One night on ICU shift, a coworker casually said, “Hey… I’m applying to grad school, come do it with me!”

I had never even considered being a nurse practitioner. I truly didn’t know if I was “smart enough,” brave enough, or ready. The deadline was Monday… and this was Friday night. 😅

I was terrified — but something in me said jump. So I did. Headfirst. Full of fear.

That single yes changed my entire life.

It led me to a career I love more than I ever imagined — one that challenges me, fulfills me, and lets me care for patients in a way that feels deeply meaningful. I’m endlessly grateful for the people who trust me with their care, and for the incredible team I get to work alongside every day. This crew makes the long days lighter, the hard moments easier, and the wins so much sweeter.

Sometimes all it takes is one brave yes… and the right people around you to help you grow into the life you didn’t even know you were dreaming of. 🤍✨

This little video clip is just a snapshot of the warmth and dedication we feel going into the new year. We truly believe in making each moment count and in celebrating the wonderful community we get to serve. Thank you for trusting us with your care and for being part of our dermatology family. Here’s to a healthy, happy, and absolutely fabulous 2026!

Winter walks are good for the soul—but winter weather can be tough on your skin. ❄️
A few dermatology tips to protect your skin while you’re out enjoying the snow:

• Moisturize before you go – think barrier repair, not just lotion
• Don’t skip sunscreen – snow reflects up to 80% of UV rays
• Protect exposed skin – scarves, hats, and gloves matter
• Lip care is essential – wind + cold = chapped lips fast
• Cleanse gently when you get home – avoid hot water and harsh soaps

Nature is healing. Protect your skin so you can enjoy it all winter long. 🤍

Winter lips don’t stand a chance. ❄️💋
One of my favorite go-to products for severely dry, cracked, irritated lips—especially for my Accutane patients—is Dr. Dan’s Corti-Balm.

It’s a gentle hydrocortisone-based lip balm formulated specifically for chapped, peeling, and painful lips, and it works when nothing else does. If you struggle with winter dryness or irritation from acne medications, this might be exactly what you need.

✨ From the bottom of my heart… thank you. ✨
As we enter this holiday season, I’m reflecting on how deeply grateful I am for every one of my patients. Thank you for trusting me with your health, your skin journeys, and the personal stories you share along the way. Each of you has touched my life in a meaningful way, and I carry that with me every day.

I hope your holidays are filled with love, peace, comfort, and joy — the kind that warms your heart and reminds you how cherished you are.

It is truly an honor to care for you. ❤️
