Dermatologist Physician-Scientist
Board-certified dermatologist and physician-scientist with extensive experience in the clinical care and biological study of skin disease. My work bridges evidence-based medical and surgical dermatology with translational research in keloids and rare genetic skin conditions.
Areas of Focus
• Medical and surgical dermatology
• Keloids and pathologic scarring
• Rare and inherited skin diseases
• Translational skin biology and genomics
Philosophy
My approach to dermatology is grounded in accuracy, continuity and integrity. Each patient encounter reflects principles drawn from both clinical medicine and scientific investigation—careful evaluation, evidence-based decision-making, and an emphasis on trying to achieve durable outcomes rather than focusing on short-term interventions.
Integrating Clinical Care and Scientific Insight
Throughout my career, I have worked at the intersection of patient care and biomedical research, with a focus on complex skin conditions and aberrant/excessive wound healing. This perspective informs a diagnostic and treatment approach that emphasizes thoughtful assessment, individualized planning, and long-term follow-up—particularly for chronic or treatment-resistant conditions.
