Dr. Zand has been my dermatologist since she first began practicing in Marin County, and I am happy to give her my highest recommendation. She is a certified MOHS surgeon, has impeccable academic and medical credentials (Harvard, MIT), is thorough in her examinations, brilliant at answering questions, and absolutely superb in her interpersonal manner with patients. Several years ago she discovered a cancer on the edge of my upper lip which required a very delicate MOHS surgery. She was quick to recognize my dread and high anxiety, spent more time than any other doctor would in providing me additional consultations to explain MOHS, reviewed with me her portfolio of before and after surgery photos, and assuaged my frantic worries with honesty and complete explanations. My outcome was beyond what I could have wished for. The original surgical sutures (the black stitches that make you look like Frankenstein) which went from my lip line to below my cheekbone were gone in no time, and I have NO SCAR or any evidence of surgery on my face. My result speaks to her skill. In addition, I see Dr. Zand for regular skin cancer checkups, for Botox, for general skin care advice, and I recommend her to everyone I know. This young doctor is a rare find – an exceptionally skilled doctor and surgeon who hopefully will be in practice in Marin for a long, long time.
