About me

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.

Cho earned his medical degree and his doctorate in genetics at Stanford University School of Medicine. He completed a residency in dermatology and a fellowship in molecular medicine at UCSF. He lectures at UCSF and at conferences in the U.S. and abroad.

      I liked this provider much better than my usual dermatologist. He explained things very clearly and in a deeper way, which I appreciated.

      Dr. Cho's competence and intelligence are matched by his compassion and genuine interest in my family and me. He is very efficient, but he takes the time to listen.

      I really enjoy my appointments with Dr. Cho. I always learn so much (about what's genetic, what's something I can do something about, and what all my options are). The timing of this survey is great, I actually told all 3 people I met with today how much fun I have at my appointments with Dr. Cho and that they should see him if they have issues.
