California Dermatology and Mohs Surgery Specialists

California Dermatology and Mohs Surgery Specialists is based at the Cotton Medical Center in Pasadena, California, founded by Dr. Teo Soleymani, a Stanford-trained, double board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs micrographic and facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. Before entering private practice, Dr. Soleymani served as a clinical professor at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine, where he directed the Pigmented Lesions and Melanoma Clinic and co-directed fellowship education in micrographic surgery and dermatologic oncology, giving the Pasadena practice an academic-caliber foundation. The practice's stated philosophy centers on expertise, compassion, and patient-focused professionalism, aiming to deliver university-affiliated, evidence-based care with an outstanding patient experience. Its scope spans complex skin cancer management and reconstructive Mohs surgery on one end to cosmetic dermatology and facial plastic procedures on the other, allowing patients to be treated by the same fellowship-trained surgeon across the full continuum from diagnosis to aesthetic refinement. General dermatology services, including acne and eczema care, round out the practice, making it a comprehensive option for Pasadena-area patients seeking both medical and cosmetic skin expertise under one roof.
