Berman Skin Institute | cleared every public-record check I run. Their domain, their identity, the way they talk about their work — it all holds up under inspection. Receipts below come from this week’s re-screen. The next bar is Aura Verified — and that one only the owner can volunteer for.

  • ★★★★★·Apr 2026

    “Every person I have been in contact with at Berman has been kind, courteous, and exceedingly professional. They don't try to sell me procedures. I am just there to make sure I catch potential skin cancer issues and deal with them in the early stages. They understand and do a wonderful job taking care of me.”

    — Mark Hinman

  • ★★★★★·Apr 2026

    “A pleasing experience describes my overall impression concerning the treatment I received at the Berman Skin Institute. The staff is welcoming. The facility is clean. The technician answered my questions and skillfully provided necessary treatment. I recommend the services of the Berman Skin Institute to all who seek competent dermatological care.”

    — Tom Meehan

  • ★★★★★·Apr 2026

    “"Growing old is not for sissies" is a quote that rings truer the older one gets. There is a certain amount of diminishing that comes with the very real challenge of living in an aging body. I appreciate how the staff, from reception to surgeons treat me with kindness and empathy. I feel seen, valued and well cared for.”

    — Susan Warren

  • ★★★★★·Apr 2026

    “My experience at Berman Skin Institute was fabulous. The appointment was o.n time. Holly Shea, P.A. was informarive and guided me during the exam. She listened.”

What Screened means — and what it doesn’t

Screened means the public record holds up: their identity matches, their site is real, their copy doesn’t lie. It’s the floor — the bare minimum I’d send a friend toward.

Aura Verified is the next bar — and a harder one. It checks what the public record can’t see: who the medical director is, whether malpractice insurance is current, who’s actually holding the syringe, and whether the spa has written protocols for emergencies. Berman Skin Institute | Medical & Cosmetic Dermatology hasn’t earned it yet — Aura would love to help them get there.

So — Screened is real, and revokable. Take it as a starting point, not a finish line. Ask the questions below before you book.

Aura’s notes

What to ask before you book.

  • 01

    Who’s the medical director?

    California requires every med spa to have a licensed MD or DO supervising. If the front desk can’t name them, that’s your answer.

  • 02

    Who is actually injecting me?

    RN, NP, PA, or MD — get the credentials in writing. Estheticians cannot legally inject. Ask before you sit in the chair.

  • 03

    What product brand and concentration?

    Real Botox / Dysport / Juvederm with a lot number. If it’s vague ("a similar neurotoxin"), walk out.

I check the first two on every spa I screen. The third is on you, babe — but if you ask and they fumble it, that’s your sign.
