I completely disagree with Ashly and Michelle's reviews. I was diagnosed with the same skin rash called Perioral Dermatitis. If Ashly or Michelle had either patience of trust, their healing process may have been more positive. Perioral Dermatitis is one of the most difficult skin rashes to treat, and Dr. Berhoozan was not only encouraging, but also successful in eliminating this problem for me. If you research Perioral Dermatitis, all research says you have to be "patient!" By following Dr. Berhoozans rules I have better skin today then I did before the rash. Although Dr. Berhoozan has "graduated" me from his care, if I ever have any skin issues, he will be my go to! Highly recommended! read more

Dr. B is literally the best Derm in LA. I haven't been able to see him during the past few years because of Covid, I lost my PPO insurance-- which is not his fault, obviously. He is the friendliest and most adorable man and a complete skin genius and wizard! Even though he does a lot of cosmetic high end dermatology and his office looks like a million bucks, he's one of the rare LA premium dermatologists that also does medical dermatology which is what I saw him for. Acne and Eczema. The latter of which can be hard to treat. I also messed myself up with a stupid at home micro-needle and he fixed me right up and didn't make me feel like a jerk! But what I am most thankful for is his care for my husband (at the time) who is very fair and works outside quite a bit. He caught three!! melanomas before they became serious. Two of which were on the face. We were worried that his face would have scars but you can't tell anything ever happened. That's how talented he is!! Before Dr B, my husband had a melanoma on his back and the dermatologist we had at the time dug it out like he was scooping freezing ice cream! There was a huge scar and indentation. So it matters a lot how skilled your Derm is at both the medical aspects and the cosmetic ones. To quote him, "I've never lost a patient to skin cancer!" Thank the heavens!! It was a relief that all we had to do was make sure my hub went every six months for his skin check with Dr B to remain melanoma free. Peace of mind, priceless! I also had a painful skin problem that was chronic and in a sensitive area that's the domain of the lady doctor. My GYN tried everything and he's also a fabulous doctor. But I was in so much pain and so frustrated because we couldn't figure out what it was and I just couldn't live with no diagnosis. Even though this area isn't the area of the dermatologist to take care of, I told Dr B about it and how desperate I was. He said if I was comfortable, he would look at it (along with a female nurse present) and I said please do. Well, he solved it! It was it eczema- the worst! And he solved it. Cured! I had been dealing with that for at least two years and finally he resolved it. No more pain, no more frustration! Not many doctors would be willing to do that, but he did, because he's a badass and a wonderful person! As soon as I get a PPO, I'm running back to him! I believe his office has some parking in the back too. There's a CVS down just down the road and lots of cafes walking distance just up the block if you need a good cup of coffee. Just be careful parallel parking around there because you don't want to dent a G Wagon or a Bentley lol. Hey, maybe you drive one! Smoke 'em if you got 'em! read more

Dr . Behroozan is a fantastic physician, very direct and to the point, which is refreshing. The staff is friendly and extremely professional. I highly recommend Dr. Behroozan. read more

Dr. Behroozan is a decent dermatologist. He addressed my skin issues effectively, but I felt rushed during my appointment. The office staff was friendly, but there could be improvements in wait times. Overall, an okay experience, but I might look for someone who spends more time with patients. read more

Dr. B is incredible. I have nothing but great things to say about him - he's sharp, sympathetic, and efficient. It feels like seeing a good friend. I can't recommend him and his very welcoming staff enough! read more

Rude, impertinent, and ridiculous. Book an appointment and be on time to be told that you are late and be scolded like a child. Some kind of God complex going on with a loss of grasp that they are providing a service and that you are the customer. A ridiculous number of texts and calls to remind you of an appointment that they then don't keep. And the procedure was unnecessary anyway! Scammers. Beware. read more

I felt compelled to write a review because I was so impressed with my experience at Dermatology Institute of Southern California. I am a clinician myself, I never mentioned this during consults because I want to receive the full patient experience. I called to book my skin care check and was so pleasantly surprised by how smooth and seamless the process was. I spoke to a woman named Lindsay. She was so kind and informative. She talked me through what to expect the day of, discussed the directions to the office, parking and how the consult was going to be conducted. I was booked with Jackie, one of the PA's in the office. Upon arriving, I was greeted by a very friendly girl at the front that reviewed my forms with me and gathered my health insurance card. The office ambiance was gorgeous! Jackie made me feel so comfortable and at ease . She has a very warm bedside manner. I expressed concerns over my family history of melanoma, Basal cell and squamous. Also, I (shamefully) admittedly have a history of sun exposure since childhood. She did not shame me, instead confirmed I was in the right place and in capable hands to do a thorough evaluation. She was extremely thorough during my evaluation. She checked every inch of skin, really focusing on my areas of concern. She was also very courteous when evaluating breast and private areas to cover quickly after. I appreciated her respecting my modesty. She found two areas that she communicated she wanted to keep an eye on. She explained the biopsy process and how she would only shave the necessary skin cells, nothing excessive, as to keep in mind the aesthetic of the skin. She explained that breast tissue heals differently, so she was as conservative as she could be when taking skin sample. She thoroughly and clearly explained how to take care of biopsy sites and when to expect biopsy results back. She recommended follow up every 6 months due to my sun exposure and family history. I was so impressed with her bedside manner. I felt so comfortable and heard as a patient. Thank you Lindsay, Jackie and the team at Dermatology of Southern California. read more

Dr. Behroozan and his staff are competent, professional and caring!! Thank you for treating me with care and precision.

Let me tell you. Wow! Christine did a rockstar microdermabrasion on me w a 25% glycolic pass Thank you Christine! :) read more

Daniel Behroozan, MD, FAAD, FACMS - Dermatologists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I first visited the Dermatology Institute of Southern California about a year ago and saw Taylor for mole removal. She walked me through the procedure and expectations and I couldn't have been happier with the results. She is awesome! A year later, I visited Taylor again for a consultation on dermal fillers. I had been considering fillers for years but was afraid that I would look fake or overdone. She gave some recommendations and I scheduled an appointment to see Dr. Behroozan. He thoroughly walked me through the options and what I could expect. He was great about offering cost-effective options while still being able to achieve the result I was after. I'm a chicken when it comes to pain, and he assured me I had nothing to worry about. It's been a few hours and I'm so happy with the results. He addressed my concerns (tear trough and nasolabial folds) and I still look like me, just a little more refreshed! The results are noticeable, but subtle. Thank you Dr. Behroozan and Taylor! read more

Canceled my appointment I'd made 1 year in advance without telling me. Didn't return my calls asking to move the appointment forward, just allowed me to show up knowing there is no appointment for me. I worked with Taylor who is no longer with the business, they didn't bother telling me that either even when I was rescheduling. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Behroozian's office for over 6 years and I've had a great experience every time. Christine does my facials and she's the best! Friendly, punctual, and has made a huge difference in the texture and acne on my skin. If you're looking for a great esthetician ask for Christine! read more

Dr. Behroozan has been my go-to doctor for my fair skin care needs for many years. He is an expert in his field. He and his office personnel are professional and kind - with a special shout out to Ellen, his PA in Beverly Hills. Plus he makes sure his sutures heal with little or no scarring. Highly recommended! read more

I came in because I was referred by my Dr. The staff was great! I saw Jackie the PA and Dylan is her CMA. Both of them were so kind. I needed a skin check for my Melanoma, as a new patient, being undressed in front of someone is usually pretty uncomfortable. Both Jackie and Dylan were very professional and made me feel totally comfortable. I'd definitely recommend this place for your skin care needs. read more

Dr Behroozan, You and your team are amazing. At all times I felt welcomed and comfortable with my surroundings. I was a bit nervous about the procedures needed but you and your team made it so easy. I thank you for that. Sincerely, Sol P. read more

Effective Acne treatment! - After feeling very discouraged by sudden post-pill acne the dermatologist had me see Christine. Since starting to work with Christine all hope has been restored and my acne is no longer running the show. I can't suggest Christine enough for Anyone struggling to manage their acne. It's been transformative for my skin! read more

Dr Behroozan identified a skin cancer right away then scheduled surgery. He is an expert in the Mohs treatment. I am very satisfied with his treatment read more

Dr Behroozan just saved my life! No joke! I have been going to Dr Behroozan for years, after doing a ton of research on the top dermatologists on the Westside. (I live in MDR). Since I am a fair skinned red-head, I get checked every 6 months. I called to get an appointment, but it turned out they were booked and the Doctor was going to be gone for 3 weeks for a family celebration overseas. Thank God there was a last minute cancellation the same day. I took it. While getting my routine exam, the doctor noticed that a mole we checked about 3 years ago on my chest, had changed, he recommended removing it and having it analyzed. Again, thank God he did, because when he called me 2 days later after expediting the lab results, it turned out to be In-Situ Melanoma! Holy SH!T, I thought! Panic set in. He insisted I come to his Beverly Hills office, I raced over there, where he surgically took out more skin around the mole on my chest per proper procedure. He and his staff stayed late to get this done for me...they even had the lab guy waiting to take my "specimen" to UCLA to analyze right away. If this story doesn't "move" you, let me plead to you to go get checked every 6 months, ideally by the best dermatologist in California - Dr Daniel Behroozan! Don't wait, don't make excuses. If I had delayed or the doctor decided for me to wait until he got back & didn't make the extra effort, I could be in a much worse situation & my life could honestly be in danger. HE & HIS STAFF ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST. They even have fabulous products to protect your skin. I owe my life and mental sanity to Dr Behroozan and his team. I am eternally grateful and will always promote their business and services. THANK YOU!!! read more

Christine is amazing! She is so knowledgeable, skilled, and compassionate. I have been seeing her for facials since 2017 and she has transformed my skin. We've done peels & microdermabrasion as well as regular facials. She knows how to support any medication or topicals with her treatments and has also taught me about what products are safe to use in combination. Her treatments helped me heal very bad acne and scarring and I'm so grateful. My acne has cleared but I still come in for regular facials. I missed her during covid! read more

If you want the personal touch, this is not the place! The first visit seemed ok. But then the second and third visit all exactly one month apart, was totally different. He did not remember seeing me before or what the treatment was. I have clients and I read all their info to know what was done before etc, and stay on top of things. The third visit, again, had no recollection of my previous visits/treatment etc, was asked to show him what we were working on in the mirror, as it is so minor, but I'm ocd! Then during the treatment was contradicting that by saying poor nose, like I had been hit in the face with a sledgehammer! It was weird. read more

I've been going to Christine for facials and peels, and she is the absolute best! I can't praise her enough! She has made such a difference in the texture and appearance of my skin. My acne scars shave diminished, and my pores have this beautiful glow now. She has helped me come so far! I get tears thinking about it because I was so insecure about my skin. Now I can leave the house make up free and not worry about what people might think of my skin. Do yourself and a favor and see her! She's a lifesaver! read more

Doctor B is the best! I love him. He is the most knowledgeable dermatologist in Western LOS ANGELES! But His receptionists are the worst! They make me uncomfortable and they can be snarky. I love Dr. B so much I wish he'd get rid of those two. read more

See all

Daniel and his team are great. Cheerful, Professional, and super knowledgeable. Always easy to book and my procedure is over and done with within minutes ! read more

This is the best dermatologist I've ever gone to. He is extremely nice and kind. He goes out of his way to help his patients out. Would definitely recommend going to see him!! read more

My sister and I have been going here for about a year now. Service is always great and everyone is extremely kind. Our esthetician, Christine, is amazing! We (my sis and I) used to have pretty bad acne, but our skin has improved so so much since she started helping us out. The both of us are super thankful! :D read more

I had to wait for an hour before he came in to say " will be with you in 5 min". I left after exactly 5 min since i already saw enough unprofessionalism. Also the forms had hacky sales pitches like " do you have wrinkles you don't like" or " do you fail to lose weight.." I am sure there are better doctors in LA. read more

Dr. Behroozan is the best! He trained at UCLA medical school and started college there at age 16. He is extremely intelligent and gifted in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. Dr. Behroozan graduated summa cum laude from UCLA with a BS in neuroscience and was awarded college honors at graduation for exemplary academic accomplishments. I felt very safe and comfortable seeing him with all the COVID-19 precautions taken at his office. Everyone had N-95 masks, my temperature was taken upon arrival, extra sanitation in rooms between patients, and social distancing measures. He preformed surgery on me to remove body piercings and it didn't hurt at all! I also see him for my Botox Treatments. Preventative Botox in your 20s is a great way to ensure your expression lines don't get deeper. I never bruise, results last 4-5 months because he doesn't dilute it like many other people in the area. For me it's important to have a Board Certified MD Dermatologist Surgeon inject me. He knows the anatomy of the face and what is under the skin as a surgeon. This ensures the best natural looking outcome without complications or droopy eyes. He is a nice man, married with a beautiful wife and 3 sweet kids. He treats adults and is so kind and gentle with children. His Beverly Hills new office is so chic and posh, straight from Vogue Magazine. In addition, he has a beautiful beach office In Santa Monica. I trust Dr. B with all my skin needs! read more

Daniel Behroozan, MD, FAAD, FACMS - "Vogue Magazine" Dermatology Office! Truly gorgeous and ultra posh! - Dermatologists Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Spent over $2K on 3 laser treatments for rosacea with very minimal results afterwards. There's really no "satisfaction guaranteed" for these expensive laser procedures so you need to consider that before having it done. What I didn't appreciate was the Dr. recommending Clear & Brilliant laser for skin texture/pigmentation after I just finished my laser treatments for rosacea. Why would I spend more money on other expensive laser treatments if the rosacea that I came in for wasn't satisfactorily treated? A basic retinol cream would have been a much more affordable treatment, but this wasn't even discussed...Seems like they really push expensive laser procedures in this practice. read more

Dr. Daniel Behroozan was awesome. He is personable and he's a DOCTOR so you feel safe in his hands not like with someone at a medspa. He was gentle and knowledgable. Just book an appointment already! read more

I came across Dr. Behroozan's credentials while searching for an expert in MOHS, and could not be happier in going to him for this treatment. This was my first run-in with skin cancer, and as you can imagine, it was some of the scariest news I've ever received. Dr. B took great care in explaining the treatment, the recovery process, and everything in between. The MOHS treatment itself was smooth and seamless, with Dr. B maintaining a professionalism throughout that really put me at ease. It's clear that he cares for his patients, and the phone call the evening after the surgery to make sure I was ok was icing on the cake. Simply put, Dr. Behroozan lived up to (and exceeded) expectations for my MOHS treatment. I hope to never need the treatment again, but I rest easy with Dr. B in my phone contacts. read more

Dr. Behroozan was extremely nice. I love going to him. He treated me and my mother very well throughout my process. His staff was extremely helpful and nice as well read more

I have been gong to Christine Nguyen, the aesthetician at Dr. Behroozan's office for about 6 months for microdermabrasion treatments. On our first visit she went over some treatment options for my concern with dark spots and acne scarring. Christine is very knowledgable when it comes to the skin and takes her time to ensure a thorough clean each time I see her. Any questions I have, she is able to provide an answer with the knowledge to back it up. In the months since seeing her for treatments, I have seen a noticeable difference in the appearance of my skin. I only trust Christine to deal with my skin and would recommend her and Dr. Behroozan's office to anyone! read more

I made an appointment with Dr. Behroozan to have an annual skin check and in anticipation of seeing him in the future for facial redness (roseacea) etc. His office is just a few blocks from my home. However one of the front desk personnel was really rude. Additionally the doctor was initially warm and welcoming, until he found out I wasn't going to spend thousands at that appointment. I had an HMO at the time so was paying out of pocket for the consultation. The consultation was around $400 and there was no offer of a credit for future work done. He may be a great dermatologist but blowing someone off after 10 minutes because they aren't going to spend a lot at an initial appointment for me is closing the door to any future appointments. read more

I visited Dr. Behroozan for dark spots on my face and upper lip. I bought a 4 pack of treatments for the clear and brilliant laser at his office and it's nothing short of amazing. My skin is lighter, brighter, and has a naturally dewy glow. The first treatment out of the 3 I had done so far wowed me the most. It's truly life changing when you realize how neglected your skin can be. Now, the dark spots are barely there and I can go out make up free. One more treatment and I'm good to go I think. I also bought the vitamin-CE serum from Dr. Behroozan's brand of skin care products. It hydrates as well as treats dark spots. The polish scrub is also a very good and unique product I've been using once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate my skin. Love his office and team. Thanks so much for helping me out doc! read more

I used to like the doctor as one of the few dermatologists who was not primarily focused on cosmetic procedures (which are most profitable) and was still practicing basic dermatology. No longer! He has decided to focus only on surgeries and cosmetic procedures which are profitable and abandon totally basic dermatology. It is very challenging nowadays to find a dermatologist who is still interested in practicing medicine. This is not even the reason for my complaint. When I booked an appointment for a dermatology problem, I was never informed of this. I even called to be on a waitlist because I urgently wanted to be seen and in the 3 conversations I had with the receptionist about seeing the doctor, there was no mention he no longer sees dermatology patients. When I attended at the office, I saw all the new ads regarding cosmetic procedures and was wondering who was performing them. I was then told that the doctor performs them and I could talk to him after I met with someone (whose name I didn't recognize). Upon questioning I was told for the first time that I was seeing a physician assistant, which was totally not productive for a skin issue which needed the expert experience of a dermatologist. In dermatology it's always experience which counts most - one look can provide an accurate diagnosis with experience. I was very upset and another lady waiting in the room expressed the same frustration. I was asked if I wanted to just cancel the appointment, but I had waited for days for the appointment and took time from work and my schedule for the appointment and could not afford the time to just come and leave. I saw the PA and of course, she was of no help at all, even though pleasant enough. It's really very unprofessional and deceptive practice unbecoming for a physician. There is no respect for patients' time or intelligence. read more

Dr Behroozan is the best! He's so nice and so is the staff. He's a great doctor- not trying to scam and push anything onto the patient. 1000% recommend!!!!!!! Also takes insurance read more

New patient visit to the skin institute today in BH. I met with Taylor Dr Daniel's PA. She was very knowledgeable, thorough, understanding and proactive in providing me the right treatments for my skin conditions and provided expert medical suggestions in addition. The staff was very thorough and tech savvy taking notes throughout, and made sure I was following a proper skin care regimen. Staff desk assistants at both locations very friendly and helpful from when I initially called, walking in, leaving etc. Nice offices. COVID Safe all procedures followed to keep everyone safe. Will definitely come back! Thanks so much. read more

I have been going to Dr Behroozan and his Board Cerified aesthetician Christine for over 2 years now and couldn't be happier with my experience. Prior to COVID, I was seeing Christine almost every month and my troubled skin has never looked better. Christine made me feel at ease since my very first appointment with her and I honestly don't think I would trust my skin to anyone else. She is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and I always leave my appointments feeling satisfied. During the few months that the office was closed due to the pandemic, my facials with Christine were one of the things I missed most from my regular routine. If you are looking to improve your skin, whether it is extractions, recommendations on products, or more intense facial peels, I highly recommend you go see Christine! read more

I've been going to Dr Behroozan for Botox for 4 years now. He is the ONLY doctor I trust with my face. I made the mistake of going elsewhere once and ended up bruised... and still wrinkled. He's done my forehead, 11's and eyes. If I ever get brave enough to do my lips, it will 100% be by him Dr Behroozan makes it almost painless and I NEVER look frozen. I was super nervous the first time (I made the mistake of Googling Botox horror stories) but Dr Behroozan and his team totally put me at ease. Bottom line: I RECOMMEND HIM TO EVERYONE. read more

My skin has completely transformed ever since I have been seeing Christine at Dr. Behroozan's office! I had very dark hyper-pigmentation on my neck, as well as acne scars all over my face. I had never done a chemical peel before and was nervous, but it is very safe and my skin has never looked this good! After 2 VI peels, my overall skin tone, hyper pigmentation, and acne scarring have improved tremendously. I cannot wait to do my third VI peel soon. I am really happy with my peel results and we have slowly been able to get my skin in a great place over the past year. Christine really cares about your skin and is very quick to respond through email about any concerns/questions you may have. Highly recommend her! Thank you so much Christine! read more
