man, unfortunately the only treatment he prescribed me were anitibiotics for my acne over the 2-3 years I saw him.Once I became resistant to the antibiotic I was taking he prescribed me another one.The antibiotics did help at first but the resistance built up soon! He only uses one approach to treat acne which I did not like.When I asked him about accutane he told me no doctor will prescribe that for my type of acne, went to another Dr at Beverly Hills and he knew accutane was the treatment for me! Updated review; The doctor is stating I was a not a patient lol Dr.Boris please look up my name from 2012-2015! Plus how did you look me up with out knowing my last name? Yelp does not reveal my last name! You just got caught in your own lies. Use anything innovative antibiotics, lotions and laser are temporary solutions you dont treat the root of the problem.You also offered me cosmelan peel for my acne scars, at that time I was so young I did not know it is used for patients with melasma! Thank god my mom stopped me from getting it.You called that innovative? read more

I went to Dr. Zaks one year ago for a full body / skin /mole check and exam. During the appointment, I asked if he could please refill the Retin A gel that I have used for many years to help with acne. He agreed and stated he would not only give me a prescription for the Retin A but "also include a refill so that I do not have to come back again next year." My skin checked out perfect, no issues so no need to come back again. Yay! As many of you know, Retin A is only used at night with a "pea sized" amount spread on the face. A year later and I just finished the bottle and went to use my refill on file and it expired 2 weeks ago with the pharmacy. I kindly asked the pharmacy to contact my doctor (which they did) to let him know the prescription expired only 2 WEEKS ago and ask for his approval on the refill. Easy enough, right? When I called the following day, an extremely rude woman answered the phone and said the doctor stated "he would absolutely not refill this prescription and I must come in." I informed her that the reason I had a refill on file was precisely so that I did not have to come in this year. My co-pay is $85 and the prescription is $65 - there was absolutely no reason for me to have to spend gas, time off work, co-pay ($85), parking (they are in Beverly Hills) when I had the refill on file and it had JUST expired 2 weeks ago. She disagreed and apparently she is the boss of this practice. She continued yelling, arguing and talking over me for the next 10 minutes as I desperately tried to explain. I asked if I can please speak to the doctor directly and she replied "he is TOO BUSY to speak to you, he has many patients." Funny enough, when I asked when his next appointment was she stated "tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM" when most dermatologists are booked out 2+ months in advance......hmmm. I was shocked that she continued for 15 more minutes to argue back and forth with me. It was unbelievably unprofessional and arrogant on her part. I advised her that I would be writing a Yelp review and letting the community know about her arrogant and demeaning behavior over the phone with me. And, of course I yelled back at her - I was not going to let this woman just walk all over me. Sad to say, I will not be going back due to this woman who answers Dr. Zaks phones. After reading the reviews it appears others have had the same issues with her. I was always told that the "face of the company" is the person who answers your phone calls since they are the first point of contact with clients. It was appalling. Side note: my pharmacy told me they have also had issues refilling prescriptions at this office with this doctor and this particular staff member. I went to him last year because he had openings, now that is a huge red flag for me. I wish I had seen another doctor, I am in the process of finding a new dermatologist currently but I did get my prescription refilled through my insurance Telehealth today and it arrives in the mail tomorrow. I am so grateful to never have to deal with them ever again. read more

Dr. Zaks and his office were amazing! Generally, I hate going to the doctor since it's usually 95% waiting and 5% BS the internet probably could have helped with *cough cough* every time I go to my PCP *cough cough*. Not here though! When I got to the office at my designated appointment time, the ONLY WAIT I HAD was the time it took me to fill out the forms. During which the woman at reception was talkative and enjoyable. I know, a novel concept. Being seen at the time you were scheduled to be seen and friendly staff. Ring the bells! Send the carrier pigeons! Tell the others! Doctors need to know that this is possible! Meeting with Dr. Zaks was quick and painless and he seemed knowledgable. He provided me with his advice and gave me a prescription that cost $1.43. And he said "this will cure you for now, but if it comes back it's an allergy and you don't need to come back to me, you need to see an allergist." I kid you not. This guy is not running me through the wringer to get insurance payouts. This guy wants me to feel better rather than line his pockets and waste my time. Again, novel idea medical industry! It's literally insane and backwards from virtually ALL medical office experiences I've ever had. I almost want to go back even though I have no need! Hopefully, I won't need to visit any time soon, but I would not hesitate to go back if needed. read more

He shouldn't have a license to practice because all he tells you "Oh, it's nothing" but doesn't tell you anything or give an explanation!! Calls his assistant to the room as if she's going to protect him from me? He stands about 6'5" and I'm only 5' ... give me a break!! What I should have done was insisted that he give me a diagnosis but tells me instead it's nothing??? He's not worth your money trust me!!! read more

I have been to Dr. Zaks three times now and I will continue to come back for any of my dermatologist needs. He is knowledgeable, kind and knows exactly what to do to fix any of your skin needs. He even gives you coupons for your prescriptions! I seriously would recommend him to everyone! read more

Dr. Zaks was an excellent. He performed my annual checkup and was not aggressive about removing multiple moles, only one, explaining why and with great bedside manner. The procedure was easy and he made small talk the entire time to distract from any anxiety / pain. Highly recommend him, very honest and compassionate. read more

I had my first appointment with Dr. Zaks when I was in college. He helped eliminate skin issues that I had been dealing with for several years and no other doctor was able to help me with. Fast forward to now, long story short I moved further away, tried another doctor had a terrible side effect to a topical, returned to Dr. Zaks for help and he was able to not only tell me why I had the bad reaction but also fix it. I learned my lesson not to try other places out of convenience, but go the extra mile to continue working with someone who knows how to care for you. So yes, I highly recommend Dr. Zaks. read more

I thought my last dermatologist was good but Dr. Zaks was amazing. He patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions and removed a small pimple like bump on my nose. I would say his visit was a top 5 best doctor's experiences that I have had. His bedside manner was impeccable and I felt very safe with him wearing an N-95 mask. Do allow for 15-20 minutes extra time to park in one of the free public lots in Beverly Hills (some aren't public and can be expensive.) I also recommend strolling down Rodeo or nearby streets before or after your appointment to grab a coffee or a bite to eat. read more

Dr.Zaks is the best dermatologist I have ever been to. I have been seeing him for almost a year and he has truly changed my skin. He remembers everything about my history and each visit remembers exactly what we spoke about the previous time. He really takes the time to get to know you but at the same time, he is always on time and very efficient. I have referred multiple members of my family and they all feel the same way as I do - we love Dr. Zaks. read more

Great dermatologist. I've bee going to him for a few years now and would definitely recommend.

My husband and I phoned Dr. Zags' office a few minutes after 5pm today (Wednesday, June 9) to ask if new patients were being accepted. A female answered, "Hello?" When I asked if this was Dr. Zaks' medical office, the annoyed female said, "No. You have the wrong number." We double-checked the number dialed and we had dialed the correct number. I think it's time for Dr. Zaks to have a conversation with his front desk regarding its customer service skills, or lack thereof. read more

I wanted to post an update so that people understand what the facts are. In the Dr's response he wrote that since I went in on a Saturday "The phone eligibility department at your insurance company was therefore closed at the time." - I use Anthem Blue Cross and called them asking if this statement was true or not. This statement is not true and inaccurate. With the Dr's response, I have moved my position from the office is just incompetent to I believe this Dr and his office are nefarious in misleading patients regarding if they are covered or not, as they just provided more inaccurate information in the response below. If anyone else has gone through this with this Dr's office, please message me directly. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Zaks for a couple of months now to treat hyperpigmentation I have on my back. He is so kind, has an excellent bedside manner and is very personable! He kindly answers any questions I have and makes the effort to ensure I am happy with my results. The topical medications required with my treatment plan were pricey, so he referred me to a pharmacy where I can get the medication at a lower cost and also sent me home with samples without having to ask. It is evident that he truly cares about his patients. I just completed my fourth chemical peel and I can't explain how happy I am with my results. It truly has been life-changing. If you are looking or a derm in the Beverly Hills area, I highly recommend! read more

Been going here for some mild dermatologist needs and Boris has been awesome! Highly recommend coming herr for all your dermatologist needs.

They changed me 151$ before I even saw a doctor. In 5 min they want to change me extra 50$ for a lab. I did see any prices...in next 2 min the receptionist lady mentioned that is may not covered by insurance and i will have to pay 350$ out of my packet. I guess I'm the first person who is removing a mole in this doctor office. I'm getting concerned about my health having "professional " like that around read more

I just wanted to thank you guys for saving my skin!

Just wanted to write this update and tell you guys that i am still acne free and happy with the amazing treatments i got! read more

Seen Dr. Boris Zaks twice now. Each time he's been extremely nice explaining the situation and options. Both times successful with both diagnosis and treatment, enough said. Very approachable and kind man. Not sure about the comments on the front desk, my experience was painless. No surprises on co-pays or attitude but I guess every insurance is different. All in all a pleasant experience. Very happy. read more

I only go here because Zaks is in my health network. My co-pay is $55 AND you have to pay for parking The building is super old and outdated. The one perk is that there is a little cafe on the first floor which came in handy because I was starving. read more

Called to get information for my mom and the receptionist has a really bad attitude problem. Don't raise your voice on customer, don't want our business, fine we have many options. Bye read more

Every time I have gone into the office I was taken at my appointment time. Dr Zaks is extremely professional and very experienced with skin, especially rosacea. After just 2 treatments I see a huge difference. Really happy I found a doctor who knows how to treat my skin and is punctual, professional, and knowledgable. read more

Seriously, The Best Medical Experience I have had in Years! Not many of us are excited to go to the Doctors office due to usually being sick is primarily the reason for visiting. Dr. Zaks makes me feel comfortable and in Amazing hands who care about my wellness and mental outlook of how the process is going. I have referred my Mom already and I honestly suggest Every and Anyone who needs a caring Doctor who is very well educated and kind bedside manner that I find to be difficult to match. Thank you Doctor Zaks! read more

Best doctor in Los Angeles. Treated me for all my skin problems, very nice and helpful, warm and professional environment. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for better skin. read more

Terrible staff, Rude, Unprofessional. Especially Elvira. I won't go back go back to that office.

Let me start by saying I booked a new appointment for my son last week with this Dr. The lady that answered the phone was a mess and rude, and though I gave her my sons insurance info and she confirmed that they took his type of insurance, I go to find out that when we arrived for our appointment she had actually never confirmed and just said yes to get us in. The second lady that I dealt with was in person and she was just as rude as the first lady I made the appointment with. She had no consideration for our wasted time and took no accountability as she had no idea who took the appointment, though there are only two people who most likely work the front desk. No apologies, nothing, as if it was our fault. What a disservice they are doing to this Dr. as they represent him in every manner. I work in the Luxury Service business and if these ladies worked for me I would immediately fire them! I recommend that no one go see this Dr. because you will have to deal with the dimwits in the front. read more

I've been coming to see Dr. Zaks for many years, and I've never had a bad experience. He is always professional, personable, and efficient. I have referred others to Dr. Zaks also, including my own children, since I trust his judgment and expertise. Highly recommended! read more

Very happy with all the excellent service and results. Great experience for myself, my father in law, and my wife. Highly recommended. Thank you! read more

Dr Zaks and his staff are incredible. Very accomodating and patient. He answered all my questions and seemed to genuinely care about my well being. I never felt like i was being rushed out of there so he could get to the next patient and the few procedures i've had with Dr Zaks all went great. I would highly recommend Dr Zaks to anyone looking for a confident dermatologist. read more

Boris Zaks is the best doctor in California for the skin. He saved my skin and always recommended the best treatments to achieve the best result for me. He is very professional and also has a very professional staff on board and a great office that has everything you need to feel you are getting the best treatment. He is also a very nice individual that cares about his patients and is always honest and always provides the best treatment options and advice! He is the best doctor I have ever had and would recommend him 10/10 to anyone that needs any procedure done on their skin !!!! read more

Updating one more time... I give Dr. Zaks credit- he definitely reads his reviews and cares about whether or not patients are happy. His office called me after reading my frustrated update below and I was able to pick up a check in their office a few days later to make up the difference and FINALLY, the billing is settled. Definitely meant a lot to know how much he cares. Still can't give 5 stars because never once have I gotten an apology or any admission of a mistake (even though it was an easy one to make). The same person who refused to even look into my claim after I was wrongfully charged just kept talking about the money, and while I am greatly appreciative that their office took the time to make things right, she kind of missed the point. Never once was my point of view listened to, never once was it even considered that maybe I wasn't just trying to get out of paying a bill I owed. As always maintained throughout (see reviews below...), Dr. Zaks is a wonderful dermatologist and one of the few doctors that takes insurance in this area. Updating this review happily, as I wish him only the best. read more

Dr Zaks is a super cool guy, I thought maybe before I came in that it might be a bit stuck up because in that area in LA doctors tend to be a little uppity, sometimes condesending, if you dont 'look' like you've got money but he's actually soooo nice and very down to earth..patient..polite.. Very easy to talk to! I love that guy.. He also cleared my skin up and he gives me free samples when I go and refers me places where they will give me better deal for the medication :) He is the best The blonde lady at the front desk in person is nice.. the russian?? lady over the phone i've talked to a few times isn't the best customer service ive had but it isnt a big deal otherwise Dr. Zaks is great overall read more
