Golden State Dermatology (GSD) has announced its latest expansion in the Greater Los Angeles area through the acquisition of LAskinMD, a two-location dermatology practice led by Dr. Gene Rubinstein. The newly acquired locations are situated at 3959 Laurel Canyon Blvd., Studio City, CA, and 135 Macaw Ln., Simi Valley, CA. This partnership is set to enhance GSD’s comprehensive dermatology services, including medical, surgical, and aesthetic care.
Dr. Rubinstein, a board-certified dermatologist, brings a wealth of expertise to GSD. His practice specializes in a variety of cosmetic treatments, such as injectables, skin resurfacing, laser hair removal, and skin tightening. The Studio City location is particularly notable for its Laser Center, which offers patients access to over 200 laser modalities.
“My longstanding commitment has been to deliver safe, effective, and state-of-the-art treatments to my patients,” Dr. Rubinstein stated. “Following thorough evaluation, I have chosen to join a network that reflects my unwavering dedication to excellence in patient care. I am pleased to begin this new chapter with GSD.”
This acquisition marks a significant step for GSD, which already boasts over 125 providers across 41 locations throughout California. The organization is known for accepting most forms of insurance, making its services accessible to a broader patient base.
GSD’s founder, Dr. Ed Becker, emphasized the organization’s commitment to enhancing patient care. “Our priority is to support our clinicians and enable them to deliver exceptional, patient-focused care throughout the communities we serve,” he said. “As we continue to grow, we remain committed to thoughtfully expanding our network by partnering with leading providers in California and beyond.”
Commitment to Quality Care
Founded during a period of significant health care consolidation, GSD aims to maintain a relatively independent model of practice. It is physician-owned and led, with a mission to provide the highest quality of care while ensuring a positive experience for patients, providers, and staff alike. The organization’s services extend beyond dermatology to include cosmetic procedures, Mohs surgery, radiation therapy, pathology, and plastic surgery.
GSD is actively seeking partnerships with leading dermatology clinics and professionals to expand its reach and enhance the quality of care offered. Interested parties can learn more about partnership opportunities by visiting the GSD website.
As GSD continues to grow and evolve, its focus remains on delivering excellent dermatological services and fostering partnerships that align with its mission of quality and patient-centric care.
