After more than twenty-five years of practicing dermatology and Mohs surgery, Dr. Bagheri recognized a troubling trend in modern healthcare. Patients were waiting longer for appointments, spending less time with their physicians, and increasingly receiving care from mid-level providers, rather than developing a lasting relationship with one specialist. As both a physician and a patient himself, Dr. Bagheri experienced these frustrations firsthand.

To solve this problem, he envisioned a different model.

Because membership is intentionally limited, every patient receives the time and attention they deserve. A practice where appointments begin on time. Where questions are encouraged rather than rushed. Where surgery is performed with meticulous attention to detail. Where patient education leads to patient participation, which in turn leads to better outcomes.

Our practice was built around one simple principle: fewer patients, deeper relationships, and uncompromising care. Excellence is the result of time, preparation, and attention to every detail.

Dr. Mamad Bagheri has more than two decades of experience in Mohs surgery, general dermatology, and aesthetic skin procedures. Dr. Bagheri spent his childhood in Philadelphia, where his father was a graduate student at the Wharton School. He attended Medical school at the University of North Dakota and completed his Internship at the Mayo Clinic. During those years he developed a strong interest in skin diseases and applied for residency training in the highly competitive specialty of dermatology. As a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society and the author of several peer-reviewed publications as a medical student, he was accepted to the dermatology residency program at New York Medical College, where he also served as Chief Resident.

During residency, he became fascinated with Mohs Surgery, surgical reconstruction and cutaneous oncology. He co-authored book chapters and peer-reviewed articles on skin cancer, leading him to pursue a fellowship in Mohs Surgery at the prestigious Mohs Clinic within the Department of Plastic Surgery at the University of Wisconsin—the institution where Dr Fredrick Mohs pioneered the technique in 1936.

During his fellowship, he participated in thousands of surgical procedures at one of the busiest Mohs clinics in the country and co-authored several articles regarding skin cancer and precancerous lesions. After completing his fellowship in 2003, Dr Bagheri moved to Southern California where he entered private practice.

Dr Bagheri is married and has a daughter. Outside of medicine, he enjoys a wide variety of interests, ranging from screenwriting to playing poker. Growing up, he played soccer as an attacking midfielder and now enjoys playing tennis with his wife, Catherine, a former Division 1 tennis player at Cornell University.

Membership allows us to provide a level of service that extends beyond the traditional medical office visit. Some of the benefits include:

• Limited patient panel allowing direct patient care from Dr Bagheri at every visit with longer appointment times, expedited scheduling, and enhanced communication with the physician.
• Additional protocols in place to fully prepare you for your procedure—minimize any potential surgical complications and put you at full ease prior to your surgery.
• Enhanced postoperative care, wound care education, and take-home wound-care kits. Excellent surgical outcomes depend greatly on meticulous wound management. We will ensure that you fully understand every step of caring for your surgical wound after you return home. You will receive the wound care supplies you need. If you don’t have assistance at home for dressing changes, we welcome you to return to the office, where our staff will gladly perform them for you.
• Educational events. Dr Bagheri believes that the more knowledgable patients are about their condition, the easier it is to achieve outstanding outcomes. Education may include one-on-one counseling, educational newsletters, and members-only seminars.
• The Founder’s Table. Throughout the year, members are invited to private luncheons with Dr Bagheri. These intimate events provide an opportunity to get to know one another on a personal level, ask any skin health questions you may have in a relaxed setting, and enjoy meaningful conversation outside the traditional office visit.
• Complimentary annual cosmetic consultations and preferred pricing on cosmetic procedures. We offer a full range of cosmetic procedures such as Chemical peels, Neurotoxin injections, Fillers, etc.
• Annual personalized skin care regimen review and complimentary product samples. Members will periodically receive hand-selected skincare products.
• Care coordination and a comprehensive specialty referral program. When additional specialist are needed—including medical oncologist, radiation oncologists, oculoplastic surgeons or head & neck surgeons—we will co-ordinate your care for a seamless experience.
• Family and Friends Referral Benefit. Members may refer up to two non-member patients each year for a second opinion with Dr Bagheri. After the visit, patients will be referred back to their original physician with a consultation note.

We expect our membership benefits to evolve over time—as they should. We are committed to listening to our members and continually refining the experience.
