A Milestone Worth Celebrating

This Sunday, UCF Health proudly marks a remarkable milestone: 10 years with one of Central Florida’s most distinguished dermatologists, Dr. Naveed Sami, M.D., FAAD. Over the past decade, Dr. Sami has not only transformed the lives of thousands of patients in the Orlando area: he has elevated the standard of dermatologic care across Florida and beyond.

I does not matter if you’re searching for a trusted dermatologist in Orlando, a specialist in autoimmune skin conditions, or a physician who combines world-class research with compassionate patient care, Dr. Sami’s story is one worth knowing.

Who Is Dr. Naveed Sami?

Dr. Sami is a board-certified dermatologist and Professor of Medicine at the UCF College of Medicine. He is nationally and internationally recognized as an expert in complex medical dermatology, conditions that go far beyond cosmetic skin concerns and require deep clinical expertise to diagnose and treat.

His specialties include:

For patients in Orlando and Central Florida struggling with complex or difficult-to-diagnose skin conditions, Dr. Sami offers a level of subspecialty expertise rarely found outside of major academic medical centers.

A World-Class Education Behind Every Diagnosis

Dr. Sami’s credentials are a testament to his extraordinary commitment to medicine:

  • Medical Degree — Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan
  • Dermatology Residency — University of Alabama
  • Fellowship — Harvard University, Department of Oral Medicine

Bringing Harvard-level training to a Lake Nona dermatology practice means UCF Health patients have access to an elite level of care: right here in their own community.

For patients, this means your doctor is at the forefront of dermatologic medicine — not just practicing what is known today, but helping define what is possible tomorrow.

Patients Know It Best

Numbers tell a compelling story, but Dr. Sami’s patients say it even better. Based on 811 verified patient surveys, Dr. Sami has earned outstanding scores across every dimension of care:

⭐  4.92 / 5.0  Confidence in Care

⭐  4.89 / 5.0  Clinical Satisfaction

These ratings reflect patients who trust Dr. Sami to address their health concerns and who would recommend him to their friends and family. That kind of loyalty is earned, not given.

Collaborative Care for Complex Conditions

One of Dr. Sami‘s distinguishing qualities is his commitment to team-based medicine. Because complex skin diseases often affect multiple organ systems, Dr. Sami works closely with specialists across UCF Health: including rheumatology, endocrinology, ophthalmology, and primary care, to deliver comprehensive, coordinated treatment.

For patients in the Orlando and Greater Central Florida area dealing with multisystemic conditions, this collaborative approach means fewer referrals, better communication, and more seamless care.

The broader medical community has taken notice too. Dr. Sami has been recognized as one of Orlando’s finest physicians across multiple prestigious annual lists:
