“Dr. Madkan was punctual, polite, and professional. The parking was easy, the receptionists were kind, the wait was minimal, and the appointment with the doctor was thorough. It was worth the 45 minute drive to see Dr. Madkan and her team!”

About Dr. Vandana Madkan
Dr. Vandana Madkan is a board-certified dermatologist and fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. She not only enjoys practicing the full breadth of medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology, but also feels passionately about educating physicians and patients alike on the important aspects of medical to cosmetic skin health. She lectures nationally on the identification and treatment of skin disease and works actively with patient groups such as the National Psoriasis Foundation and National Alopecia Areata Foundation to promote new therapies for patients. Dr Madkan has also traveled to Cuba to study different health care systems and observe the implementation of psoralens and other plants in medicinal therapies.?
Dr. Madkan trained at the prestigious MD Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Texas Health Sciences Center where she served as chief resident in her final year. She then joined a locally well respected and academically inclined private practice in Houston where she was sub-investigator for the clinical trials that brought Humira to market for psoriasis in 2008 and was also principal investigator for the clinical trials that brought Otezla to market for psoriasis in 2015. She left Texas and returned to California, where she lived as a young child, to oversee the psoriasis clinic at UCLA where she was honored by the residency program as Outstanding Teacher of the Year. She left UCLA as Assistant Professor of Dermatology in 2013 to begin her own practice with locations in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills to increasingly focus on patient care and expand on her previous clinical trial experience by opening a clinical trials center attached to an international consortium of trial physicians called Probity Medical Group. In 2021 she moved back to Houston, Texas to continue her work in private practice and to be closer to family.
