I have had the good fortune of seeing. Alavian as my dermatologist for 6 years. She is fantastic clinically and interpersonally! I believe she has saved my life x 2 by finding almost imperceptible spots early- both mellanomas! Always comprehensive and wise. From the start Dr Alavian took great interest in my work and asks me about it each time! I cannot recommend her or the practice more! Lois

Dr. Alavian is amazing,, clinically and interpersonally! She has saved my life already a couple of times, having identified melanomas early. She is also interesting and fun to talk to- always interested in my life outside the exam room. I highly recommend!
