Aside from treating general dermatology issues, Dr. Jerdan believes in a synergistic approach to the practice of cosmetic dermatologic surgery by complementing a maintenance program with the latest advances in dermatologic surgery and technology.

Her patients appreciate her transparency, often joking that she is the “worst salesman” as she will not oversell and compromise a natural look.
