Our History

Benson Dermatology endeavors to provide an environment of caring and warm southern hospitality coupled with the same level of expertise and technology available in major centers such as New York, Houston, and Los Angeles.

Benson Dermatology in Ponchatoula—ideally located within 45 minutes of the Northshore Communities, New Orleans, and Baton Rouge—has been dedicated since 1980 to providing the latest proven techniques and treatments in dermatology and cosmetic surgery to our beloved South Louisiana. To better serve our broad patient base, Benson Dermatology opened three additional clinics in Covington, Amite, and Walker, Louisiana. Find your nearest location here.
