Expert Pediatric Dermatology Care—Close To Home

For parents in Contra Costa County and surrounding communities, having a child with a complex medical condition used to mean spending lots of time traveling all over the Bay Area for visits with children’s specialists. 

Through our collaboration with Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, we evaluate and manage both common and complex skin conditions in children and teens of all ages—right here, close to home.    

In addition to your pediatric dermatologist, your child’s care team may also include nurses and other healthcare providers—all who have advanced training in specifically treating children and teens.

The most enjoyable part of my job is being a detective. A patient comes in with symptoms and I help figure out what is causing their problem and then create a care plan to help treat it. With children you can make a really big impact on their lives. Whether it's sunscreen or skin care, I like to help build healthy habits in children that they can carry with them through their entire lives.

The great thing about dermatology is that everything we are dealing with we can see with our eyes. Not only can I see it but the patient can see it too. Most medical conditions take place only inside the body where the patient can't see the progress. When things are working in dermatology, I know it and they know it. You get to really see the results with your own eyes and that's very rewarding.

As a doctor, my approach is to build trusted partnerships with families and children so that I can understand their treatment goals and help them achieve these goals in ways that are most comfortable for them. It’s important to me that both parents and children feel heard and understood. It is a joy to care for kids as they grow -- from infants to children to successful teens. Having a skin condition can be challenging. I love helping kids have healthy skin so they can focus on having fun!
