We are a medical and surgical dermatology practice, consistently among the most highly rated in Northern California. We specialize in all conditions of the skin, hair and nails, as well as in skin care evaluation and treatment and we're experienced in treating patients of all ages. A doctor/patient relationship requires an in-person physical examination and review of medical history.
Acne is one of the most common skin diseases that we treat. Almost everyone experiences some degree of acne during their lifetime. Acne generally begins around puberty and continues through adolescence and sometimes into adulthood eventually clearing whether it is treated or not. We treat acne to make you look and feel better during the time that you have acne and also to prevent the scarring that acne can cause.
Many of you have heard the terms eczema and dermatitis. They are interchangeable and both refer to skin that is inflamed. The skin may be inflamed for a variety of reasons including irritation such as exposure to harsh soaps or chemicals or the skin may be inflamed by contact with something you are allergic to such as poison oak.
Psoriasis shows up as sharply defined, red, scaly patches on the skin that normally have no itching. It may come on at any age, and there is often a positive family history of psoriasis. The most common regions of involvement are the elbows, knees, and scalp though psoriasis can occur anywhere on the epidermis and typically triggers classical changes in the fingernails.

Dr.Ed Becker is a consummate professional as well as sweet and caring. I always look forward to seeing him, even though he is injecting me with a needle he is gentle and it does not hurt. Dr.Becker has so much integrity and explains that you do not need cosmetic procedures but that instead you may want them. I feel his approach is to enhance your beauty is a subtle more natural way than I have witnessed on many people whom there DR"S make look just crazy fake. Besides his excellent skill with lasers and injectables he also has the ability to excise small abnormal growths of skin cells with amazing

It wasn’t horrible or great just very confusing and not a fine tuned facility. The receptionists at check in and on the phone were always pleasant and professional. I received different information that wasn’t structured or consistent. I think there should be a form or questionnaire in effort to get an idea of what brings new patients to your office. I also tend to believe that some people at the office work on commission something that didn’t feel right.
I thought I did my homework going into this but it was disappointing, it left me feeling not very confident about getting the best care

Dr. Marvin Engel is super good and super smart. I needed to see him for my AK. On my back. He’s direct and because I am a wimp, that’s good for me.

I have gone to Dr. Becker countless times and he is still my top choice for a local Dermatologist. I have referred many friends and family members to him too. He's very professional and thorough and I trust his expertise completely.

I have been a patient of Dr. Becker's for decades and will be, God willing, for many years to come. His wise counsel and superb work as a dermatologist has aided me greatly.

His receptionist called sabrina is very mean and rude in point that she hung up on me. She was not at all a respectful person who can represent a doctor. The doctor must have her gone immediately because I am one of many patients who have refused to pay 140$ for consultationwwith very bad service. For that I give him a star and if I can give him less I will not hesitate. He must know how to recruit his employees to keep his patients.
