About Us
The Practice
Our vision is to be a dermatology practice that people look forward to visiting. We hope to accomplish this by being welcoming, compassionate, punctual, and providing the highest quality of dermatological care. We take great pride in helping patients restore their health by improving their skin and veins. We am also humbled by your trust in allowing our practice to provide care for you.
A big part of providing exceptional care is that you will be greeted by a team member when you call us. We make it a point to return messages as quickly as possible and never want our patients to feel like they are only talking to a recording.
Thank you for considering our practice and we look forward to seeing you at your next appointment!
Dr. Jessica Kim
I attended medical school at the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences. While there, I received a Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences, in addition to becoming a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. After school, I completed my residency in both Internal Medicine and Dermatology in West Palm Beach, Florida, at the Palm Beach Consortium Graduate Medical Education center. I am board certified in Internal Medicine and Dermatology.
Before taking over Golden Coast Dermatology, Skin Cancer and Vein Center, I practiced in Oceanside, San Marcos, Temecula and Carmel Valley. While I enjoyed my time in San Diego County, it has been a tremendous pleasure to serve South Orange County with my own practice.
My husband, Joe, serves as the Practice Manager at Golden Coast Dermatology, Skin Cancer and Vein Center. We have 2 young kids that keep us busy and are thrilled to call Mission Viejo home. We look forward to providing care in this community for many years to come.
