  • About Lucy Chao, MD

    I treat various dermatologic conditions, including skin cancer surveillance, acne, eczema, psoriasis, complex medical dermatology, and hair loss. I also perform various surgical procedures and enjoy using cutting-edge medical advances to help patients feel their best. In my spare time, I enjoy painting, pottery, traveling, and exploring the restaurant scene in Seattle. My husband, our dog, and I also go on many adventures together.

    Philosophy of care

    I believe the physician-patient relationship is a partnership, and each one should be individualized and unique. By working together, I hope to make my patients feel empowered to take charge of their own health.
