Methodology

How we rank dermatologists in Los Angeles

Ownlisted ranks dermatologists in Los Angeles using four objective signals drawn from our database of 19 listed providers. No paid placement affects ranking.

Star rating — The primary sort signal. Businesses with consistently higher ratings (4.5–5.0★) rank at the top. Ratings are sourced from public Google reviews.
Review volume — All else equal, a business with 500 reviews is ranked above one with 50. High volume reduces the effect of outlier reviews.
Listing completeness — Businesses that have claimed and filled out their Ownlisted listing receive a completeness signal; it does not override star or review signals.
Active status — Only businesses confirmed active in our May 4, 2026 dataset appear on this page. Permanently closed businesses are excluded.

Hiring guide

What to look for when hiring a dermatologist in Los Angeles

Verify the dermatologist's certification with the American Board of Dermatology (ABD) — the only ABMS-recognized dermatology certification body in the US.
Check whether the practice accepts your insurance before booking to avoid surprise billing under the federal No Surprises Act.
Look for subspecialty training (Mohs surgery, cosmetic, pediatric) that matches your specific needs; Mohs surgeons should be ACMS-certified.
Ask about new-patient wait times — high-rated practices often book out 2–10 weeks per the Los Angeles listings above.
For cosmetic procedures, ask to see before/after photos from actual patients treated at the practice.
Read recent reviews focusing on bedside manner, wait times, and billing transparency.

Filter by insurance acceptance and subspecialty (medical vs. cosmetic vs. Mohs) to narrow your search.

What should I expect at my first dermatology appointment in Los Angeles?: Your first dermatology visit in Los Angeles typically includes a full-body skin exam, a review of your medical history and any medications, and discussion of your specific concerns.
