Dr. Beynet is a fantastic dermatologist specializing in Mohs surgery. He recently performed two procedures on my face and did an excellent job. His bedside manner is calm and kind and he frequently checks in with you during the procedure to make sure you are comfortable. He gives you complete information about the disease, the treatment and the outcome. I recommend him highly.
