Kay Waud, MD, PhD, FACOG

“As a physician, I’m particular about whom I trust with my face. Dr. Sarv Zand brings exactly the combination I look for: medical expertise, an artistic eye, and a less-is-more approach. Her cosmetic work is beautifully subtle. I look refreshed and rested, while still looking like myself. The best part is I never feel anxious about how I’ll look afterward. That confidence in her judgment and skill is invaluable.”

Laura Derry, MD

"Dr. Zand is a brilliant dermatologist whom I deeply trust with both my medical and cosmetic dermatology care, a rare combination. After moving to the Bay Area more than half a decade ago, I searched for a dermatologist who prioritized evidence-based rigor and specialized in high-risk skin cancer and melanoma care. She manages my complex history of childhood sun damage with expert precision and a level of compassion that gives me tremendous peace of mind. As a fellow physician, I value her disciplined, thoughtful approach to high-risk skin cancer, paired with a genuine warmth that makes every visit feel both reassuring and deeply personal.”
