Gunjan Modi, MD, FAAD, FACMS

Double Board-Certified Dermatologist & Mohs Surgeon

Fellowship, UT Southwestern Medical Center

Gunjan Modi is a double board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon. He was born in Buffalo, New York, but grew up and graduated from high school in Sugar Land, Texas. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He went on to medical school at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, where he graduated with honors.

Dr. Modi remained at Baylor to do his dermatology residency, where he scored in the top 1% of all residents in the country on the national dermatology inservice examination. He then completed a fellowship in Mohs surgery, cutaneous oncology, and procedural dermatology at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he was voted outstanding teaching fellow.

During his fellowship, Dr. Modi developed a keen interest in the management of solid organ transplant recipients with skin cancer, and he is now an active member of the International Transplant Skin Cancer Collaborative. He also specializes in the use of immunoperoxidase stains in Mohs surgery. These stains make it possible to treat more aggressive cancers — melanoma, high-risk squamous cell carcinoma — with the same tissue-sparing, margin-controlled surgery.

Dr. Modi is married and has two young boys.
