Dr. Raymond Cho is a dermatologist and geneticist who is interested in a wide range of skin conditions, with a special focus on chronic rashes. He is passionate about understanding his patients' goals and working with them to tailor their treatment plans appropriately.

In his research, Cho utilizes emerging technologies to examine the molecular patterns shared by unusual rashes, with the goal of finding promising therapies for individual patients. His laboratory at UCSF has been recognized for discovering previously unknown genetic causes for squamous cell and basal cell cancers. His research has received funding from the National Institutes of Health, Dermatology Foundation and American Skin Association.

    I cannot say enough positive things about Dr Cho. He was absolutely wonderful. He saw me propmtly, confirmed what my problem was, then offered to take care of that day vs bringing me back in a few weeks time. He was thoughtful, funny, and very clearly told me what my problem was, what the solution would entail, and what my f/u care would require. He is everything one would hope for in an MD.

    I rarely fill out these surveys, but Dr. Cho was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I would look forward to seeing him again for future concerns. My visit with him and the nurse was pleasant and easy (which is not how I typically describe medical appointments). I would definitely recommend him to a friend.
