A Rancho Mirage dermatology practice has picked up a community award, giving patients in the Coachella Valley another signal on where to find specialized skin cancer treatment.
Contour Dermatology won the Best of the Desert Community Choice Award in April 2026, the practice announced. The recognition covers the practice's full range of services, from medical dermatology to cosmetic procedures and hair restoration.
Dr. Timothy Jochen leads the practice. He holds board certification in Mohs Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery from the American Board of Dermatology, a credential that requires additional training beyond general dermatology. Mohs surgery removes skin cancer layer by layer, with immediate microscopic examination of each slice. The technique spares healthy tissue while clearing the malignancy.
Jochen also serves as an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Southern California, where he has been named Teacher of the Year multiple times. He founded Contour Dermatology in 2001.
The practice offers Mohs surgery alongside other skin cancer treatments, cosmetic dermatology, and hair restoration. Patients in the Palm Springs area seeking a board-certified specialist for skin cancer consultation can find the practice at its Rancho Mirage location.
