Dr. Soleymani has great bedside manners. He is very knowledgeable and detail oriented with a positive attitude, and is direct and to the point.
It was a pleasant experience. The doctor was very informative and the staff was very polite.
A Los Angeles native, Dr. Soleymani completed his undergraduate studies in Evolutionary Biology at UCLA. He went on to graduate from the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, during which time he was awarded numerous accolades for academic excellence and was inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha honor society, considered widely to be the highest award bestowed in medical school.
Dr. Soleymani completed his internship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was awarded the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine Excellence in Teaching with Humanism Award. He then went on to complete his residency at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, one of the world’s most premier dermatology training programs. While at Stanford, Dr. Soleymani worked with world-renowned experts in cutaneous oncology and complex skin diseases and was the recipient of various academic awards and distinctions.
Following residency, Dr. Soleymani completed a rigorous fellowship in Mohs Micrographic Surgery, Cutaneous Oncology, and Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Zitelli and Brodland Skin Cancer Center under the tutelage of John Zitelli, M.D., considered by many to be the world’s most prestigious and competitive fellowship program. His fellowship was directed by both John Zitelli, M.D. and David Brodland, M.D, widely considered to be two of the pre-eminent leading authorities in Mohs surgery. Notably, Dr. Soleymani’s fellowship director, Dr. John A. Zitelli, MD, was trained directly by Dr. Frederic E. Mohs himself, the founder and pioneer of Mohs surgery. This direct lineage from Dr. Mohs enables Dr. Soleymani provides his patients with the highest-quality Mohs surgery possible. Additionally and in much acclaim, Dr. Soleymani’s unique fellowship training was the only program in the world that included fellowship training in both Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery as well. As a result he is one of only a handful of Mohs Surgeons in the world with dedicated specialized training in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery as well, allowing him to provide the best possible functional and aesthetic reconstructive results.
Dr. Soleymani also completed a fellowship in dermatopharmacology, clinical trials and drug development at the famed Ronald O. Perelman Department of Dermatology at NYU in New York City. During this time, he was a co-investigator for over 14 different investigator-initiated and industry-sponsored, multi-center, phase I-III clinical trials developing new drugs for various diseases in dermatology. His work during his fellowship earned him the coveted Maurice Husik, M.D. Award for Best Research.
Prior to establishing California Dermatology and Mohs Surgery Specialists, Dr. Soleymani practiced as a full-time Clinical Professor of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery at UCLA, where he was also the Director of the Pigmented Lesions and Melanoma Clinic, as well as Co-Director of Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology Fellowship Education and Resident Surgery Education programs.
During his tenure at UCLA, Dr. Soleymani received both local and national acclaim for introducing landmark and pioneering surgical treatments for complex, high-risk and challenging skin cancers. He introduced advanced Mohs micrographic surgery with intra-operative immunostaining to UCLA, pioneered groundbreaking work for the treatment of early-stage melanomas on the head and neck developed UCLA’s first Mohs Surgery for Melanoma program. He also pioneered the creation and utilization of advanced intra-operative immunostaining during surgery for high-risk, complex and rare-skin cancers, which allowed for much higher tumor cure rates and greater successful clearance of the most challenging tumors. As a result of his pioneering work, Dr. Soleymani was able to make tremendous improvements in patient outcomes and quality of care.
In addition to clinical patient care, Dr. Soleymani remains robustly active in academic research, continuing to publish numerous scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals and book chapters in textbooks. He has lectured and continues to present at local, regional, and national academic conferences and remains active in clinical and translational research regarding dermatologic oncology and surgical reconstruction. He is considered by many to be a key thought leader and national expert in skin cancer treatment.
In his spare time, Dr. Soleymani enjoys spending quality time with his wife and sons, staying active, and traveling.

Dr. Soleymani has great bedside manners. He is very knowledgeable and detail oriented with a positive attitude, and is direct and to the point.
5 Stars! Everyone in Dr. Soleymani’s office is wonderful and I always look forward to seeing them. From the moment one walks in, the great staff friendly and welcoming. Patients walk out from the visit/ procedure rooms with a smile on their face (whether with gauze wrapped beautifully or a few small bandages). Dr. Soleymani is kind and takes time to really listen to questions or fears. His work is meticulous, he cares a lot, and he’s fun to be around!
It was a pleasant experience. The doctor was very informative and the staff was very polite.

Dr. Soleymani’s staff is courteous and very helpful in getting all of necessary documents and test results. He is thorough in his explanation and treatment plan, which helps with understanding the reasons for his recommendations.
Very professional, non judgmental. Pragmatic diagnosis and treatment. Friendly staff too.
Summary of my first Visit with Dr. Soleymani: He seems like a very prepared doctor, Professional yet joyful. He treats you like a human being should be treated. He took his time to explain everything, asked questions and listened. Great bed side manners. I went for a medical issue and I am so glad he didn’t even propose esthetic procedures.
Dr. Soleymani is a very compassionate, responsible and caring person. He is very knowledgeable and shows interest in his patient's medical issues. I had great experience in his office and will recommend him to others in need.

Dr. Soleymani is outstanding! I had been nervous about getting something examined for years. He came in was professional, efficient, personable, and genuine. Procedure on a pain scale was 1 out of 10. His team and their follow-up was top notch as well. Highly recommend!
Dr. Soleymani communicates clearly and concisely and demonstrates personal mastery in his specialty. His mohs micrographic surgical technique and post surgery results greatly exceeded my expectations. Not only am I cancer free from melanoma, but I could not be more pleased with his reconstruction of the excision site. He and his high-performing team made sure I was comfortable and calm and provided the best care possible. By far and away the best doctor ever whom I recommend and have recommended to others.
If I could give more stars I would! I took in my three teenage girls to see Dr. Soleymani from when they scheduled our appointment, meeting his MA and than the doctor was a very pleasant experience the staff is friendly, attentive and ready to answer any questions you have before and after your appointment. The office is very clean and welcoming. My daughters were so pleased and happy with the treatment they received from Dr. Soleymani as he genuinely cares about his patients.
Wonderful office and care givers. Dr. Soleymani and his staff are warm and caring and very professional. They made me feel like an a long time patient and friend on my first visit and I was extremely impressed with their level of knowledge and experience. I have already recommended Dr. Soleymani and his team to associates who have asked me about my experience. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a qualified and caring dermatologist.
