I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The front desk staff was exceptionally kind and made check-in seamless. Dr. Lowenstein was not only very knowledgeable but also incredibly personable and easy to talk to. He took time to understand my goals, clearly explained the plan, and checked in throughout the procedure to make sure I was comfortable. His attention to minimizing discomfort really stood out. I felt listened to and well cared for, and the entire visit felt unhurried and thoughtful. Highly recommend Dr. Lowenstein and his team.

I have worked with Dr. Lowenstein before and I'm thrilled that he has his own practice now. He's helped me with some skin issues, some cosmetic Botox and just a few days ago he helped my extreme teeth clenching issue with Botox. I didn't know that was a thing. He's so kind and takes the time to listen. He's clear about your options and he's never tried to upsell me. And you can check for yourself....you can't beat his prices. Unbelievable for such high quality work.

Been going here for decades when I found them in SF. Then they expanded to Marin. Since Covid SF office closed down. Started with DR. LT, then DR JB joined. Now the practice is owned by Dr. S. L. and he just as awesome as the last owner/doctors. This practice has treated many in my family as well as friend referrals. The staff is great. The office is comfortable. scheduling and follow-up has never been a problem. Great face and body product available here also, as well as various procedures, treatments. Check them out for your dermatological needs!

Dr. Lowenstein and his Medical Assistant Navyauna are a terrific pair. Here is how I know that.
I recently had a pathology report come back ambiguous with regard to melanoma in a site on my face. Under the
circumstances Dr. Lowenstein elected to take a more complete
tissue sample and made a 2.5 incision in my cheek. Given its placement in a fold on my right cheek it was almost impossible to get a sterile bandage to stay in place. The day after this long incision was made I returned to the office to get some sterile pads and advice. Immediately, Navyauna offered to not just give me a new pad but to replace it herself over the incision site. Immediately, I knew this was a kindness on her part and not standing operating procedure. And that's what a medical office should have in abundance but, in my experience often fails to show.
Exactly a week later I returned so that Dr. Lowenstein could remove the sutures in the incision. The incision itself was healing niclely and already difficult to discern. I mentioned to him that just as a quarterback in the NFL has to be able to throw a pass with great accuracy, so an M.D. cutting into people's faces has to be able to wield a scalpel with great care and precision. The healing and fading of my scar showed me he had great skill with a scalpel.
So together Dr. Lowenstein and Navyauna make a great pair---
kindness and precision in the same treatment package!

Dr. Lowenstein is great. I will miss Dr. Binstock (I’ve been his patient since 1999), but he deserves his retirement! The entire staff in this office is wonderful. Unfortunately for me, I have to go often due to my skin not cooperating with me. Fortunately, the staff is very friendly and professional. This makes for a stress free medical appointment. I highly recommend Aesthetic Dermatology!

Excellent care from Dr B over many years, three surgeries for skin cancer, and six month skin care check up appointments. Trust. Confidence. Thank you very much.
This was my first visit with new Dr Lowenstein. It was great to see familiar faces when I came in. (Office staff). I had a very thorough, professional, skin check up. One area of concern was id and biopsied. Very little wait before I was in an exam room. Excellent experience overall. I will definitely continue to see Dr Lowenstein. Thank you very much.

Such a delight to engage in a medical practice that values efficiency and expertise; on all levels from scheduling to billing to interaction with Dr Binstock. We will miss him. The new Dermatologist Dr Löwenstein is top notch. This office is well run. I have 43 years experience in health care and have witnessed the degradation of the patient experience. I appreciate Dr Binstock’s attention to the overall running of his practice and his expertise.

Dr. Binstock deserves the highest praise for diagnosing and treating my multiple serious skin cancers over many years. He has been a kind, thorough and a highly skilled surgeon. You can barely see the scars, one of which is on my face, and they weren't small incisions either. I highly recommend him and his wonderful staff!

Dr. Lowenstein is an exceptional dermatologist—highly professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and deeply experienced in his field. He is also empathetic, approachable, and remarkably skilled at building trust and comfort with his patients. I’m delighted to give him the highest possible rating.
I recently visited Dr. Lowenstein's clinic to address a concerning skin condition. With just a quick initial dermascope check, he made an accurate diagnosis (which was later confirmed by the thorough examination). He took the time to patiently explain the underlying principle and mechanism of the skin lesion in a way I could easily understand, putting me at ease throughout the process. His calm demeanor and expertise gave me full confidence in his judgment and the treatment plan he proposed.
Dr. Lowenstein’s team, including his assistants and the entire staff at Golden State Dermatology, were all outstanding. The level of care and service they provide is truly wonderful. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lowenstein to anyone seeking top-notch dermatological care.

My appointment entailed a skin check for cancer. The staff is friendly and efficient. Stephanie was the PA attending to me. She was professional, knowledgeable and pleasant ensuring all of my questions were answered. I would highly recommend Aesthetic Dermatology for your skin care needs to put your mind at ease that you are in good hands receiving quality care. Beverly S.

An outstanding doctor for both aesthetics and skin cancer. I have been Dr. Binstock's patient for over 10 years and am grateful for his surgical skills and the remarkable care he gives his patients. When I once needed care beyond what the clinic offers, Dr. Binstock found not one, but two doctors he could refer me to. His always positive attitude makes visits a pleasure--and helps the healing. I have no hesitation recommending Dr. Binstock and the staff of Aesthetic Dermatology.

Words truly cannot adequately describe the appreciation and respect I have for Stephanie and her entire team at Aesthetic Dermatology. I have been going to various dermatologists, some at this exact location, for more than 35 year - yes, you read that correctly! I have always had varying skin issues and disorders, but it was not until I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting Stephanie that my skin issues have truly been tamed and addressed. Stephanie has an incredible disposition and manner, and with her help, I have been able to entirely get my psoriasis under control, something that had eluded me for many years. In addition to helping me, Stephanie treats my entire family, including three teenage daughters, all of whom wrestle with teenage skin issues. My youngest daughter refers to Stephanie as "my Queen" which, if you don't know, is the highest praise that can be bestowed upon someone by a fourteen year old freshman high school student! Bottom line, it is my true pleasure to strongly recommend and refer Stephanie and her entire team at Aesthetic Dermatology! This is how I wish ALL of medicine could function.

I just had my 3rd basal cell skin cancer removed. I’m including a photo of my nose (procedure was two years ago) because that one could have been so disastrous but turned out great. They know to work with skin contours and my scarring is minimal. Get yourself checked and take care of that sun damage. You will be in excellent hands.
