The 11 Best Dermatologists in Toronto (2026)
Toronto has Canada's deepest dermatology bench, but OHIP referrals for medical concerns can queue for months, which is why the private and cosmetic side of Yorkville, Forest Hill, and the hospital-row corridor has grown so quickly. Know the distinction going in: medical dermatology (skin checks, acne, eczema) usually flows through a family-doctor referral, while cosmetic consultations book directly. The ranked practices below, sorted by Google rating weighted by review volume, span both sides.

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.
