The 15 Best Dermatologists in Los Angeles (2026)

Los Angeles dermatology splits into two worlds: the medical practices handling skin checks, acne, and surgical dermatology from Cedars-Sinai's orbit through the Valley, and the cosmetic-forward clinics of Beverly Hills adjacency where lasers and injectables lead. Many of the best offices here do both under one roof. Sun exposure is a year-round reality in Southern California, which makes an annual full-body mole check less optional here than almost anywhere; the top-rated practices below are ranked by Google rating weighted by review volume.

How we ranked these: by public Google rating weighted by review volume (a Bayesian average), as of 2026. This list is editorial and not influenced by payment. Always confirm current credentials, availability, and pricing directly with each practice.

Medical vs. cosmetic dermatology

Dermatologists handle two kinds of visits. Medical dermatology covers skin checks, changing moles, acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rashes; cosmetic dermatology covers lasers, injectables, and skin-quality treatments. Most practices above do both, but book the right visit type, and see a dermatologist promptly for any mole that is changing in size, shape, or colour, a spot that bleeds or won't heal, or a new growth. Those are screening visits, not cosmetic consultations, and they should never wait behind one.
