I just moved to LA and Dr. Benham was really personable, straight forward, and honest, which I appreciate! I had recently developed eczema and he answered all of my questions with care. The office was modern, and clean and the staff was awesome. Looking forward to seeing how my treatment and my next appointment goes with him and referring my boyfriend and friends.
One heads up is that his availability on ZocDoc may not be what it actually is so the office may call you to reschedule. The staff was SO friendly that I didn't mind but important to note in case you have a particularly busy schedule.
There's also free parking in the back!

The facility was very convenient and clean. Staff was friendly, but unaware of my check-in via ZocDoc app and previously completed medical history forms. ZocDoc app scheduled my original appointment outside of normal office hours per receptionist, requiring last minute change of appointment. Doctor and nurse were very friendly and professional.
