Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body. Dermatology is a specialty with both medical and surgical aspects. A dermatologist is a specialist doctor who manages skin diseases and deals with both internal and external causes and some cosmetic concerns involving the skin. Dermatological duties include taking consultations, providing screening tests, and undertaking non-invasive surgical procedures.

When Dr. Kilcline is not at work, she can be found cheering on her kids soccer teams, enjoying her husband’s cooking, practicing yoga, learning to paddle board, cheering for the San Francisco Giants…and still searching for seashells. She is elated to call the Central Coast her home.
