About me
Dr. Sakeen W. Kashem cares for adults with skin conditions or concerns, including aging skin, skin infections, inflammatory or autoimmune skin diseases, skin cancers, and conditions that cause itching or pain. He also cares for veterans with skin diseases at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Kashem's research explores the connection between the immune system and how we experience itch and pain. He also studies how the nervous system influences our immune response and ability to fight off cancer. His team has a particular focus on understanding how these interactions change as we age, aiming to improve treatments for skin diseases and quality of life for people who have them.
Kashem earned his medical degree from the University of Minnesota Medical School. He also has a doctorate in immunology from the University of Minnesota. He completed a residency in dermatology at UCSF and is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in neuroanatomy. In addition to patient care and research, he takes pride in educating future dermatologists.

My doctor was very thorough and thoughtful throughout my visit. He explained his rationale for doing the biopsies and was very reassuring about the potential results. I've already recommended him to my co-workers and adult sons.

Dr. Kashem listened to my concerns and answered all my questions without rushing me. I was so impressed since in the past other doctors at this practice were not so thorough. I highly recommend Dr. Kashem. He is an asset to the practice.

This Dr was very patient and approachable, with no pressure of any time constraint. I felt like his only patient, and came home with information and suggestions to improve my condition.

Extremely efficient, informative, professional in every way. Just what I would hope for in this kind of visit.
