What Our SMD Patients Say

The docs here are A++ and Harvard educated. My family has some serious skin conditions and both myself and my kids have always gotten the best care here. There are cosmetic options too but the medical dermatology solved several previous misdiagnoses with our son and rendered some of the best care I’ve witnessed.
Matt | Mill Valley
Dr. Smith and rest of the team at Southern Marin Dermatology are fantastic! Not only are they extremely knowledgeable but also very personable and caring. My kids are patients too and Dr. Smith always makes them feel comfortable. I appreciate her thoroughness and professionalism. Every visit has been a great experience. I love this office - highly recommend!
Kate | Corte Madera
Best experience with any doctor in any field. Dr. Smith and Dr. Fardin are professional, bright and personable. I feel lucky to be a patient.
Allison
I was very impressed with your expertise and particularly with your exceptional listening skills when I saw you, which I don’t always experience as a patient. I totally trust your judgment!

Services in expanded clinic.

Our clinical estheticians are trained in medical esthetics and are directly supervised by our board-certified dermatologists.  At SMD, we strive to blend the best of two worlds — a relaxing and pampering experience with clinically-driven procedures and expertise found only at a dermatologist’s office. Some of our most popular facial treatments include the  Tween to Teen Facial and the Hydrafacial, a microdermabrasion-like treatment that gently exfoliates and hydrates the skin leaving you with an instant glow.
