The Journey of Darabi Dermatology: A Story of Passion and Perseverance
After completing my rigorous medical training, I made a significant leap across state lines from Columbus, home of The Ohio State University and the capital of Ohio, to the vibrant west metro of Minneapolis. This move wasn’t just about geography; it was about being closer to family and fulfilling my goal of providing exceptional dermatological care to my patients after years of medical school, residency and fellowship training. I began my career as an employed dermatologist and Mohs surgeon within a respected local health system. However, after nine years, I found my true calling—creating a private practice that prioritized patient-centered care.
With a vision in mind, I embarked on a thrilling adventure and opened the doors to my own practice. The first three years were spent in a cozy office suite, complete with a waiting room that could barely seat seven patients and had only three exam rooms. But what we lacked in size, we made up for in heart! Within just two months, our Mohs surgery lab was certified by the state Department of Health, and on our inaugural day, I welcomed six patients through the door. The excitement was palpable!
As the founder of Darabi Dermatology, I wore many hats—dermatologist, Mohs surgeon, and even the office’s interior designer. The journey was a whirlwind, filled with challenges and triumphs. I navigated the complexities of HR management, IT issues, facilities management, interior design, supply chains, compliance and insurance credentialing and billing, bookkeeping and accounting, all while ensuring that my patients received the highest quality of care.
With dedication and hard work, I was able to build a talented team and relocate after three years to a stunning facility in Chaska, offering breathtaking views of the neighboring golf course. Welcoming Nurse Practitioner Kendyl Zeidler to our team was a pivotal moment; her extensive experience and compassionate nature brought a new dimension to our practice. Together, we expanded our services to include a variety of advanced cosmetic procedures, from laser treatments, Botox, HA fillers, chemical peels and micro-needling to PRP therapy, allowing us to cater to the diverse needs of our patients.
Nurse Practitioner Kendyl Zeidler is more than just a medical professional; she is a compassionate healer with a wealth of experience that sets her apart in the field of dermatology. Her journey began in the high-stakes world of inpatient nursing, where she honed her skills in patient care, followed by a obtaining a Nurse Practitioner degree and a role as a Cardiology Nurse Practitioner. This diverse background equipped her with a unique perspective on patient health, allowing her to understand the intricate connections between skin health and overall well-being.
Kendyl’s transition to dermatology wasn’t just a career move; it was a calling. After rigorous training in dermatological practices, she emerged not only as a qualified practitioner but as a trusted ally for her patients. In our practice, she is known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard and cared for. Whether performing skin biopsies or excisions, or offering advanced cosmetic services like Botox and laser treatments, Kendyl approaches each procedure with both expertise and empathy.
Reflecting on this journey, I realize how much I’ve grown—not just as a physician but as a leader. The most valuable lesson I’ve learned along the way is that you are often smarter and braver than you believe, and every challenge holds a solution waiting to be discovered.
