Dr Kwan was very intelligent and understanding of my multiple concerns. He understood the issue right away and created a careful treatment plan, along with the follow ups. He was attentive and listening. I felt more at ease after the appointment.

More about Dr. William Kwan, MD

William Kwan, MD is a board-certified dermatologist recognized for his expertise in both medical and cosmetic dermatology. A graduate of UCLA with a B.S. in biology, magna cum laude, he went on to earn his medical degree at USC. His training included an internship at the University of Rochester Medical Center, followed by a dermatology residency at UCLA. He later distinguished himself as Chief Resident at King/Drew Medical Center in Los Angeles before establishing a thriving practice in San Francisco. After many years in the Bay Area, he relocated to Southern California to be closer to family, continuing his career in Beverly Hills. Dr. Kwan is widely regarded as one of the nation’s leading practitioners of laser skin procedures. His practice blends advanced technology with an uncompromising standard of care, offering a full spectrum of treatments designed to restore, enhance, and maintain healthy, beautiful skin. Patients value not only his technical skill but also his thoughtful approach to achieving natural, individualized results. Growing up as a minority at a time when mainstream ideals of beauty excluded people who looked like him, Dr. Kwan experienced firsthand the challenges of not seeing oneself reflected in cultural standards. That perspective has shaped his mission as a dermatologist: to help patients of all skin types feel confident in their appearance and to celebrate the features that make each person uniquely beautiful. Through his work and advocacy, he champions the belief that everyone should be empowered to “Be Your Own Beautiful.”

Provider didn’t remember anything from previous appointment (seems like they could at least take better chart notes or look at the notes in general). Seemed frustrated that I followed up despite directions to do so.
I did not have an issue with Dr. Kwan except to say that I was experiencing a chronic flare-up, and though the "system was down", no effort was made by the office to CALL in my desperately needed medication, so I had to suffer through 72 hours until someone in the office could be reached. Not good.
