About Me
I am very pleased to be able to help you with your skin health and look forward to meeting with you in our clinic. Until then, allow me to acquaint you a bit.
After graduating from Stanford University and then UC San Francisco Medical School, I began my first career as a pathologist with an interest in skin disease. I then decided to change my career path and become a clinical dermatologist, which is what I do today. I have been practicing dermatology at Kaiser San Rafael since 2001. It is a joy to be able to help you, my patients, and the community while practicing in a medical field I truly enjoy.
My special interests are cosmetic dermatology and dermatopathology.
My goals as your dermatologist are to help you improve the health of your skin and give you the tools to maintain it the best it can be. With my background in skin disease and aesthetic dermatology, I hope to provide you a balanced approach in order to care for and enhance your skin health.
Cosmetic Services
I am pleased to be one of a team of physicians with special expertise in aesthetic medicine and surgery. I look forward to helping you in your pursuit of your goals.
As a cosmetic dermatologist, I specialize in the treatment of wrinkles, age spots, facial redness and enlarged blood vessels, sun damage, skin tags, moles, spider veins on the legs, hair removal, and aging skin. I offer treatments with Botox, Restylane for wrinkle correction and lip enhancement, lasers, sclerotherapy, cryotherapy, chemical peels, and prescription strength skin therapies. We also have several hand-selected, professional skin care lines available that are of the highest quality and that are only available in doctor’s offices.
My approach is to customize a plan designed specifically for you, taking into account your personal goals and desires. My philosophy is to offer you a gentle, ethical and balanced approach in helping you most effectively achieve your personal aesthetic goals.
