About Me

Badri Modi, M.D., is an associate clinical professor of dermatology at City of Hope® Cancer Center Duarte. 

Dr. Modi is an expert in skin health, which plays an important role in the treatment plans for many cancer patients. He is dedicated to helping people manage skin-related health issues during their cancer journeys, and he specializes in detecting and treating high-risk skin cancers like melanoma. He is also an expert in providing leading-edge care for patients who experience skin health side effects related to cancer treatments such as chemotherapy for leukemia or breast cancer. 

Dr. Modi earned his medical degree from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, then went on to complete an internal medicine internship at Massachusetts General Hospital. He trained in dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where he was also named chief resident. He has authored many research papers on topics related to cancer care and dermatology. 

What drives Dr. Modi most is making a difference in lives of patients facing complex cancers and their side effects.

Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.

"Dr. Modi is Wonderful. He is very knowledgeable, explains what he's going to do, listens to my concerns & sometimes gives me choices for a type of treatment. He is sensitive to the fact that I'm a "pain wimp". If he biopsies something he already knows it is skin cancer and he promptly call me when he has the biopsy results then explains treatment plan."

"My main concern with the provider is that he seemed rushed and in a hurry to be done with me. I was most disappointed when he actually said "OK, I gotta go". I have never ever had a doctor say that to me during a doctor visit. He also did not explain alternative treatment options for my skin lesions that sometime bleed at night staining the sheets. He seemed to suggest the only thing we could do was freeze them with liquid nitrogen. I would not recommend this doctor to a friend."

"Dr. Badri Modi is an excellent physician/surgeon as he is so highly intelligent, skilled, professional, great sense of humor, and truly knows skin inside and out. He has caught so many skin cancers and has removed so many of my skin cancers and he is so excellent that even though the cut was large due to the size of the cancer, my wound has healed so beautifully that no one would know how bad it was. He is of the highest caliber and I feel so fortunate to be under the care of such an amazing doctor! Dr. Modi deserves the highest recognition as he has been simply amazing!"
