Hi. So I am not a patient but I had a personal encounter with Dr. Lancer. I got injured at the gym (level 3 sprain) and I wasn't doing too well. I was feeling very lightheaded and my vision kept coming in and out. Dr. Lancer came out of his way, as a bystander, and had me lay down (so I don't hit my head in case I faint) and helped elevate my leg. I am so grateful for him! read more

Lancer Dermatology -- 440 N Rodeo Dr I've been a patient of Dr. Lancer's for more than 20 years, and I can say without hesitation: he's in a league of his own. A true perfectionist, he blends medical precision with an artist's eye and a scientist's discipline. His understanding of skin -- how it ages, reacts, and regenerates -- is almost intuitive. Dr. Lancer doesn't just create skincare routines; he curates entire transformations. Every product and protocol he prescribes feels tailored with surgical accuracy and luxury in equal measure. His results aren't quick fixes -- they're long-term investments in your skin's future. Yes, he carries a Beverly Hills price tag -- but after two decades of luminous, camera-ready skin, I can honestly say he's worth every penny and then some. read more

Went in with bad CO2 laser damage (from another doctor) that Lancer said he could fix. Left with dark melasma all over my face after 2 "M" peels & products. Then was told to go see another doctor $10k + later. Their aesthetician Natalie is wonderful. She helped my skin get to the "before" pic. Thank you Natalie! read more

I went to Lancer dermatology for hyperpigmentation. I had to beg to see Dr Lancer post treatment and was charged money every time regardless of post treatment concerns. My treatment did not go well, and the remedy was always to spend more money on the lancer products - thousands of dollars and the hyperpigmentation not only did not get better, but was worse. The nurses in the office, most not registered nurses, were handling questions and approaches that the dermatologist should've had firsthand in. more and more products every time, and when I sent them pictures of the problem, they acted as if everything was fine. The nurses dismissed most of it and advised me to buy more products. There are areas of hyperpigmentation that are much worse than when I went in for treating hyperpigmentation at least $5000 to date spent read more

The worst experience ever!! There are so many professional dermatology doctors who actually do care about you not only about your money !!! This selfish doctor only gave me 3 minutes of his time ! Only cares about money !!!!! Will never recommend this racist and Unprofessional place read more

I have had very positive experiences with Dr Lancer and his nurse, Abigail, who exhibits professional and caring interpersonal skills. She performed the Harmony and Halo treatments and then followed up everyday for a seven days while healing (including the weekend). Both the doc and Abigail showed me pictures of my face (before and after) and the results were amazing! My daughter and wife both comment on my improved skin. Dr Lancer trains his medical staff well and they explain the prescribed skin regimen in detail. His website explains all active ingredients which are more natural than many ingredients found in other skin care products. Highly recommend read more

Dr. Lancer is hands down the best dermatologist in the country. If you have a skin problem, he will know how to solve it. HIs staff are friendly and warm. His office is beautiful. read more

While Dr Lancer is a knowledgeable dermatologist, I did not have a good experience with Lancer Dermatology and would not recommend them. The focus appears to be on maximizing how much they can earn from you per hour, vs patient care. Dr Lancer does not do the laser treatments himself and relies on assistants, who are condescending and treat patients like you children. After each appointment, you are told to buy expensive products -- which, after checking the ingredients on them, you can fairly quickly determine are up-charged by a factor of about 5-6x what you can find similar quality products for at Amazon. Before my last appointment, my daughter tested positive for Covid and was set home from school that day. I let them know right away and took a PSR test and told them I could come later in the week if it was negative, or do a video appointment. I was told that I should take a fast test and just go in or pay $400 for a fifteen minute video appointment, for which I might need to wait for some time before the doctor showed up. When I told them I was most comfortable waiting for the PSR test results to come in, they told me they were still going to charge me a fee -- despite it being ethically inappropriate to charge a fee for covid-related reasons, especially given the thousands I had paid for treatments up to this point. I had to push hard to get out of the fee -- which felt pretty uncomfortable given the circumstances. I have had much better experiences with other dermatologists and other kinds of service providers, with similar academic and professional backgrounds, who seem to really care for their patients and not just the last dollar. My feeling is that Dr Lancer relies on a celebrity clientele who doesn't care about whether treatments are heavily up-charged. If this isn't you, I'd advise looking elsewhere. read more

Absolute Fraud. Waited 2 hours even though I had an appointment. Finally he comes and he barely spends any time, then he sells me his products and charges the hell out of me and the problem never got solved. Don't be fooled by the media and marketing. read more

Dr lancer is a very talented doctor. His products are excellent as well. I don't understand the bad reviews I see here. His skin products are better than any others I've tried. He has always helped me to look and feel great with whatever issues I've brought him throughout the years. I'm very grateful for him. read more

After my appointment today, I can report that Dr. Lancer is still the best dermatologist out there. I was concerned after reading some of these negative reviews that he may have lost his golden touch. Not the case. As he has done in the past, he caught some pre-cancerous spots, put me back on a path to diminish newly emerged sun spots/hyperpigmentation and administered premium Botox around my eyes - I was in and out within 30 minutes. Dr. Lancer is the only doctor I trust with my face, neck and chest for good reason: I always get amazing results. read more

Greatest Dermatologist ever! We adore this guy and his staff! the most friendly people that you will ever meet! He has seen my whole family for various skin issues, and has been just amazing in calming those problems. Kat Rudu does my facials, and I must recommend her new Jettsetter facial! GOOD STUFF!!! Yeah, he's in BH and yeah he's been on TV. BUT HE SERIOUSLY KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING! Dr. Lancer is not some BOTOX slinging yahoo.....um..... yeah you've seen those guys...... Ya know what, he's great full stop. If you need a derm this is it! PERIOD! :) Need a facial? KAT RUDU!!! Me loves her! read more

Anyone that goes to Dr. Lancer knows he is the best. The best doctor, so knowledgeable, so respectful. I've been a patient for almost 5 years I believe and know this as well. I decided to go somewhere else for Botox just to try something new. WOW was that a mistake. I left without treatment. After going to the best you will never find better. The nurses and staff are also amazing. read more

Expert at everything he does. Helped me get rid of scar tissue caused by another dermatologist that no one else could fix. It's pricey, but you really do get what you pay for. read more

How can you not love a doctor who helps you look 10+ years younger than you actually are with only his insane medical knowledge and fantastic beauty products? I would give him 10 stars, if I could. read more

Lancer is the absolute best. When you see the name and the address you'd should expect the price tag. I visited three highly regarded dermatologists before visiting Dr. Lancer; none came up with adequate solutions. Lancer and his team address your problems and care about you as a patient. But the absolute best part of this practice is RPK. She's the esthetician and she is wonderful. She also comes up with more holistic solutions for your skin issues. I think her treatments and facials are one of the most effective aspects of this practice if you are recommended them. Now, some people are critical of his product recommendations and I do agree that some people won't benefit from some of his products. But overall, I find that they work, especially the products exclusive to the practice. They definitely go beyond what can be found in the regular product range. **I've been a patient for four years.** read more

This guy is a fraud. He wants to steal your money and sell his fake dermatologist products which are fake and made me break out - I can't believe he made me believe I needed 2k of his shit and when I went back so another one of his dermatologists (he's too good for me, I'm not a celebrity or anything because my money or crypto isn't as good as theirs) and she just made it worse and charged me another fee without my authorization! When I asked for a refund as this was for a correction and not authorized he seriously sends a letter stating I can't be a patient anymore. The only reason why I even put one star is because the woman with the turban who I seriously sense doesn't want to be there is a fucking magician. I wish I still had her email and number and hope she leaves to start her own practice. I'd seriously finance that. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE. They are all about hitting you with fees and more fees! They will NEVER treat you on first visit. The tactic is to collect as many office visits they can. So they make you come back on second or third visit only will they treat you. To make matters worse I had fillers and they had to be redone in less a week....look like they used water. Yes, they did charge me for the syringe they used! They act like they care, but for them its about pushing all the products. I spent 4k and they wouldn't waive my 2nd time office visit!!!! read more

Brought my wife in for a consultation and I was very impressed by Dr. Lancer's expertise and recommendations. He is very direct which I appreciate, and is the very best at what he does. They are not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. I highly recommend Dr. Lancer and I'm confident he will take care of you. read more

Dr. Lancer is a very knowledgable man but you must do your own part and ask questions. He isn't like some doctors that like to talk a lot. He is very short and to the point but will take the time to explain things if you ask him to. The stand out at this office is his nurse Michelle, she is VERY helpful and empathetic. She takes her time to fully explain anything Dr. Lancer briefly mentioned. She is also very professional and listens to your concerns and address them. Make sure to request her to be your nurse when you visit this office. It will greatly improve your experience there!! read more

The office is immaculate. One of the nicest I have seen. The staff is very straight forward. Once you make it beyond the front desk they get friendlier - until the dreaded product pitch. Dr. Lancer is a solid dude. He's quirky and intelligent, but is efficient. He has a good sense of humor if you're capable of sensing it. Otherwise I could see why he would come off cold to some. The dreaded product pitch by the assistant is brutal. They blur the line between what has been prescribed and what are add-on products. They threw a good $1,000 of products at me as if it was the recommended package by the doctor. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I know nothing about skin care products, so I carefully weeded out the useless products as best I could and still left with $400 worth. If I can't trust my doctor than I won't go to them. So I bought the essentials that were recommended based on trust. read more

Products did NOT work. The Method, Lift Serum Intense, Retexturizing Cream, and Intense Night Treatment...and a healthy diet. I've seen ZERO changes in my skin after 3 months. I emailed them and Makenzie said it would take 6 months to see changes. That's not what your website claims! She could not have cared less about their products not working. They're simply in it for the money and have zero concerns about the customers that have invested in their line. Dr. Lancer should be embarrassed. UPDATE: One of the employees, Jonathan, was kind enough to reach out to me after seeing my review. He asked what he could do to help. I told him I wanted better skin and I was so disappointed the products I invested in did not work. I told him I wanted Dr. Lancer to look at photos of my skin and give me recommendations. He got back to me and let me know that while Dr. Lancer could not do that (apparently that violates HIPAA, but I disagree), he was willing to work with me to have my money refunded. He also was kind enough to send me a couple free samples of other products they have, which I thought was generous. Jonathan seemed to genuinely care and provided excellent customer service despite the Lancer line not being the right match for my skin. Thumbs up to him (and only him). read more

Stay away from this place, I came in with clear skin and his products are a scam! He prescribes/ sells products from his line about 10 of them on your first visit and half of them will cause a problem only for you to comeback so he can "try to fix " it for you by selling more products that will further cause problems I cannot begin to describe to you how much pain his products caused me :'( read more

I'm writing this review based on Nurse Kristy. I followed her from Santa Monica to Working for Dr. Lancer in Beverly Hills. Kristy is a 5 star laser expert. ***** I had the halo done with her twice. The results were incredible and I've done every kind of laser, peel, and injectable imaginable. This is somewhat of a new laser and I give 1/2 the credit to Nurse Kristy of how professional she was and 1/2 the credit to the Halo. There was not one spot on my face that was undone. It was like she was the patient getting the procedure done herself. Kristy was worth every penny. There are a lot of people who say they are professionals, but not like Kristy. Please feel free to ask me any questions. read more

Lancer Dermatology - You can see the peel. The results are amazing, Go see Nurse Kristy!! - Dermatologists Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Easy appointment process, friendly and knowledgeable staff. My skin looks amazing with their guidance and Dr. Lancer's expertise!

The lady on the phone, she has a slight accent, very very very rude, I was being patient and trying to understand she kept raising her voice. Not acceptable, if this is how they treat you on the phone, what makes me want to walk into the office? read more

Dr. Lancer is an aesthetic dermatologist and is not a good fit for people dealing with more serious skin conditions. Some have noted in their reviews that he and his staff seem to have lost sight of the fact that they are in the medical profession- this is an accurate assessment. Dr. Lancer can be rude, even mildly insulting to patients. BUT he is very knowledgeable about aesthetic dermatology and can be helpful if spending large sums of money is an option. read more

I found them through trying his 'Method' products from Sephora that I immediately fell in love with. Because if Victoria Beckham is using it, sign me up! Although the products worked well, I wanted to visit the office for other pressing skin issues I was dealing with. From the moment I step into the office, I felt pretty relaxed. Not only were the staff friendly, but I had my millions of skin questions thoroughly answered! I didn't know I was supposed to take my makeup off before exercising because it clogs pores. Oops. I got a facial from the oh-so-kind Louise who gave my face a needed exfoliation. I was also recommended a few alternative products, which I may consider in the future. Also, most importantly, free valet parking. Woohoo! read more

If you want the Best Dermatologist you know whom to go, Dr. Lancer. He is not only professional, but has the best knowledge and care for his patients. I did take my daughter to other dermatologists for acne problems, but all they do is try different medications without even knowing what is important for the patient. Dr. Lancer spends a long time explaining in details, gives you knowledge and his honest opinion. The office is spectacular, office staff is the best, and special thanks to Pam(manager) who is super helpful and kind. You know you are in best hands with Dr. Lancer, I would recommend him highly! read more

I bought the 3 items we saw on the Opra Show, and the first time I used it, my skin felt 100% better, and the next day I could tell a difference. It is worth every penny! Lois read more

I had my first consultation today - I was able to ask all of my questions and receive thorough explanations. It is very clear Dr. Lancer loves what he does - One does not need to be famous to feel cared for there. The doctor and the office were all lovely. They did not hard sell the skin products offered. Though I did take some home and look forward to trying them out. I had a great experience and look forward to future visits. The prices are in line with other Beverly Hills offices . . . a luxury that is worth it if you can manage it. read more

The staff are rude and oblivious - much more concerned with serving their god, Dr. Lancer, than actually extending themselves in any way to their patients. We had an actual medical emergency and they were SO concerned with protecting the doctor from an extraneous call that they gave us bad advice that could have resulted in death. DO NOT GO HERE if you have actual medical needs. I could never recommend or endorse this office. They are arrogant and dismissive and I think they forgot they are in the medical profession. I would give zero stars here if that was an option. read more

I CREATED A YELP ACCOUNT SPECIFICALLY TO WARN PEOPLE OF THIS DOCTOR. I'M SORRY I EVER WENT TO DR. LANCER. I have always had nice skin, but decided I should put it in the "best" hands to keep it that way. After hearing all the hype, I made an appointment. On my first visit, the doctor said I needed microdermabrasion and several hundred dollars worth of products. After my consultation, I was handed off to a very unenthusiastic nurse who did the "peel". Unfortunately, I cannot remember her name, but I do remember that she was Asian. Afterward, I asked to speak to the doctor again because I had some concerns about sunscreen and my past sensitivity to it. He could not be found. Another nurse (not Dr. Lancer, whom I desperately wanted to consult, or the unenthusiastic woman) returned and condescendingly told me I had to wear sunscreen (yeah, I know, lady, but I'm sensitive to it and want to discuss with the doctor!). She then put on her glasses and came 5 inches from my face and said, "oh yeah, you will be sorry when you're my age." I was extremely insulted and felt that she was not listening to my concerns. She successfully bullied me into using a supposedly gentle sunscreen, and my freshly peeled skin had an allergic reaction. I wish I could remember her name. She was tall, white, loud, and wearing a towel like a turban both times I was there (I'm assuming she was having treatments done on those days). When I went back in to see the doctor about my rash, he said I needed ANOTHER peel and that the rash was not from his products, but a possible thyroid problem I might be having. Again, I trusted the famous doctor and did what he said. Over time, as I have thought about the situation, his deflection has really bothered me. I believe that this second peel performed on my inflamed skin did great damage. My pores are now enlarged and my skin has never fully recovered. After going back to my old dermatologist, a simple application of a steroid cream cleared up the irritation. Obviously, I discontinued the use of any Lancer products. I feel extremely taken advantage of and unheard by Dr. Lancer and his office. Another friend of mine got the same rash from his products, and her old dermatologist had her ice her face and told her to throw away all new products. I strongly would dissuade anyone from going here. The repercussions of my two visits have been heartbreaking. read more

my boss took me to dr. lancer because i was complaining about my skin. it was almost impossible to get an appointment, but we did, somehow. i sat in the waiting room and i saw the pussycat dolls and robyn anton with her mom. i thought if they were coming here, this must be good! dr. lancer is nice and he looked at my skin and basically told me i suck at skin care. i spend too much time in the sun. i don't use the right products. blab blah. then he left. it saw him for like, 3 minutes. then the nurse came in and gave me a big huge list of the products i need and told me how to apply them. then, i went to leave and they gave me 7 products, instructions and a $650 bill. i'm still not sure what part of that was the doctors visit! i almost choked on my own shock. i paid for it, went home and followed the instructions. my skin turned red for a few days, and then it started changing! the products really made a HUGE difference. the doctor didn't really do much. i would recommend that you go just for the products. they have to be purchased through him, unfortunately. but it's worth it. read more

I am warning every one of my friends about Dr Lancer only to discover they have had their own problems with him. The truth is coming out. I am in my 50s and had excellent skin because I didn't mess with it. I told Dr Lancer I didn't even get facials because they were too harsh on my delicate skin. The only real lines I had were a few above my upper lip. Never smoked, they were just there. He used CO2 laser to remove the lines. I could smell my flesh burning. It took 2 months for the skin to heal. That collagen that's supposed to be "stimulated" never happened. I now have 5 times as many lines that are twice as deep. He basically burned off the top layer of my skin and thinned out my upper lip. Even my top lip is thinner as a result. A plastic surgeon tested my skin to see if it could handle CO2, which it clearly couldn't. All Lancer had to do was test it first. My skin is now permanently damaged. When I look in the mirror, that's all I see. And when I am on camera(I'm an actress) the grooves above my lip age me 15 years. When I went back to see Dr Lancer, he wouldn't look me in the eye, said "Sorry you're not happy" and left the room. I think he cares more about making money off his machines than he does about your skin. read more

Didn't even get past booking before I cancelled. 250 for consultation? Are you kidding me? I heard about this office from a friend of mine, when I called they insisted I give them a second phone number and email. I've been to another dermatologist in Beverly Hills who did laser treatment for me and it healed in less than 2 weeks and there was no consultation fee, I was charge 650 there and the staff was amazing, reading the reviews on here made me realize going to this place is going to be a mistake and something I will regret. Stay away, seems like it's not worth venturing down this road with a doctor who has so many unsatisfied customers. FYI if this post is deleted I will repost indefinitely. read more

Lancer literally told my husband he was in it for the money because he's loading up to retire. (And said something about his wife being expensive. And something about being only interested in hocking his own products.) He also proudly diagnosed my husband's very obvious athlete's foot and proclaimed the experience of doing so as being very exciting for him, he being very "bored" by all the "vain" problems of his usual clients. My husband and I used his products, indulged in his in-office diamond peel routine (which he orders for everyone) and applied his proprietary retinols, not-so-magic-magic potions, etc.; and we really did do everything he said (including cut out coffee and sugar) all for about two years. Ultimately our skin was left irritated, aged, hurting and sick. Despite having spent a bloody fortune. And despite, again, after drinking his koolaid religiously. And despite both of us having pretty fantastic skin at the start. Lancer has some amazing technicians who do his dirty work. Mia gave me some of the best facials of my life and changed my saggy face with her mad Ulthera skills and other things. But the real red flag here is that Dr. Lancer overlooked a mole of mine which ultimately proved to be melanoma. ("Overlooked" during a screening I requested and which he engaged in with all the enthusiasm of a teenager staring at a wall.) I'm fine now, thanks. To be fair, Dr. Lancer did diagnose a weird, terrible and rare bacterial infection of a friend of mine which she'd been struggling to have properly treated for awhile and she said he was amazing about that. My honest, from the heart sense is that he is that Dr. Lancer IS bored. And that he was, at one point, a true talent in his field. And that he kind of hates himself for having become such a trite person who deals exclusively in superficiality and whose work has little real meaning anymore. And I think he might take this boredom out on his clients sometimes. My guess is if you went in to see him with a rare tropical fungus you'd be interesting to him and he might open his eyes to you and provide you with some real treatment because his diagnosis something cool would make him feel good about himself. But if you don't have a debilitating fungal explosion all over your face, he's going to treat you like any old bitter man treats anyone standing between himself and his golf clubs. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. They cured my acne by being much more aggressive than other derms and being willing to put me on Accutane for a relatively minor issue compared to others. I put this is in the pro column. In the con, there's the endless upsell for the house product, which would be fine if they were actually the best... but they aren't. They just aren't. I've bandied around a fair amount of lovely products and Lancer is, overall, really not worth the money. Plus the packaging is abysmal. And flat out breaks about 30 percent of the time. The prices are very high for anything you want to do at the office. The chairs in the lobby are awk-warddd if you don't want to buddy up tight w strangers... you'll see. And I like Dr. Lancer but I can see how his personality could raise the hackles of some. I came from the standpoint of never wanting to shortchange my health and appearance, but eventually I concluded that there were great docs who were a *little* less fleece-tastic Hollywood and now I'm with a new doc, and no facepocalypse has occurred. Yay! read more

Dr. Lancer is awesome! He totally helped even out my skin tone and ocassinally acne outbursts. He also has his own line of products that are amazing and reasonably priced. The only drawback is that he does not take insurance but trust me, he's worth it!. read more
