More info

Southern Marin Dermatology was born from the idea that dermatological patient care could use a makeover. At SMD, we value providing a complete and personalized patient experience. This starts at the first office visit and extends to all post-treatment care. Packaged with exceptional care and knowledge from our world-class trained physicians, SMD zaps the one-size fits all health care model of the past. We understand the complexity inherent to treating the whole patient, not just the skin. We know that skin health and overall health are intimately linked, so we take the time to collaborate with patients to tailor a medical or cosmetic regimen that will address individual skin needs and lifestyle. Together, we’ll create the optimal treatment plan, utilizing the full breadth of modern medicine, from prescription products to state-of-the-art lasers. By combining patient preferences with our expertise in the most recent research and techniques, we are confident our patients will achieve the safest and best possible outcomes for their skin.
