Patricia Wong, MD, FAAD

About the practice

Patricia Wong, MD, FAAD runs a dermatology practice at 735 Cowper Street in downtown Palo Alto. The practice describes its work as integrative dermatology and calls itself a provider of medical and aesthetic dermatology. On its website Dr. Wong explains her approach as holistic. She looks at how diet, the environment, medical therapy and light affect the skin. She treats medical and cosmetic concerns as connected rather than separate. In her words on the home page, healthy skin is both a medical and an aesthetic goal.

Her about page also mentions nutrition, the microbiome, stress, sleep, supplements and botanicals as factors in skin health. That framing sets the practice apart from offices that focus only on procedures. This page describes what the practice publishes. It does not give medical advice or judge the quality of care.

Training and credentials

The practice states that Dr. Wong is double board certified, in internal medicine and in dermatology. Her published training runs as follows:

• Premedical studies at the University of Washington
• Medical school at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine
• Internal medicine internship and residency at the University of Washington Medical Center
• Dermatology residency at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center and Stanford University School of Medicine

That internal medicine background fits the practice's stated focus on the links between skin and overall health. The FAAD after her name is part of how the practice presents her credentials.

Who it suits

Because the practice covers both medical and aesthetic dermatology under one roof, it suits patients who want a skin check and a cosmetic consultation from the same doctor. It also suits people looking for a dermatologist who discusses lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep and sun exposure alongside prescriptions and procedures. The home page states a goal of letting patients enjoy the sun without sacrificing their skin. Patients who need a large multispecialty clinic with weekend hours may prefer a bigger group. This is a weekday-only office.

Booking and insurance

The practice lists its phone number, 650-473-3173, as the way to reach the office. Its pages do not publish insurance details, so ask by phone whether your plan is accepted and whether a referral is needed. For aesthetic treatments, ask about costs before your visit.

Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the office closed for lunch from 12 to 1:30 p.m. The practice is closed on weekends. Calls made over lunch may go unanswered, so try mid-morning or mid-afternoon.

Location and visiting tips

Cowper Street runs parallel to University Avenue a few blocks east of the Caltrain station, so the office is within walking distance of the train and downtown restaurants. Downtown street parking is time limited. A city garage is often easier if you expect a longer appointment. Our parking guide explains the options and the downtown guide covers the surrounding blocks.

For facials in a non-medical setting, our directory lists the skincare studio Monika Stone Skin on El Camino Real. Our healthcare guide lists hospitals, urgent care and clinics across Palo Alto. For a medical emergency, call 911 rather than a specialist office.
