Our Philosophy

Torrey Pines Dermatology is committed to providing the highest level of patient care in a welcoming, warm environment. Whether patients visit our office for medical, surgical, or cosmetic dermatology concerns, we offer educational support to aid patients in making informed decisions about their healthcare needs.

Board-Certified Dermatologists

Patients at Torrey Pines Dermatology in La Jolla are cared for by a highly trained, board-certified dermatologist, a board-certified PA-C, our friendly medical assistants, or our in-house licensed medical esthetician. Learn about the education and experience of our skilled dermatologists.

Medical Dermatology

The health of our patients’ skin is our highest priority. Whether a patient is suffering from a harmless but annoying case of dermatitis, or has discovered a potentially cancerous lesion, we take each case seriously and make it our mission to provide effective treatment. Learn about some of the common skin diseases and the treatment options available at Torrey Pines Dermatology.

Mohs Surgery

Mohs micrographic surgery is the most effective and state-of-the-art procedure for skin cancer today, which offers the highest potential for recovery – even if the skin cancer has been previously treated by another method and recurred. Dr. Kristen Richards, one of our highly experienced dermatologists, is Fellowship-trained in Mohs micrographic surgery.

Cosmetic Dermatology

At Torrey Pines Dermatology, we also recognize that cosmetic skin problems, such as wrinkling, sun damage, acne scarring, and unwanted hair, can cause our patients as much concern as many medical conditions. Our cosmetic dermatology treatments are designed to safely and effectively reduce the effects of aging and skin damage to give our patients the healthy, youthful looking skin they desire.
