“Z Dermatology and Desirea Macias are wonderful. The office is clean and bright. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Desirea made me feel very at ease. She explained what was a concern and what wasn't. She quickly advised the treatment plan and follow up needs. Dealing with skin concerns could be frightening if your provider is less informative or doesn't have a calming demeanor. But with Desirea, I felt like I had all the info I needed after a concise visit, and we had a treatment plan going forward.
Anyone who visits this practice will be in good, caring hands.
Thank you Z Dermatology! ”

I have been in practice for 25 years. During that time I have treated thousands of clients with High Blood Pressure, Elevated Cholesterol and Diabetes as well as Depression and Anxiety and Painful Conditions. Like most physicians I would briefly recommend diet and exercise and then prescribe medication. Most of the time one medication was not enough and their conditions usually worsened over time.
Now I offer a different approach. I emphasize the lifestyle changes that actually get to the root of these problems.
I personally have been adjusting my lifestyle. I still take medications when my doctors prescribe them but through my Eating Habits, some moderate Activity and practicing Mindfulness I am decreasing rather than increasing medications. I lost 40 pounds, improved my Blood Pressure, corrected my Cholesterol and most importantly improved my Pain and Mood.
I am passionate to help others achieve the results of their goals as well.

Dr. Elain Tong was born in Pasadena, CA. Her interest in medicine began at a young age, after suffering multiple ankle injuries from years of dancing classical ballet. Her injuries were successfully treated by her father (Yee-Wing Tong, MD) with NBE therapy, or Neuro-Bioenergetics treatment, a therapy he developed combining western anesthetic nerve blocks and trigger point injections with acupuncture and the principles of Chinese medicine. This allowed her to continue dancing, performing, and competing with little downtime. When she was 15, her father taught her the NBE technique to help treat his own chronic illnesses. It was these experiences that led her to pursue a career in medicine. Dr. Elain graduated from UCLA with a major in Psychobiology and a minor in Classical Civilization, and then went on to study Chinese Medicine for two years at Samra University in Los Angeles. She received her medical degree from Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine.
