Our Services

We recommend that everyone get a yearly skin cancer screening. Increasingly we see skin cancer in young adults as well as older adults. It's important to diagnose skin cancer early.

The skin's quality is a window to how the rest of one's body is functioning. Skin disease could be a sign of poor heart or liver health. We all need to keep our skin clear from disease.

As we age, our appearance changes which can sometimes lead to one not feeling like one's best self. Advances in science and treatments have led to better outcomes in procedures to keep looking and feeling your best.

Painful or unsightly veins can really diminish people's quality of life. In addition to the important recommendation of daily compression socks, we have a range of procedures.

Testimonials

  • "Had been going to a dermatologist for YEARS for acne treatment with no results and no plan. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Jessica Kim and IMMEDIATELY she gave me an actual solution to my acne. All the staff were wonderful, the office was modern and clean, and Dr. Kim was an absolute sweetheart. So worth paying out of my own pocket."

    Sheida A.

  • "I had a mole on my face that formed over the recent years. I have never seen a dermatologist before, so I was hesitant to do anything about this growing mole. Dr. Kim scheduled me immediately and provided the best dermatology experience for me. She removed the mole for me quickly, with zero discomfort, and zero scarring! The entire staff was so kind and professional. I highly recommend Golden Coast and Dr. Jessica Kim!"

    Johee C.

  • "I went in for a consult about some veins that have really made an appearance after two pregnancies. At this same appointment, I also got some Botox and lip filer with Dr. Jessica Kim. This is such a phenomenal doctor, I'm so glad I came here for veins because otherwise I would have just been going to my current dermatologist. Now, I'm switching completely to Golden Coast."

  • "Dr. Jessica Kim is an amazing dermatologist and one of the kindest, friendliest doctors I've met. I'm a nurse and trust Dr. Kim with all my medical and cosmetic dermatology needs. She's incredibly knowledgeable and highly skilled. My skin looks years younger thanks to chemical peels with Dr. Kim. I highly recommend her to all my friends and family."

  • "Dr. Kim was friendly, attentive and welcoming. She explained my diagnosis, provided options and allowed me to choose the best option. She complete a biopsy in minutes with such efficiency that I hardly noticed that she was done. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kim."
