About

Cunningham Bari B MD leads Comprehensive Dermatology Group in Encinitas as one of only several hundred physicians nationally who hold double board certification in both Dermatology and Pediatric Dermatology. Birthmark evaluation and developmental skin screening for pediatric patients coordinate growth-stage assessments with community pediatricians including Natalie D Muth, MD, MPH for comprehensive child health integration. An Emory University School of Medicine graduate who earned cum laude distinction, the practice completed its dermatology residency at Northwestern University's McGaw Medical Center as Chief Resident and was the inaugural recipient of the Johnson & Johnson Fellowship in Pediatric Dermatology at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago. Co-founded in 2008 after a decade directing Pediatric Dermatologic Surgery and Laser Therapy at Rady Children's Hospital and UCSD, the practice brings over 60 peer-reviewed publications and international lecturing experience to Garden View Court. Post-laser scar remodeling and wound-management protocols for pediatric patients recovering from pulsed-dye laser treatment coordinate tissue rehabilitation with PRN Physical Therapy for compression and silicone-sheeting guidance. The practice's highest-complexity cases include staged pulsed-dye and Nd:YAG laser treatment sequences for hypertrophic port-wine stains, requiring wavelength calibration across 585nm and 1064nm platforms to target both superficial and deep vascular components.
