My path into Dermatology and Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery was fueled by a singular lecture given by a Mohs Surgeon, Tatyana Humphreys, at Jefferson Medical College. What she did and could do for her patients was exactly what I aspired to do for mine.
Microscopic Dermatologic Surgery - meticulous surgical techniques with the art of skin preservation. With medical, surgical and cosmetic care, the practice of advanced dermatology gives me the skills to improve another person's quality of life.
My specialty allows me to engage in detailed, hands-on work that is both challenging and rewarding. The opportunity to make a tangible difference in my patients' lives, restoring health and confidence is what inspires me and makes me happy every day in my practice.
For 15 years as a private practice dermatologic surgeon in San Jose, California, and In almost 20 years of surgical work as a fellowship-trained and board-certified Dermatologic Micrographic surgeon and volunteer skin cancer surgeon in California, Nevada and Hawai'i, I have performed curative and reconstructive surgeries for over 7,000 people in 5 American states and three countries and provide specialty care for over 15,000 people with non-surgical dermatologic needs and emergency medical consultations locally. I created an innovative skincare line to bring the finest quality skin care products to my patients.
