Bio

Dr. Marzooq is a passionate, board-certified dermatologist who has helped thousands of patients with their skin. He completed three medical residencies, including two in dermatology and one in internal medicine. He is happy to be in the Pacific Northwest after years in the scorching heat of Phoenix, Houston, and Baghdad, Iraq. The move brought him closer to family, cooler temperatures, and a much greener landscape, which he loves. 

With years of education and life experience, Dr. Marzooq can efficiently diagnose skin conditions (particularly cancers) on a variety of skin tones. He practices empathy and understanding in both English and Arabic.

Dr. Marzooq prides himself on working with everyone with an open mind and open heart. Through his residency programs, he has worked with many underserved communities, both in the U.S. and in war-torn regions of the world.
