About Dr. Peterson Pierre, MD
"I believe that the key to successful treatment is a solid educational background. To achieve this, I earned my medical degree at the Stanford University School of Medicine, which is consistently ranked as one of the top institutions in the country. I’m grateful for the knowledge I’ve received and the skills I’ve developed, because they are the foundation for my personalized, effective dermatologic care. I also pride myself on providing patients with the friendliness and compassion they deserve. I take the time to listen to their concerns and answer their questions in simple, easy-to-understand language. In addition, I thoroughly educate them on any proposed treatment so they feel completely comfortable.
“My goal is to provide my patients with the newest, safest and most effective treatment methods available. That’s why I maintain membership in some of the most respected organizations in my field, such as the American Academy of Dermatology and American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. This allows me to meet with my peers to discuss the latest developments in medical and cosmetic skin care.”
