PERSON: Vic Narurkar

Bay Area Laser Institute

Founder

Founder of the Bay Area Laser Institute, Dr. Narurkar graduated from Brown University and received his MD from Stanford University, where he also completed a residency in dermatology and was selected as chief resident. He then completed a two year fellowship in MOHS (skin cancer) surgery, as well as laser and cosmetic dermatologic surgery with Philip Bailin, the pioneer of laser applications for skin, at the Cleveland Clinic. As a fellow, Dr. Narurkar was involved in developing pulsed dye and alexandrite lasers used for birthmark and tattoo removal. Upon completion of his fellowship, he was appointed as the Dermatology Director and Assistant Professor at UC Davis Laser Center, where he was the original investigator for laser hair reduction with alexandrite and diode lasers, pulsed dye and KTP lasers for port cosmetic vascular lesions and skin resurfacing with CO2 lasers.
Dr. Narurkar lectures both nationally and internationally, and is the author of over 100 publications as well as several book chapters. He is on the Editorial Board of several journals including The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology and is actively involved in several pro-bono groups such as Project New Start, a Bay Area program high risk youth that removes tattoos using laser technology. In 2009, he was appointed Chair of Dermatology at California Pacific Medical Center (www.cpmc.org), San Francisco’s oldest hospital.
Although Dr. Narurkar continues to be a pioneer for new and improved practices, he maintains personal treatment with each of his patients at Bay Area Laser Institute. Believing in the importance of training and patient safety, he does not delegate any cosmetic procedures such as injectables to his staff. Due to his hands on approach and extensive experience, Dr. Narurkar is sought after by other physicians and their families.
