I saw Dr. Barankin a couple of years ago and was quite happy with his services, so I decided to go to him again, but this time I was very disappointed. I asked him if he can remove some small warts without leaving a big blister. He replied "of course, we have all state-of-the-art equipment". I was charged a fee, which would be Ok, had the procedure been done properly. However, when I went to see the nurse, she could not even understand from the requisition form what she was supposed to do. I showed her the warts and she quickly sprayed them with liquid nitrogen from a big nozzle, leaving deep burns on my skin diameter of 1 cm. its been two weeks and the burns have hardly healed at all, so I keep covering my hands with band-aids. I wish I never asked for this service! Dr. Barankin also screened me for skin cancer. His screening was brief and partial. he only checked the back and the chest areas, skipping the legs and head, although he said that I have a high risk skin. I will definitely go somewhere else from now on!

Best dermatologist. Totally helped clear up my rash which I've had for months when no one else could help me. He is punctual and a genuinely nice person, and clearly a bright guy. I'll definitely go back to him for any skin problems.

I have been a patient of Dr. Barankin for a few years now, and I am always very pleased with the care he has provided me. I have also brought in my kids to see him, and he is always so kind and friendly with them, giving them stickers and engaging them so thoughtfully. I think he's a wonderful human being and a stellar doctor, and would definitely recommend him highly. Also, his new clinic is simply amazing, nothing quite like it in the medical world. His reception staff are also very competent and respond well to calls.

Dr. Barankin has been my dermatologist for almost a decade now and I'm super thankful that I found him. There are very few doctors, let alone people, like him. He is very competent, friendly, generally punctual, and has solved many skin issues for me over the years.

I saw Dr Barankin several years ago when my adult acne flared up. After seeing many other dermatologists, who didn't help me, a friend recommended Dr Barankin. I read many articles in magazines about him, so I knew he was good. Upon meeting him, I found him very professional, and kind. He explained everything, and answered all my questions, but most importantly, he cleared my acne! He gave me a very low dose of Accutane, and although I was nervous about it, he reassured me that it would work. I can happily say, it worked! Almost overnight! He was the only doctor who helped me. I have been a patient at his clinic ever since. His staff is friendly, and knowledgable. I'm pleased that they also have estheticians in the clinic, and amazing skin care products. I have recommended this clinic to anyone who asks about my glowing skin!

After of few years of trying to find a good dermatologist, my physician referred me to Dr. Ben Barankin. I was very pleased, the office staff is great, very short wait time. Dr. Barankin is very knowledgeable and is the top in his field. He patiently explained all options to me and answered all my questions. I will definitely use him in the future and recommend him to my family and friends

I have been to see Dr. Barankin a several times over the years for different reasons - both cosmetic and medical. I find him to be extremely knowledgeable and personable. He is an artist when it comes to botox and fillers as I always look really refreshed yet extremely natural! Although my medical appointments with him are rather quick - he always diagnosed and treated my various concerns accurately and I appreciated the fact that I did not have to wait months to get into see him! The office is large and beautiful, staff wonderful and I love the fact that there is parking onsite, a rarity these days.

I saw Dr. Barankin for a few different issues over the past few years. He's helped me a great deal with my psoriasis and a bit of adult acne, and he has also done some Botox for me to try and improve my deep frown lines. Overall Ive been really pleased with the results. He is always so nice and understanding, and takes time to explain things. He's not pushy at all, and seems to truly care about his patients. His clinic is top notch with really nice staff, and they actually answer the phones and are helpful. Its also the nicest medical or other clinic I have ever seen in my life. He does occasionally run a few minutes behind though which is not unusual for a doctor. I definitely recommend him and have done so to my friends and family who all seem pleased with him and Toronto dermatology centre.

They treat you like a number, don't care about their patients at all. I have never been treated so rudely. Would never go back. It is all about the money to them and it is painfully obvious.
