Carla Torres-Zegarra, MD
Pediatric Dermatology
Board Certified
Care Philosophy
I strive to provide culturally responsive, high-quality care that welcomes every patient and supports meaningful improvements in health and quality of life.
Clinical Interest for Patients
My clinical interests center on integral, multidisciplinary care for children, adolescents, and young adults with complex and chronic disease. I specialize in the care of patients with chronic inflammatory and hormonally mediated conditions, including polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and hidradenitis suppurativa, with particular attention to metabolic and psychosocial comorbidities. My practice integrates medical, procedural, and laser dermatology, with focused expertise in procedural dermatology, vascular anomalies. As a pediatrician, dermatologist and pediatric dermatologist, I approach care across the lifespan with an emphasis on continuity, coordination, and patient-centered communication. I am committed to culturally responsive care and to serving diverse patient populations. I am trilingual (English, Spanish, and French) and welcome patients in the language of their choice, striving to create an inclusive and supportive clinical environment, particularly in challenging or sensitive clinical settings.
