He also has a special interest in cosmetic removal of moles and other benign lesions, ear lobe repair, scar and keloid revision, laser treatments, fillers, and Botox.

Prior to his fellowship, Dr. Nadimi earned his medical doctorate from Eastern Virginia Medical School, where he was inducted by his peers into the prestigious Gold Humanism Honor Society. He then completed a one-year internship in Internal Medicine at Georgetown University Hospital, followed by a three-year Dermatology residency at Georgetown University Hospital/Washington Hospital Center. Dr. Nadimi has published several peer-reviewed manuscripts in the dermatology literature related to skin cancer, is the author of a textbook chapter on advanced skin cancer reconstruction, and has presented original research at national conferences.

After spending three years as a full-time Mohs surgeon in his hometown of Washington, D.C., Dr. Nadimi enthusiastically returns to Southern California to provide his unique surgical skills and patient-centered approach.

Dr. Nadimi’s treatment philosophy revolves around listening very closely to his patients to come up with a mutually agreed-upon plan. He believes in the healing power of the physician-patient relationship. Dr. Nadimi is fluent in Spanish and Persian (Farsi). Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family and close friends, playing tennis or basketball at Venice Beach, weight training, watching videos of cute animals, hiking, listening to all genres of music, and rooting for the Washington Commanders.
