What Tareen Dermotology does

Tareen Dermatology, P.A. is a physician-owned dermatology practice headquartered in Roseville, Minnesota, operating 11 clinic locations across Minnesota and Wisconsin with two additional sites in active rollout. Founded by Dr. Mohiba Tareen, the practice employs 40+ board-certified providers and self-positions as the largest independent dermatology practice in the Upper Midwest. Services span medical dermatology (acne, psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, skin cancer screenings), surgical dermatology (Mohs surgery, mole removal, biopsies, wound care), and cosmetic dermatology (Botox, fillers, laser treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, light therapy). Operations are supported by an in-house CAP-accredited dermatopathology laboratory, a clinical research department, a 14-month Gap Year Medical Assistant program for pre-med and pre-PA students, a "Daily Dose of Derm" educational podcast, and an in-clinic and online dispensary selling medical-grade skincare.

The practice generates revenue through three primary streams: insurance reimbursement across most major U.S. carriers (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Health Partners, Humana, Medica, Medicare, Tricare, UHC, UCare), transparent self-pay pricing ($225-$325 per visit depending on provider type and visit type), and dispensary product sales. Core technology infrastructure includes the EMA electronic medical records and patient portal platform, the Klara patient scheduling widget, the Lightspeed e-commerce backbone for the dispensary, and the Aura by Hexagon 3D imaging system deployed for cosmetic consultations, treatment planning, and progress tracking. Distribution is anchored by 11 physical clinics offering appointments within approximately three weeks, complemented by online self-scheduling, phone intake, primary-care referral channels, and active community partnerships (Minnesota Wild, Brooklyn Center Fire Department, American Red Cross, Toys for Tots).

The firm is privately held as a Professional Association under Minnesota law with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing, and it executed an acquisition of Crutchfield Dermatology in July 2023. Strategic priorities in 2026 include geographic expansion into North Dakota (Grand Forks, September 2026) and additional Wisconsin sites (Menomonie, July 2026; Osceola, May 2026), the cross-clinic roll-out of Aura 3D imaging, ongoing provider recruitment, and a $5 million endowed partnership with the University of North Dakota School of Medicine & Health Sciences to establish a Department of Dermatology and the Tareen Family Chair of Dermatology.

Direct peers

• Advanced Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery: National dermatology group offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic services across many states with a large provider roster. Comparable to Tareen on service mix, multi-clinic model, and mix of insurance and self-pay revenue, though it operates at significantly greater scale.
• Pinnacle Dermatology: PE-backed dermatology platform with a strong Midwest presence (including Illinois, Michigan, and neighboring states), offering comprehensive medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. Closest geographic comparable to Tareen among consolidators and a direct competitor for patients and dermatologists in the Upper Midwest.
• US Dermatology Partners: The largest dermatology-focused PE-backed consolidator in the U.S., operating multi-state group practices offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. Directly comparable to Tareen on service mix, multi-clinic footprint, and physician employment model, though USDP operates with far greater capital and a national footprint.
• Riverchase Dermatology: Multi-location dermatology group providing medical, surgical, and cosmetic services, with dermatopathology capabilities. Comparable to Tareen as a regional full-service dermatology practice, though concentrated in the Southeast rather than the Upper Midwest.
• Forefront Dermatology: Large PE-backed dermatology group headquartered in Wisconsin with deep Midwest presence, offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology plus dermatopathology. Most direct geographic competitor to Tareen, with overlapping markets in WI/MN and a similar full-service operating model.
• Schweiger Dermatology & Allergy: PE-backed multi-location dermatology and allergy group based in the Northeast, offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. Comparable to Tareen as a multi-site physician-led group practice expanding through de novo clinics and acquisitions; differs geographically but matches on operating model and service breadth.
• Dermatology Associates (various regional groups): Independent-to-PE-aligned regional dermatology practices offering full-service medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. Representative of the long tail of independent and mid-sized group practices that compete with Tareen for both patients and dermatologists in regional markets.

Broad incumbents

• Mayo Clinic Department of Dermatology: Academic medical center dermatology department with national brand, offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology plus fellowship training. Comparable to Tareen in Minnesota specifically and on service breadth, though it operates as part of a much larger integrated delivery system with academic and tertiary-care capabilities.
• M Health Fairview Dermatology: University-affiliated dermatology practice within a major Minnesota health system. Comparable to Tareen on medical dermatology scope and Twin Cities patient base, with academic and subspecialty depth that Tareen partially offsets via its in-house dermatopathology lab and clinical research program.
• Allina Health Dermatology: Dermatology services within a large regional health system operating across Minnesota and Wisconsin. Competes with Tareen for insured patients in overlapping geographies and offers overlapping medical and surgical dermatology, though it does not have the cosmetic depth or independent brand positioning.
