Dr. Paula Zand is a Board-Certified Family Physician specializing in Dermatology.

In fact, Dr. Paula performs all of Dr. Zand’s full skin examinations, biopsies, and cosmetic procedures such as Botox and fillers.

What Dr. Paula Offers:

• General dermatology services: full skin examinations, skin cancer screenings, mole checks, acne, rashes, and more
• Cosmetic treatments: Botox, fillers, microneedling, and lasers
• A compassionate approach characterized by angelic sweetness and thoroughness, with a strong focus on patient education

Dr. Paula is not only dedicated to her patients but also to living a balanced life filled with yoga, hiking, swimming and learning. She especially enjoys cherished moments with her two children, pathologist husband (he diagnoses skin lesions under a microscope - what a perfect match!), and beloved slobbery French Mastiff, Thor.

We are privileged to have Dr. Paula Zand as a cornerstone of our practice, and we invite you to experience her exceptional care firsthand at Zand Dermatology.
