Well educated, refined, courteous and competent, Dr Beynet instills trust from the moment you meet him. Having moved from the east coast where I had been well taken care of with fine physicians at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, I was anxious to find a skilled and caring dermatologist. I researched carefully and selected Dr. Beynet based on his education and experience. Dr. Beynet is a Mohs surgeon, a specialist within the dermatology field, and initially I was asked to make an appointment with another dermatologist for an initial screening. However, once I mentioned that I had already had Mohs surgery, I was immediately provided with an appointment with Dr. Beynet. My appointment went well. Dr Beynet diagnosed a skin concern and efficiently managed a small surgical procedure...with stitches! He has a delicate touch and there was little discomfort. I was in and out within 10 to 12 minutes! I am very happy to have found Dr. Beynet and to know that I shall be… in good hands going forward with my skin care.

I have the WORST skin imaginable. I am being treated for blood vessels on my nose from surgery as well as horribly large pores and acne scars. I give the doctor credit for not running out the door screaming!! Seriously, he was recommended by the chief of UCLA plastic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Beynet is an upbeat, kind person. He is realistic yet willing to see what can be done for someone with skin like mine. He is obviously very accomplished and qualified and his considerate "bedside manner" makes an exceptional combination in a doctor.

I was lucky enough to have to reschedule an appt. with Dr. Beynet because my original dermatologist was unavailable to see me due to be booked three months out. Good Thing! I was so comfortable that I changed doctors that day! This is the right doctor for me and I would definitely recommend him and his staff.

Good advice; good listener; good doctor.Staff, assistant, nurse, front office, and the doctor, all incredibly nice. This seems to have become less common than it used to be. I have found the right doctor for me.
