Finding dermatologists in Tulare usually means going next door to Visalia: the practices on this page have Visalia addresses, and none lists a street in Tulare. They have collected more than 1,800 Google reviews between them, all rated 4.8, so the choice comes down to review volume and what each practice focuses on, from Mohs skin-cancer surgery to cosmetic work.

Short answer: Skin and Cancer Institute - Visalia leads on review volume, rated 4.8 from more than 970 Google reviews, followed by Lux Dermatology (4.8, more than 340) and Peak Dermatology (4.8, more than 260). Ratings tie across the page, so volume decides the order. These practices are in Visalia, the neighboring city.

How the ratings work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated the practice, compared with other dermatologists in the same search. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume. Recency reflects how recently patients still leave reviews. Because every practice here shares the same rating, volume sets the order. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What affects dermatology costs near Tulare?

We have no sourced local price table, so none appears here. What you pay depends on whether the visit is medical or cosmetic, which tests or procedures are needed, and your insurance plan. Medical visits and cosmetic treatments are often billed differently, so ask the office what applies to you and request an estimate in writing.

Frequently asked questions

Are there dermatologists in Tulare itself?

The practices on this page all have Visalia street addresses, and none lists a street in Tulare. Call to confirm the Visalia office, since several of these practices have more than one location.

Which of these practices offer Mohs skin-cancer surgery?

The websites of Skin and Cancer Institute, Lux Dermatology and Peak Dermatology list Mohs surgery, and a reviewer of Dr. Carlos Paz describes having Mohs surgery there. Ask the office whether your specific case would be treated on site.

Will I see a dermatologist or a physician assistant?

Reviewers of Lux, Peak and Paz describe visits with physician assistants or nurse practitioners, and Skin and Cancer Institute reviewers name a doctor. Ask who you will see when you book.
