About Reza Kafi
Dr. Reza Kafi was drawn to the specialty of dermatology because of the versatility of practice. “We see patients from the start to the finish of their conditions, and we can also experience the visual diagnosis, progressing through pathology and ending through treatment or surgical intervention,” he says. “This is unique to the field and very compelling to me.”
Yet while he treats complex medical and surgical dermatology patients, Dr. Kafi remains focused on the whole person as his highest priority and treasures each encounter. “I feel it is an honor and privilege to be allowed to care for a patient’s overall health and improve their quality of life.”
Dr. Kafi, a board-certified dermatologist, earned his undergraduate degree in biology and medical degree from the University of Michigan. He went on to complete his internship nearby at Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn and his residency training with Stanford University.
Having grown up in Michigan and attended the state’s flagship university, he still enjoys Michigan football today. While not working, he loves tennis, the outdoors, and spending time with his family.

Dr. Kafi was super to remove my lesion for biopsy. He is very professional and caring toward me.
Providence Patient
The visit was rushed once provider was present. The medical assistant or nurse was thorough and didn't seemed rush but the provider was rushed, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable but rushed. It was off putting as if he had more important things to do. I didn't feel like I could ask all the questions I had or ask for more information on some of the answers I received.

Excellent Care
Providence Patient
My appt was for a routine skin cancer checkup, since my skin type is highly susceptible for cancer. While there, I mentioned that I have had an unusual spot on my arm that has bothered me for 30+ years. In the past, when I asked other providers about it, I was either laughed at or brushed off. When I mentioned it to Dr Kafi, he listened, understood my concerns about it, and said he wanted to do a skin biopsy. Finally! Someone actually listened to me! Someone actually understood why I worry about that spot! Someone actually treated me with respect and made me feel important enough to do something about it! And when the biopsy results came back, he messaged me sooner than expected to explain what it is, that it's benign, and that "this is good news!" Many other providers' approaches are that 'no news is good news' and I appreciate that he would let me know the results regardless. DR KAFI IS FANTASTIC and I feel very lucky that he is my doctor.
Providence Patient
Dr Kafi is the best dermatologist I have ever had. He had read all my medical history before the first time he saw me. He is knowledgeable, kind and easy to communicate with. I have a lot of skin issues from too much sun exposure in my life. He keeps a close eye on these issues and I have great confidence he will take good care of me. Thank You Dr. Kafi!!!
Providence Patient
Upon entry to the waiting room of the clinic, I was immediately greeted at the front desk with a smile and welcomed greeting. It set a pleasant tone to the atmosphere. This was my first time at this location. It was lovely to engage in small talk with her. My wait time in the waiting room after check in had to been under 5 minutes. That was nice too. The doctor and MA were wonderful and so nice. I will return here for dermatology care checkups.
Providence Patient
