Benjamin Barankin

If you've read a dermatology quote in the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, or on CBC in the last decade, there's a reasonable chance it came from Dr. Benjamin Barankin.

He co-founded Toronto Dermatology Centre in 2010 alongside Dr. Anatoli Freiman and serves as co-Medical Director. Board-certified (FRCPC, FAAD), Team Dermatologist for Toronto FC (MLSE soccer) & Toronto Blue Jays (baseball), recipient of the CDA's Young Dermatologists' Volunteer Award in 2014, and a multi-time RealSelf & Post Papers' Top Toronto Dermatologists. He's co-authored seven dermatology books and more than 700 publications.

The practice pattern that comes with that profile is a dermatologist who's in the habit of explaining things clearly, to a camera, a class, and a patient, often in the same week.
