This week we celebrate a very important, caring, and dare we say – quite fashionable member of our team, Dr. Holly Christman.

With a career spanning over 40 years, Dr. Christman has been with SMD for the last 7 years as our Mohs surgeon. Her medical and surgical expertise has been invaluable to our practice, and while this moment is bittersweet, we are so proud to be a part of this milestone.

On Tuesday, staff gathered around for a lunch dedicated to Dr. Christman where she graciously shared life and career advice. She noted that the thing she will miss most is, of course, her patients.

Thank you, Dr. Christman, and cheers to your future. We expect you’ll cherish as much time as possible in Italy. We hope you receive graciousness and hospitality – like you have shared with the SMD team and our patients consistently.

A Message From Dr. Smith

“It’s not often to find a fellow physician with whom you admire and connect with as easily as me and Holly. We met 16 years ago and quickly started talking about dermatology, relationships, and life dreams.

What a compliment it was for Holly to ask to move her practice to SMD after 20 successful years in San Francisco. We’ve always aligned on how we want to deliver care to our patients and how we want to enjoy our staff and work environment to the utmost, every single day.

We will miss you dearly. Congratulations on a tremendous career!”

– Dr. Ashley Smith
