Dr. Kenna Schnarr is dual-boarded in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Family Medicine, bringing a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to women’s health.

She has served as the medical advisor of the Zelken Institute for Aesthetic Medicine since it was established in 2016.

During medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern, she published papers with world-renowned plastic surgeon and former editor-in-chief of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery journal (the top journal in the field), Dr. Rod Rohrich. Her meticulous nature, extraordinary calmness, and friendly demeanor gained from close to a decade of working as a board-certified pediatrician in Orange County and doing some of the most delicate procedures on tiny babies will put the most anxious patients at ease. She is thrilled to help patients map out a comprehensive treatment plan to achieve their individual aesthetic goals and explain various nonsurgical procedures in detail.
