Dermatology & Laser of Del Mar occupies Suite 160 at 12865 Pointe Del Mar Way in Del Mar, CA 92014, and has been serving the community since its founding in 2004 by Deborah H. Atkin, MD, a board-certified dermatologist. Dr. Atkin earned her medical degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, where she graduated with honors in surgery and co-founded the first student-run medical clinic for the homeless, a program that continues operating today. She completed an internal medicine internship at Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation in San Diego before finishing her dermatology residency at the University of Arizona, Tucson, and also served as a surgical volunteer in South Africa for the African Medical Mission. Dr. Atkin is a published author in cutaneous surgery textbooks and has written scientific articles on topics including hair loss, blistering diseases, laser treatment of hyperpigmentation, photodynamic therapy, and cutaneous growth factors. She lectures for both the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. In 2021, Dermatology & Laser of Del Mar joined the West Dermatology network, broadening the practice's resources while maintaining its local identity. Assisting Dr. Atkin is Danielle Patton, a board-certified physician assistant who earned her Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies and Master of Public Health from Touro University California, graduating with honors. The practice philosophy, built around the idea that "Beauty is Good Medicine," offers a full range of general and cosmetic dermatology services including skin cancer screenings, Fraxel laser resurfacing, Botox, Juvederm, Restylane, Sculptra, VelaShape body contouring, and ZWave cellulite reduction. Dr. Atkin has been active in philanthropy for over a decade, particularly through the American Liver Foundation and Nick's Picks, a charity she co-founded with her son Nick just before his successful liver transplant in 2012. Sharing the same Pointe Del Mar Way address one suite over is The Natural Path, where Dr. Jennifer Habchi offers chiropractic and European osteopathy in Suite 170. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5 PM, and patients can text "SKIN" to 474747 to receive exclusive offers and updates. Those looking for specialized skin care services elsewhere in Del Mar can also consult Scott & Co. Skin for additional aesthetic dermatology expertise. With over two decades of roots in the Del Mar community, Dr. Atkin's combination of clinical rigor and cosmetic artistry continues to set the standard for dermatological care in coastal North County.
