Pure Dermatology & Skin Surgery Center: Parrish Sadeghi, MD

Dr. Sadeghi loves being a dermatologist and is very excited about the recent opening of her full-service dermatology practice in her hometown, Santa Monica. Dr. Sadeghi incorporates over 14 years of experience in the field, focusing on treating skin diseases in both children and adults, detection, prevention, skin cancers and melanoma, and promoting healthy skin.
A graduate of UCLA, Dr. Sadeghi received her medical degree from Albany Medical College and completed her dermatology residency training at Cleveland Clinic where she was elected as Chief Resident. Upon completion of her training, Dr. Sadeghi joined the Dermatology Department at the UCLA School of Medicine as a full-time Clinical Instructor at the Santa Monica and Westwood locations and later practiced in Denver, Colorado.
Thereafter, she returned to Cleveland Clinic for additional fellowship training in Mohs and reconstructive surgery under the directorship of Dr. Philip Bailin, an internationally regarded Mohs surgeon and one of Dr. Frederick Mohs’ original trainees.
After several years of practice in the Midwest, she relocated back to Southern California where she now lives with her husband, a scientist and reproductive geneticist, and their two children.
Dr. Sadeghi believes in giving back to the community and she’s involved in teaching and educating the public about dermatology through free skin cancer screening events, Santa Monica’s Walk With a Doc organization, as well as fundraising efforts to advance dermatologic research.
She is board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology, fellow of the American College of Mohs Surgery, American Academy of Dermatology, and American Society for Dermatologic Surgery.  She has publications in numerous peer-reviewed journals and textbooks and continues to keep abreast of the latest dermatologic advances by actively participating in local and national meetings and conferences.
