Dr. Latanya Benjamin MD, FAAD, FAAP

Founder, Young Skin® MD

Hi, I'm Dr. B!

Founder, visionary, mother, dual-board-certified physician, and former Stanford professor...some say I can do it all.

I've been at the forefront of pediatric dermatologic and aesthetic excellence for nearly 30 years.

Along the way, I've had fun being featured in the media and nationally recognized for my expertise in pediatric laser surgery, acne, and sun safety.

As an advocate for women and children, one of my deepest passions is contributing to global philanthropy projects that create lasting impact.

I also enjoy extending my expertise by contributing to medical texts, consulting for global brands like Dove, and serving on medical advisory boards.

But above all, I love being a mom and spoiling my patients with world-class care.

YS Concierge Team

Hi, I'm Sami!

Physician Assistant, wife, and derm aficionado...some even call me their 'skincare sommelier.'

After graduating from FSU and earning my Master's at South University, I completed an advanced fellowship in Dermatology and was honored with the Emerging Derm PA Scholarship.

I absolutely adore helping patients of all ages feel confident in their skin.

At the office, you'll find me guiding teens through acne or Accutane therapy, helping little ones with eczema or diaper rashes, or meeting with families virtually for telehealth visits.

No matter who's in front of me, my goal is to listen intently and ensure every patient feels seen, heard, and supported.

Outside the office, I love attending derm conferences, mentoring future PAs, practicing yoga, and hiking national parks with my hubby, Mark.

YS Concierge Team

Hi, I'm Jackie!

Physician Assistant, travel enthusiast, and proud Miamian with Argentine roots.

After completing a clinical rotation in pediatric dermatology, I fell in love—and have been caring for little ones as a PA for nearly two years.

My passion for serving has even taken me abroad for medical mission work in South Africa—an experience that continues to inspire how I approach patient care every day.

At the office, you'll find me supporting families through eczema, acne, and other pediatric skin conditions, always with a smile and a gentle touch.

I love connecting with families in both English and Spanish and helping you or your child feel confident in your skin.

Outside the office, you'll find me traveling, training for half marathons, learning to ballroom dance, singing, or voice acting—I've even dubbed characters in children's animation shows!

Hailey Hung, Medical Assistant

YS Concierge Team

Hi, I'm Hailey!

Medical assistant, aspiring physician assistant, and skincare fanatic.

I recently graduated from the University of Central Florida and now, I'm preparing for PA school so I can specialize in dermatology.

At Young Skin® MD, I'm one of the first faces you'll see when you arrive. I love making sure you feel welcomed and at ease from the very beginning of your visit until we're telling each other "See you next time!"

My approachable nature and calming presence help set the tone for the personalized care you'll receive from every member of our team.

Outside the office, you can find me studying, preparing for PA school (it's no joke!), spending time with friends, or soaking up the sun at the beach.

Valentina Di Guida, Front Office

YS Concierge Team

Hi, I'm Valentina!

Front office guru, medical science lover, and aspiring doctor.

I bring three years of clinical care experience to Young Skin MD, blending medical knowledge with a warm, uplifting presence.

With a strong passion for working with children and a growing love for aesthetic medicine, I strive to help every patient—no matter their age—feel confident, cared for, and comfortable from the moment they walk through our doors.

Known for my attention to detail and lighthearted sense of humor, I make sure each visit feels personal, positive, and reassuring.

Outside the office, you'll find me coaching figure skating, staying active in the gym, studying for my pre-med courses and spending time outdoors whenever I can.

Gabriella Behar, Dermatology Intern

YS Concierge Team

Hi, I'm Gabi!

Dermatology Intern, aspiring dermatologist, and total nerd on all things skin.

I'm currently studying Health Sciences at the University of South Florida with dreams of becoming a dermatologist.

At Young Skin® MD, patients often say, "You light up the room" because I greet everyone with a smile and love making sure each visit brightens your day...and your skin!

What I enjoy most is seeing someone's confidence when their skin starts to glow. I'm so grateful to contribute to each patient's Young Skin experience.

Outside the office, you can find me studying (almost always!), checking out fun new workout classes, and spending time with my family.

Gerica Rivera, Aesthetic Coordinator

Gérica Rivera, Aesthetic Coordinator

YS Concierge Team

Hi, I'm Gérica!

Aesthetics enthusiast, and passionate believer that beauty and confidence start with self-care.

With over a decade of experience in dermatology, Mohs surgery, cosmetic dermatology, and medical spa treatments, I bring a unique blend of clinical knowledge, creativity, and heartfelt care to Young Skin MD.

Before falling in love with aesthetics, I worked as a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant and Surgical Technician in Pulmonology, Rheumatology, Podiatry, and Pediatrics—but dermatology quickly stole my heart and became home.

My greatest joy is helping patients elevate their natural beauty through advanced treatments that promote healthy, radiant skin while achieving subtle, timeless rejuvenation.

Outside the office, you'll find me homeschooling my kids, exploring national parks, hiking, baking sourdough, hosting themed dinners, and soaking up every bit of the great outdoors I can.

Jessa Carter, Director of Operations

Jessa Carter, Director of Operations

YS Concierge Team

Hi, I'm Jessa!

Visionary, legacy leader, former Physician Assistant, overall badass, and Director of Joy, I mean, Operations.

Don't let Dr. B fool you, she's a total badass too...I'll tell you the story of how we met sometime. It's a good one!

I joke about being the Director of Joy because after 10 years as a Neurosurgical PA, I traded the stress of the scalpel for something far more fun...building empires.

When you mix 10 years in an operating room with 10 years of failing forward as an entrepreneur, you end up with a slice of humble pie and lethal brilliance that comes in really handy.

I love bringing my business acumen and Neurosurgical precision to the heartbeat of Young Skin's Legacy, team excellence, and patient experience.

In real life, you can find me traveling with my Mr. Right, working on my fitness (#Fergie—lol), exploring new coffee shoppes with my favorite ladies, or snuggling with my fur babies, Saturn and Jupiter.
