OUR CLINICIANS

DR ATTIYA HAROON MD,PHD, FAAD

I completed my dermatology residency from Rutgers, RWJMS, where I also served as a Chief resident. I did PhD in medicine from the University of Ryukyus, Okinawa Japan. During my PhD I won the best researcher award. I chose dermatology for my passion to be able to help patients with skin cancer and make a difference in their life by creating awareness, early diagnosis and intervention. I love all fields of dermatology but am passionate about antiaging, skin cancer and innovative cosmetic dermatology. My biggest strength is my easy to talk and friendly nature.

My favorite products at Rao dermatology are brightening pads and of course sunscreen.

I love travelling with my family and friends and trying new skincare products.

BREE PARKER, PA

Bree Parker, PA graduated from Bethel University in Minnesota after working in orthopedic medical device sales for four years. Bree decided to switch her career to becoming a Physician Assistant so she could have more of a hands-on role treating patients. Bree chose Dermatology because she is passionate about helping patients develop or regain confidence through achieving clear skin and maintaining proper skin health. Her goal is for patients to be able to focus on the bigger moments of life and not allow a skin condition to serve as a source of anxiety, distraction, or pain. Bree’s dermatology interests include acne, skin cancer treatment and prevention, laser treatments, and injectables such as Botox & fillers to enhance the overall appearance and promote confidence. In her free time, Bree enjoys anything outdoors, but especially boating with her husband and two dachshunds.

IRENE SAWYER

I am a dedicated Nurse Practitioner with a strong background in critical care, having transitioned from the fast-paced environment of the hospital to the specialized field of dermatology. I completed my nursing undergraduate and graduate programs at West Coast University, earning qualifications as a Family Nurse Practitioner and in Executive Leadership. My passion lies in helping patients manage and overcome various skin conditions, ranging from acne to skin cancer, and in creating personalized skincare regimens using cosmeceuticals and in-office procedures.

When it comes to skincare, I trust Colorscience for sun protection and rely on Rao Needle Free Serum for overall anti-aging. Beyond my professional life, I am blessed with an amazing and supportive husband and four beautiful children, whom I affectionately call “my Bigs and Littles.” In my free time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my family, traveling, running, practicing Pilates and yoga, and exploring different cuisines.
