Our History
The establishment of DermaCare emerged from recognizing a significant gap in dermatological services. Our founding dermatologists, Dr. Eleanor Vance and Dr. Marcus Chen, both graduates of Stanford Medical School with decades of combined clinical experience, observed that patients often faced difficult choices between purely medical approaches and aesthetic considerations.
Determined to bridge this divide, they created a practice where medical dermatology and cosmetic procedures exist in harmony. This integrated philosophy allows us to address the full spectrum of skin health needs, from life-saving skin cancer treatments to confidence-restoring aesthetic procedures.
Today, our team includes twelve board-certified dermatologists, four dermatopathologists, and over thirty supporting healthcare professionals. We operate from a purpose-built 15,000 square foot facility equipped with the most advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies available.
