About

Dermatology & Laser Center of San Diego operates a multi-physician dermatology and cosmetic surgery practice in Grantville at 6386 Alvarado Ct Suite 205, San Diego, in the 92120 ZIP. The practice is led by Mark Willoughby, MD, a San Diego native who earned his medical degree from Ohio State University School of Medicine, trained in dermatology at Cook County Hospital in Chicago as chief resident, and completed a UCLA-affiliated cosmetic and skin cancer surgery fellowship accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. The physician team also includes Erick Mafong, MD, Cole Willoughby, MD, and Amy Han, MD — who earned her MD from UCSF and trained at Case Western Reserve — along with physician assistant Amy Ellsworth, PA-C, giving the practice five concurrent providers across medical, surgical, and aesthetic dermatology alongside Spectrum Eye Clinic + MedSpa in Allied Gardens on the periorbital aesthetics side. The service menu spans medical dermatology including acne management, psoriasis treatment, and eczema protocols through to surgical and cosmetic procedures: Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer, electronic brachytherapy for superficial malignancies, Botox and dermal filler injection, IPL photofacials, laser tattoo removal, and cryotherapy for precancerous lesions. The Alvarado Court location shares the medical corridor with oral surgery and internal medicine offices, and The Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Specialists of San Diego operates from the same building. The practice is part of Sharp Community Medical Group, which routes post-Mohs reconstructive referrals and complex dermatologic surgical cases through Sharp's hospital network. Additional offices in Hillcrest at 4060 Fourth Avenue and in Chula Vista at 344 F Street extend coverage across central and south San Diego County. Willoughby holds board certification from the American Board of Dermatology and fellowship status in the American Academy of Dermatology.
