Tanya Y Evans, MD

Tanya Y. Evans, M.D. is a board-certified dermatologist and clinical researcher with decades of experience in treating patients with skin conditions. She currently serves as Medical Director for Skin Cancer Screening at MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center.

Dr. Evans knew she wanted to be a dermatologist from a young age. 

“I was always fascinated by different rashes and skin conditions, and how treating patients and their skin can make such a big impact in peoples’ lives,” she says. “It’s gratifying when I know I have helped them either clear up their rash or have removed their skin cancer.”

Dr. Evans sees every patient as a unique individual. “I go out of my way to help my patients,” she notes. “I tailor every treatment to each person and take into account any restrictions or limitations they may have. I really like to get to know my patients and their families. Most of the time I see multiple generations within the same family.”

As a researcher actively involved in various clinical trials, Dr. Evans is an expert in assessing the suitability of treatments and medications for addressing various skin concerns. She has also published numerous articles in peer-reviewed medical journals. “I get great satisfaction in diagnosing skin conditions that have not been diagnosed for years,” she states. “I also enjoy doing cosmetic procedures and seeing my patients’ excitement after their procedure.”

Dr. Evans and her family immigrated to the United States from Iraq when she was ten and grew up in Loma Linda, California. She speaks Arabic and Assyrian.

In her time away from the office, Dr. Evans says she is “Involved with my church. I teach kindergarten Sabbath school. I also enjoy spending time with my family and with my two dogs.”
