Golden State Dermatology (GSD) has announced its acquisition of the two-location practice LAskinMD, led by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Gene Rubinstein. This partnership, effective from July 14, 2025, enhances GSD’s presence in the Greater Los Angeles area, with locations in Studio City at 3959 Laurel Canyon Blvd. and in Simi Valley at 135 Macaw Ln.
Dr. Rubinstein and his team specialize in various aspects of dermatology, including medical, surgical, and aesthetic care. Their offerings encompass a broad range of treatments from injectables and laser resurfacing to skin tightening and fat reduction. Notably, the Studio City location features a laser center equipped with over 200 laser modalities to cater to diverse patient needs.
“My longstanding commitment has been to deliver safe, effective, and state-of-the-art treatments to my patients,” said Dr. Rubinstein. He expressed enthusiasm about joining GSD, stating, “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.”
GSD currently operates with over 125 providers across 41 locations in California. The organization is recognized for accepting most forms of insurance, which broadens access to its dermatological services.
Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
The founder of GSD, Dr. Ed Becker, emphasized the organization’s mission to support its clinicians in providing exceptional care. “Our priority is to support our clinicians and enable them to deliver exceptional, patient-focused care throughout the communities we serve,” he stated. As GSD continues to grow, it remains dedicated to expanding its network by partnering with leading dermatology providers in California and beyond.
Founded during a time of increased consolidation in the healthcare sector, GSD aims to maintain a relatively independent model of practice. This physician-owned and led organization strives to deliver the highest quality care along with a positive experience for patients, providers, and staff alike.
GSD’s comprehensive services include dermatology, cosmetic procedures, Mohs surgery, radiation therapy, pathology, and plastic surgery. The organization is actively seeking to partner with leading dermatology clinics and professionals to realize its vision of becoming the foremost network of comprehensive dermatology services in the Western United States.
