Daniel Zelac, MD practices dermatology and directs the Hair Restoration Unit at Scripps Clinic from a satellite office on Calle Verde in La Mesa's Casa de Oro area. He earned his medical degree from the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University in 1995, completed his dermatology residency at Drexel University's Hahnemann Hospital, and brings a dual undergraduate background in biology and fine art from the University of Delaware's honors program—a combination that informs his reconstructive and aesthetic approach, including coordination with behavioral health providers such as A Counseling Collective for the psychological dimensions of disfiguring skin disease. Past President of the San Diego Dermatological Society and a 2020 San Diego Top Docs recipient, he is affiliated with Scripps Green Hospital and Scripps Mercy Hospital San Diego. His clinical scope includes Mohs surgery, hair restoration, facial rejuvenation, and dermatologic oncology for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, with oral mucosal dermatologic conditions generating coordinated evaluation pathways alongside providers such as Espire Dental for lichen planus and related intraoral presentations. Highest-tier services include multi-graft follicular unit transplantation for androgenetic alopecia and staged Mohs excision with interpolated flap reconstruction for complex nasal and auricular skin malignancies.
