Dr. Susan Boiko, MD practices pediatric dermatology in Allied Gardens, San Diego at Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center, 4647 Zion Avenue in the 92120 ZIP. Dr. Boiko holds board certifications from the American Board of Dermatology, the American Board of Pediatrics, and a subspecialty certification in pediatric dermatology — a triple-board credential that fewer than a small fraction of dermatologists in the United States carry. She earned her MD at the University of Michigan Medical School in 1978, completed a pediatric residency at Kaiser Foundation Hospital in San Francisco, and finished her dermatology residency at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Pediatric patients at the Zion Avenue office whose primary care originates through Kaiser Permanente Vandever Medical Offices on the same Allied Gardens campus receive coordinated referrals for conditions ranging from infant eczema to adolescent acne and congenital skin disorders. Dr. Boiko served as a Major in the United States Air Force, where she received the Chief Physician's Badge and the Air Force Achievement Medal. Her academic role as a clinical associate professor of dermatology and pediatrics at UC San Diego places her within the teaching faculty at Rady Children's Hospital San Diego, where she treats complex pediatric skin cases. Published research includes contributions to pediatric sun safety and skin cancer prevention, and she co-chaired the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention alongside work with the American Cancer Society and the Centers for Disease Control. Dr. Boiko speaks English and Spanish, expanding access for families in the bilingual Allied Gardens corridor along Zion Avenue. The pediatric dermatology subspecialty addresses conditions that general dermatologists encounter less frequently — hemangiomas, port-wine stains, hereditary skin disorders, and severe pediatric atopic dermatitis — and the co-management structure with pediatric dentistry at BRSH+FLSS Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics in San Carlos supports whole-child monitoring where oral and dermatologic symptoms overlap. Wheelchair-accessible entrances, parking, and restrooms serve families arriving with mobility-limited children at the Zion Avenue campus.
