Arya Derm

Arya Derm is a dermatology practice located at 459 Geary Street, two blocks from Union Square in San Francisco, California, operating out of a newly renovated medical office within a historic building. Describing itself as a small, startup-style practice navigating a competitive city market, Arya Derm is led by Drs. Lavanya Krishnan and Forum Patel, who personally meet with every patient to build individualized treatment plans. The practice's philosophy centers on collaboration, with the team stating that patients are treated as partners in their own skincare journey. Arya Derm offers both medical and cosmetic dermatology under one roof, handling routine concerns like mole checks, acne treatment, and skin biopsies alongside cosmetic services such as injectable fillers, laser procedures, and anti-aging treatments. The office also includes an in-house product shop and a 'Beauty Bar' where patients can explore curated skincare recommendations and product demonstrations. Arya Derm accepts Medicare and a range of PPO insurance plans, making it accessible to patients seeking both medically necessary and elective dermatologic care in central San Francisco.
