The Visionary

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.
