Benjamin Nichols, MD

This is for Dr. Gogia. I saw him on an emergency basis.
He has a wonderful manner and i felt really reassured and comfortable in his presence. I would definitely go to him again and recommend him wholeheartedly — I already see his partner whom i really like and have great history with, but he also gets a WOW factor. What a great team they have. He is genuinely caring and patient. PS easy parking and you can take a nice walk in the Corte Madera river park afterwards!

Best Dermatologist in Marin! My husband and I had our first visit for an annual exam today. The staff is warm, friendly and efficient. I was able to get an appointment on the day and time that I wanted. We had minimal wait time. Dr. Nichols is thorough, thoughtful and professional. I highly recommend him!

This review is for Dr. Gogia. He was absolutely wonderful and seemed genuinely concerned for my well being. Easy biopsy and always on time for appointments. Highly recommend him.

Pros: I had my first visit with Dr. Nichols and was impressed. He was professional, pleasant, efficient, and knowledgeable. It’s been years since I have seen a dermatologist, so I had a list of concerns. Despite my fairly long list, I didn’t feel rushed. I also liked that he gave me some very practical advise about what treatments/​referrals would be helpful and what wasn’t so necessary. I was worried that I might be up-​sold on treatments/​procedures, but that never happened. I also had a mole that was bothering me and he removed it quickly during that same visit.
Mehs: For another mole that I wanted removed from my face and he referred me to a more cosmetically-​oriented dermatologist who might be able to use a laser. It turned out that the dermatologist he referred me to doesn’t use the laser for removing moles, so now I am left wondering whether to keep looking for another doctor or go with the referral. However, iI do appreciate that Dr. Nichols was being very cautious. It was far better for him to say that it isn’t his specialty than to take a chance on scarring my face.
Cons: As a new patient, I had to wait FOREVER to get an appointment. I called around the New Year and my appointment was mid-​March. They don’t have a cancellation list, so they just suggested that I keep calling back, which I only did a couple times before I gave up.

after disappointment after disappointment with dermatologists in the area, i finally found a great one! i’ve been to dr. nichols for a number of different things over a number of yrs. every time i am so grateful that i’ve found him. professional, pleasant, and was able to diagnose and successfully treat a skin condition that four (!) other dermatologist couldn’t. i would, and already have, recommended him to others. those others have also been very satisfied with him and his care.

I am a local esthetician who works with skin care problems for over 20 years-​number of my clients are patients of Dr. Nichols– They speak in high regards of the doctor so am I … to see what treatments he prescribes also how effective they are in conjunction with my clinical facial treatments. Patients get great resuls.

Dr. Nichols is wonderful. He listens and doesn’t rush you. He is thorough and gives great care. He comes across as warm and genuine. And he’s a good doctor! Highly recommend.

Dr. Nichols is fantastic! Not only did he essentially diagnose my husband’s condition on the first visit, he got a biopsy immediately to confirm the diagnosis. We were able to get the care we needed promptly and efficiently. Also, Dr. Nichols is just a warm and caring person. We couldn’t be happier.
