A little bit about me:

I have been a licensed RN since 1977 and Family Nurse Practitioner since 1982.  After having practiced in the areas of Emergency and Internal medicine I became a

Dermatology Nurse Practitioner in 1991.   I practiced at Beverly Hills Dermatology Consultants in Beverly Hills until 2002 when I moved to the San Fernando Valley where I live currently. 

I have offices in Los Angeles San Fernando valley, Santa Clarita, and the Antelope Valley in California.

I am a board certified family nurse practitioner and  a member of the Dermatology Nurses Association and the Nurse Practitioner Society of the DNA.

I work in conjunction with dermatologists and plastic surgeons to provide quality care to my patients.

I take a great deal of pride in having treated generations of patients who have returned to see my and have referred their families and friends to me for the same quality care that I have delivered to all my patients for the last 30+ years.

Let me tell you a little bit about the types of problems I treat and how I may differ from other providers you may have seen previously:

Customized skin care - I take a thorough medical history and customize your skin care treatment to optimize results.

I take special pride in treating even the most stubborn cases of acne, rosacea, cysts and the redness, scarring, or hyperpigmented (darkening ) of skin that result from those conditions.  I see many patients who have been elsewhere and had no results and have worked with them to successfully manage their problem.

I evaluate the patient with aging or sundamaged skin issues and customize treatment that will manage age spots, sun spots, wrinkles, dry skin and damaged skin

to rejuvenate their appearance.  Unlike many purely "cosmetic" nurses who treat only looks, I am able to evaluate and treat pre cancer and skin cancer conditions.   Together we will develop a custom plan for you that will not only make you look good, but also maintain skin health and prevent or treat skin cancer.

"Wrinkle relaxers"  -- Botox and  Dysport.  I have been a Botox injector since it was FDA approved and have vast experience in giving you the most natural results.

I have seen people who were unhappy with the treatments they received elsewhere and customized a regimen for them with fantastic results

"Wrinkle fillers"  --  Juvederm, Restalyne, Radiesse and all the newest and most long lasting natural looking products on the market currently.

Skin cancer and mole checks  - a complete and comprehensive head to toe skin exam for skin cancers and evaluation of moles.  We will discuss what is benign,

what should be watched, and what , if anything should be removed in order to maintain your skin health and prevent / treat skin cancers. 

I take great pride in my extremely comprehensive skin exams and identification and treatment of any pre cancer or cancerous skin lesions.

Removing of moles, warts, skin tags from your skin with virtually painless techniques and optimize scar prevention.

General dermatology skin management for rashes, psoriasis, and all general skin concerns.

I will look forward to managing not just the day to day concerns but also preparing you for the special events in your life:

Weddings, Proms, Anniversaries, School and Family Reunions, Cruises, Job Interviews, Special Dates and other important events in your life.
