Lawrence Osman, MD

Dr Osman has been very attentive and gentle every time I have my yearly check up and touch ups. He listens to my concerns and I really like his conservative approach. 5 star all around.
Lisa has been been great taking care of my financial payment. 5 star for Lisa too!

Dr Osman is amazing. Super friendly, patient, and he explains everything so that it’s easy to understand. I felt like I was in good hands.
The staff there are nice and I never had any long waits. The office is clean and the décor was iinviting as well. I would definitely recommend this place and Dr Osman.

The entire staff here is amazing! Everyone is so kind and welcoming. I find both Dr. Osman and Sherry to be calm, compassionate, and very professional. The office staff remembers me and that makes me feel very welcomed and cared-​for. I have been to both the Northridge and Calabasas location, and find that you get the same great level of care at both facilities. If you need a dermatologist, you really can’t go wrong with this practice!

Dr. Osman and staff are THE best! I’m so glad I found him and would never consider going elsewhere. He is so honest and conservative when it comes to using fillers etc, and that’s hard to come by in this business! I leave happy every time and HIGHLY recommend him!

I had a great appointment with Dr. Osman. His staff is professional, his office is comfortable, and he is a terrific listener who took time to go over all my skin concerns and address each one carefully. He was honest about the anti-​aging procedures I didn’t need (yet) and very knowledgeable about the issues (acne, fine lines, general skin tone) that I came to him to handle. I felt in very good hands and am very confident that soon my skin will look even better!
I recommend him without reservation!

I have been going to Dr Osman for years! He is definitely the best dermatologist in LA. Friendly and helpful staff!

I have been going to Dr. Osman for few years now and he is always caring, attentive, and very professional. Not only has he been my dermatologist but also my family’s. Dr. Osman will explain any procedure or treatment every step of the way. I don’t have to wait long when I have my appointment. Plus, I don’t mind waiting a few extra minutes if I know I will be getting the best care and results possible and that is what I get when I see the Dr. I’m always at ease and assured that I will be taken care of. Whether it be for beauty maintenance or any skin problems you have Dr. Osman is the one to see. The staff is so friendly and will assist you in every possible way. Great dermatologist bottom line.

I’ve been the victim of multiple overbooking and lies in doctors’ offices before, but never this badly.
I arrived a few minutes early and filled out the first-​time paperwork. There were 5 people waiting ahead of me. After a half hour, none were called in. I told the receptionist to cancel, and she said I would be next, although there were two waiting in the inside offices ahead of me. Let’s see; 7 times ½ hour comes out to 3−½ hours more wait, plus 5 people ahead of me that would be angry because I was taken ahead of them.
No thanks. Maybe his web site shouldn’t claim 7 minutes average wait time?

I don’t have enough wonderful things to say about this doctor! Dr. Osman has great bedside manner, spends time talking with his patients instead of rushing them out, and his office was very clean. I finally found a dermatologist that I can stick with!

Great doc. Have used him for years. Very capable, and has excellent communication skills.

Completely wasted money. Diagnosed wrong my problem. Gave an expensive medicine which ended up making my skin worse than how it was. What a joke.

I have been trying to find a good dermatologist that takes my insurance for a while now. Dr. Osman was recommended to me by a friend and I couldn’t be more satisfied. His staff were very friendly and the office was clean and nice. The doctor himself had a really peaceful, warm bedside manner, was knowledgeable, prompt and listened to my concerns. He did two procedures right then and there and did not require that I book other appointments to take care of the problems. I really appreciated his professionalism and like knowing that I now have a doctor I can use for my skin care needs.

I got the fractional CO2 laser resurfacing treatment about 10 months ago to treat acne scars on my cheeks. I believe I had ice pick and boxcar scars which were moderate to severe scars. It worked just with one treatment! I need to do 2 more treatments for maximum results but I’m just pointing out how much difference just one treatment made. Dr. Osman is very professional, kind, & honest. He doesn’t waste time trying to upsell anything. I went in for the consult, scheduled my appointment, & went back in for treatment. On the day of treatment I wore numbing cream on my face for about an hour. Then I got the lasering done which took all of 2 minutes. It didnt hurt at all! Completely painless! For the next week I didnt bleed or anything. It was as if I hadnt gotten anything done. It didnt hurt at all I even thought he didnt laser me strongly enough! haha After 3 months I didnt see much difference but after 6 months I started noticing the difference. Now 10 months later my skin looks at LEAST 20% better if not more AND I look a lot younger too! I am Hispanic so I have olive skin tone and for the next 3 – 4 months my cheeks were a little darker than usual. It basically looked the color it does after a blemish has gone away. Kind of purply on me. Its really mild and its so easy to cover with make up. Even without make up it doesn’t look bad and you can use the bleaching cream to rid yourself of the dark pigmentation quicker if you wish. I didnt use the bleach and the discoloration disappeared on its own as quickly as it would have had it been caused by a blemish. So I got all benefits and zero downtime or complications. The price is also the best out there. It was only $ 1,000 which is a steal and very well worth it. If your acne scars cause as much insecurity as mine did I strongly recommend getting this treatment. Its the beat thing ive ever done with my money and the boost in self esteem is really priceless. Thanks Dr. Osman!

Ive had a fair share of bad luck when it came down to looking for new doctors after my insurance changed, but when I found dr. Osman I knew I found my new skin doctor! He takes his time, and you’ll never feel rushed like most places I’ve personally experienced. Another great part about the way he operates is that the wait to be seen is never more than 5 minutes of arriving, he is always on time it seems. The reason for my visit was that I had gotten a tattoo with red ink and experienced an allergic reaction. He had tried the least invasive way (a cream) before administering injections on my final visit. The reaction has subsided, and I am so grateful to not have an itchy/​inflamed tattoo. He’s just an amazingly nice doctor who has the knowledge to back that up too. Go see this doc, you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Ozman is really a very nice person and a great dermatologist. He helped cure my skin rash that I continued to have for 3 months before I decided to visit with him. I tried changing soaps and even buying a water filter, but nothing helped until my visit with Dr.Ozman. He gave me a medicated cream, which helped clear my itching within 3 days. Thank you Dr. Ozman! Happy New Year 2015!

I went to Dr. Osman’s office after having read all the great Unilocal reviews. I was not disappointed! All of the staff were really nice, the office is clean, and Dr. Osman was friendly and thorough. I got a laser treatment for my acne and I will be going back for another, thank you!

I’ve had this skin problem where it starts off as red bumps and turns into a white patch. I’ve come to dr osman over the years for this. And each time I come he diagnosed me wrong, prescribes the wrong medicine, and even took samples of skin from my face (basically punched out a hole of skin). The first few times he thought it was vitiligo even though the sample was negative for vitiligo. He took more of my skin and again said it was vitiligo when it wasn’t. I was so fed up and went to a different dermatologist. After inspecting it once, she prescribed me an ointment that made these rashes disappear within a few days. What he though was vitiligo was a common rash/​allergy. Save yourself money and time (the wait each time I came was over an hour) and go somewhere else

Came here to talk about my skin flaring up and had no idea what was going on. Dr. Osman sat with me while I explained how frustrated I had become with my skin. By the end of my consultation I left feeling so much better and he told me we will get this better. I have been to him twice now and I will be a lifetime customer. My skin has drastically changed and I am no longer breaking out. I am working with him now to reduce my scaring. I also spoke to him about getting Botox and he only recommended 10 – 12 units because he doesn’t want me to over do it. This made me really trust him because he wasn’t trying to inject me a million times to make more money off me. Very trustworthy doctor and you will get the results you want.

Long wait but good doctor

I’ve had acne problems for years since I turned 18. There were times when I was able to get it under control with better skin products/​routines, laser treatments, facials and chemical peels, but I was never able to completely get rid of the bumps on my face. It is so disheartening to see pimples creeping back to my face time and time again, especially given how disciplined I was in terms of diet and exercise routines.
About one month ago, I got so stressed out about an exam that my acne got completely out of control and this is when Dr. Osman came in and saved me. With his proscription of antibiotics and topical treatment, my skin is now 90% clear after merely a month! What a miracle! I’m going back soon for my one month check up and I’m so excited to hear what Dr. Osman would say about my progress.
