In teledermatology, she found the tool that can make it happen, bringing experts together to treat conditions and improve lives across town or around the world.<\/p>\n<p>In her third year of residency, she witnessed the international scope of telemedicine\u2019s reach. With a grant from the American Academy of Dermatology, she served as a dermatologist in Botswana, where pathology slides are regularly read by a dermatopathologist in an office in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe dermatopathologist\u2019s expertise is invaluable,\u201d Dr. David said. \u201cWithout it, many of the patients in Botswana would be left undiagnosed. Teledermatology is groundbreaking on many levels. It allows us to directly or more quickly reach patients who would not otherwise have access to a dermatologist. Teledermatology also allows us to educate primary care physicians on how to treat common skin conditions. This improves care for that primary care physician\u2019s current and future patients. Everyone benefits\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. David passionately urges patients to make solar protection a priority, not only because exposure increases risks of skin cancer but because it exacerbates many other conditions. She also encourages patients to ask questions about their skin problems and treatments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love counseling patients. I get a lot of satisfaction from helping patients understand their conditions and medications,\u201d she said. \u201cDermatologic conditions are rarely fatal, but because the skin is so visible, they can be stigmatizing. Fortunately, many chronic conditions are very controllable, and our treatments can profoundly impact a patient\u2019s quality of life and how they view themselves.\u201d<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; module_class=&#8221;bolder&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||30px&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<strong>CREDENTIALS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Medical Degree \u2013 University of Maryland School of Medicine.<br \/>\nResidency (Dermatology) \u2013 Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.<br \/>\nCertified \u2013 The American Board of Dermatology.<br \/>\nMaster\u2019s Degree (Health Policy, Planning and Financing) \u2013 London School of Economics and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; module_class=&#8221;back-to-doctors&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|on|||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#4ebcea&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<a href=\"\/our-doctors\/\">Back to Our Doctors<\/a><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Footer Section&#8221; module_id=&#8221;hero&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#585e5c&#8221; height_tablet=&#8221;485px&#8221; height_phone=&#8221;485px&#8221; height_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||70px||false|false&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;\/*background: url(\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/joyce-A012_C007_092210.0003004.jpg); *\/||background:url(\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/homepage-hero-1-with-overlay.jpg);|| background-repeat: no-repeat !important;|| background-size: cover !important;|| overflow: hidden;||position: relative;&#8221; custom_css_after=&#8221;content: &#8221;;|| display: block;|| position: absolute;|| top: 0;|| left: 0;|| width: 100%;|| height: 100%;|| background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0,0.2);|| z-index: 1;||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Hero slider text&#8221; module_class=&#8221;content cus-top-style&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;70px||0px|&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;position: relative;||z-index: 2;&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Main title&#8221; module_class=&#8221;cus-h1-style&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;30&#8243; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||1rem||false|false&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h1>Dermatology Made Easy<\/h1>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Subtitle&#8221; module_class=&#8221;cus-p-light&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The answer for in-person and online medical skin care.
