We are proud to provide "Excellent Dermatology Care in a Timely Fashion™" so you never have to wait long for the answers you need.
We Cover the Full Spectrum of Medical Skin Care
This includes treating common conditions like eczema (itchy, red rashes), psoriasis (thick, scaly patches), and rosacea (pimples, redness and visible blood vessels). We also specialize in identifying and treating all types of skin cancer.

OUR SERVICES
Our clinic is equipped to handle everything from routine skin checks to complex chronic conditions. Here is a look at some of the most common concerns we treat:
Your safety is our top priority. We focus on the early detection and treatment of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma (the most serious form of skin cancer). If you have a mole that is changing shape, bleeding, or looks different from the others, we provide expert exams to give you a clear diagnosis and a plan for treatment.

Not every bump is dangerous, but many can be uncomfortable or bothersome. We offer expert medical removal for non-cancerous (benign) growths such as cysts (pockets under the skin), lipomas (soft fatty lumps), and traumatized moles that get caught on clothing or jewelry.
We treat a wide variety of daily skin issues, including:
Identifying the cause of itchy or painful skin reactions.
Long-term management for eczema or atopic dermatitis (itchy, dry patches), psoriasis (thick, silvery scales), and rosacea (pimples, redness and visible blood vessels on the face).
Helping with melasma (dark brown patches) and vitiligo (loss of skin color).
Expert care for brittle nails or excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
When it comes to your health, accuracy is everything. Dr. Kamruz Darabi is one of the few dermatologists in the country with triple-board certification. This means he is an expert not only in treating skin conditions and performing skin surgery, but also in dermatopathology—the science of studying skin samples under a microscope.
At most clinics, if you need a biopsy (where a small piece of skin is taken for testing), your sample is sent away to an outside lab. Often, the person looking at your skin under the microscope is a doctor who has never met you, hasn’t seen your skin condition in person, and doesn’t have access to your full dermatology medical records.
Because Dr. Darabi is a specialist in both clinical care and lab diagnosis, he can "close the loop" between what he sees in the exam room and what he sees under the microscope. In most cases, the same doctor who examines you is the one who reads your biopsy slide. If you see one of our other providers, they can easily talk to Dr. Darabi about your case before he looks at your biopsy. This teamwork leads to faster results and a much more accurate diagnosis, ensuring you get the right treatment right away.
HOW IT WORKS
When you visit Darabi Dermatology, we want you to feel heard, cared for, and confident in your treatment plan—and our patient reviews reflect this. Here is what you can expect during your medical visit:
Your visit starts with a conversation. We take the time to perform a thorough review of your current skin symptoms and your medical history. Understanding your past health and your family history helps us get a complete picture of your skin health. We listen to your concerns so we can address exactly what is bothering you.
Next, we perform a detailed exam of the area of concern. To get a complete picture of your skin issue, we often ask patients to change into a gown for a complete skin assessment. We use tools like dermoscopy, a special handheld magnifier with high-quality light, to look deep into the layers of your skin. This allows us to evaluate moles and lesions with much more precision than the naked eye, helping us spot problems earlier and reduce unnecessary biopsies.
If we find something that needs a closer look, we handle it right here. If a biopsy or surgical removal is required, our expertise allows for a seamless transition. Because we specialize in the exam, the lab work, and the surgery, you don’t have to jump between different offices. We manage your care from the first look to the final healing process, ensuring a faster and more accurate path to being healthy.
You shouldn’t have to wait months to see a specialist when it comes to your health. We know that skin concerns can be stressful, and getting a fast, professional opinion is the best way to find relief. That is why we prioritize being available when you need us most. At Darabi Dermatology, we are proud to offer medical appointments within 1–2 weeks. Whether you need a routine check-up or have a specific concern that needs immediate attention, our doors are open. With two convenient locations in Chaska and Hutchinson, expert medical care is always close to home. Experience the difference of a private practice that combines world-class expertise with a personal, timely touch.
Medical dermatology is all about the health and function of your skin. It focuses on treating diseases, infections, and skin cancer to keep your body safe.
Cosmetic dermatology focuses on aesthetics, or how your skin looks (like reducing wrinkles or dark spots).
At Darabi Dermatology, we offer both under one roof. This means we can make sure your skin is both healthy on the inside and beautiful on the outside.
For most fair-skinned adults, we recommend a professional head-to-toe skin exam once a year. However, if you have had skin cancer in the past, or if it runs in your family, you may need to come in more often. Regular check-ups are the best way to catch problems early when they are easiest to treat.
Whether you need a referral usually depends on your specific insurance plan. Some "HMO" plans require a referral from your primary doctor first, while many "PPO" plans allow you to come straight to us. Our office makes self-scheduling easy, so if you want direct access to a specialist, you can call us or book on our website online to get the expert care you need. However, always be sure to check with your insurance if your insurance plan requires a referral from your primary care doctor or if we are in network with your plan.
If you see a mole that looks "off," follow the ABCDE rule. Look for:
Our motto is: “When in doubt, check it out.” If you have an urgent concern about a mole, we strive to see you within one week to give you the answers you need in a timely manner.
