About

Dr. Lawrence Osman, MD is a board-certified dermatologic surgeon practicing in Northridge and Calabasas, California. He specializes in general dermatology, treating conditions like acne, psoriasis, and eczema, alongside cosmetic dermatology and liposuction surgery. Dr. Osman emphasizes year-round skin protection and proactive skin health, highlighting daily SPF as a simple, powerful method against sun damage, premature aging, and long-term concerns. He believes skin deserves protection beyond a summer glow. For cosmetic treatments, Dr. Osman uses non-surgical fillers like Voluma for jawline contouring to achieve a more defined and balanced look. He finds Botox effective for excess sweating in the underarms, hands, and feet, noting its minimal discomfort, no recovery time, and effects lasting 6-8 months. He also uses a few drops of Botox around the mouth to reduce early lip lines, which can also slightly evert the upper lip. His practice was an early adopter of Vollure, a new filler from the makers of Botox. Dr. Osman aims for Botox treatments to leave individuals rejuvenated and refreshed.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$3,904

Payments

112

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Lawrence Osman received $3,904 across 112 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
