About Our San Francisco Dermatology Practice

The California Center for Dermatologic Surgery is a leading dermatology and Mohs surgery practice serving the San Francisco, California and surrounding bay area. Founded and led by Dr. Ekama Carlson, MD, our office delivers the highest quality of exceptional medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatologic care.

Our care philosophy is to provide excellence in all aspects of dermatology and dermatologic surgery, and exceptionalism in the total patient care experience. We believe that this exceptionalism translates to highly desirable surgical results in the health of our patients: high cure rates for skin cancer, low rates of skin cancer recurrence, and excellent results after Mohs surgery, laser surgery, and cosmetic dermatology, where functional capabilities of the surrounding anatomy is preserved, aesthetics are maximized, and where all patients feel supported and cared for.
