Sarah Arron, Ph.D., M.D.

Dermatologic surgeon

Dr. Sarah Arron, a dermatologic surgeon, is director of the High Risk Skin Cancer Program, which cares for patients who are at risk for skin cancer due to organ transplant, leukemia, lymphoma or genetic syndromes. She specializes in an advanced procedure called Mohs micrographic surgery to treat certain types of skin cancer. Arron also is an expert in facial reconstruction following surgery, laser surgery, dermatology for organ transplant recipients and for those with genetic risk factors for skin cancer. In addition, she performs cosmetic procedures including Botox and soft tissue fillers.

Arron's research interests include studying skin cancer, particularly in patients who are immunosuppressed. She earned a medical degree at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and a doctorate at The Rockefeller University. She completed a residency in dermatology and a fellowship in Mohs micrographic surgery and procedural dermatology at UCSF. Arron is an assistant professor in residence of dermatology at UCSF and the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center.
