Rao Dermatology

I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Contreras. When I came in as a new patient, he did not hesitate to provide treatment for my condition right away. In most clinics, they make you come back to receive treatment. He also prescribed me a medication and gave me a coupon that would make it free. Even with insurance, the prescription would have costs hundreds if it weren’t for the coupon. I will continue to go back for any of my skin care needs.

I’ve been struggling with psoriasis for about 4 yrs now and I’ve been jumping around from dermatologist to dermatologist. I’m so glad I got referred to Dr. Rao who is an amazing dermatologist. He not only prescribed the appropriate treatment for my condition but felt like he actually cared. Not to mention his beautiful and friendly staff who were very friendly and courteous. They where on top of every appointment I had and even made reminder calls just in case. I’m a very picky kind of guy specially when it comes to my medical needs. Will definitely recommend this to friends and family!

My daughter has been coming to this practice since 2008 for an issue with her hand. The Dr’s properly diagnosed her and provided her w/​the appropriate treatment and she has not had a problem since.
Fast forward, my daughter is now a tween and she has been experiencing the dreaded puberty acne. However, she had developed a rash on her nose that would not go away. I took her to our PCP and they prescribed antibiotics, but the problem did not go away. They got my daughter a referral, and sent us back to Rao Dermatology.
I was happy to hear that they had opened a location in our own town, rather than make the hour drive to Fresno. Their Hanford location is VERY SMALL (waiting room) and thus the seating is limited. The office staff has brought out chairs though for people that did not have a seat, which was really nice.
The office staff are really sweet, and one of the girls in particular that has stood out to me personally is Yuri. She is super sweet, and very helpful. Every time I have had to call the office, she is very thorough and helpful and has always answered my questions, or got the answer for me.
Joseph Contreras, P.A. is awesome. He is really good w/​my daughter and she feels at ease talking to him. He is very knowledgeable and helpful at helping understand the treatment plan.
My daughters issue was getting better, but then started to get back again so Joseph wanted us to go to the Fresno office and see Dr. Tareen. We went to the office, which is located on the 3^rd floor of the building. The only thing that bothered me about the visit to this office was that you cannot access the stairs from the 1^st floor. The stairs are locked and you can only access them thru a keypad if you are staff. The elevator here is tiny and hot inside, not a fun ride.
Anyways, Dr. Tareen came in about an hour of us waiting. She was really good w/​my daughter and super friendly. She kept touching my daughters hair and telling her how pretty she is, and just really making my daughter feel comfortable… the motherly instincts were def showing in the Dr. She started my daughter on some new meds and cream, and wants her to follow up w/​Dr. Rao himself.
This office is great, and I am glad that we were able to come here. They give you a lot of info, and sometimes its hard to process/​remember, but they are very patient until you understand. I would def recommend them to someone that has kids going thru similar issues

What a fantastic Dr’s office! I was treated with such care and everyone treated me with respect! Would recommend this dermatologists office to everyone!
