About Girish Mohan, M.D.
Dr. Mohan’s inspiration to pursue a career in health care began at a young age. He said, “By the time I was in high school, I knew I was meant to go into medicine - I first discovered my interest when I was fascinated by biology and learning about the health sciences.”
During his time in high school, Dr. Mohan would quickly discover what he wanted to specialize in. He said, “My interest in dermatology also started in high school due to my struggles with severe acne. By the time I got to medical school, my experiences in the dermatology clinic cemented my decision. I was fascinated by the ability to make an instant diagnosis by visual inspection, and also enjoyed the breadth of dermatology including surgery, pathology and light-based treatments, in addition to being able to form long-term relationships with patients.”
Dr. Mohan values connecting with his patients. He said, “I really do try to get to know my patients on a personal level and connect with them over shared interests and experiences as we see each other over time.”
Outside of work, Dr. Mohan enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, traveling, reading and fitness.
A key piece of advice Dr. Mohan likes to share with his patients is to try to watch your moles regularly for potential development of melanoma skin cancer using the "ABCDE" rule of thumb: A for asymmetry, B for border irregularities, C for color changes, D for diameter greater than 6mm (size of a pencil eraser) and E for evolving (mole changing over time or looks different from the rest of your moles). “Come in for an appointment if you notice any of these,” he said.

Dr Mohan was very helpful
-
Was very pleased with my visit with the Doctor.
-
My first visit with Dr. Mohan was the VERY BEST first visit I've ever had with a doctor. He came in and had memorized the medications I was on and my diagnoses. He was knowledgeable, overly prepared, extremely kind, and expressed compassion that I've rarely seen by any other physician. He completely blew me away with the care I received because it was excellent and every possible way!
-
Dr was very nice. Seemed rushed. Could have used a little more time to listen to my concerns.
-
He seems frustrated that I was on my phone trying to make notes of what he was saying. Didn't explained things very well and also didn't seem confident in his diagnosis.
-
Everyone listened and kept me onformed
-
I'm very impressed with Dr Mohan

Already recommended Dr. Mohan to 2 friends and one already made an appointment
-
I've already recommended him to several people just since yesterday. I had such a great experience! I felt listened to, not rushed, he was as concerned about everything as I was. I trust him. He made sure to address every single concern I had and explain risks/benefits to everything and how to use the prescriptions verbally and gave me written instructions.
-
Dr. Mohan listened to each of my concerns. He was kind and listened carefully.
-
Could not of had any better service.

Dr. Mohan was very thorough in his exam of my skin damage.
