History
Established in 2010.
Founded in 2010, DirectDerm began as a telehealth pioneer, making expert dermatology care available anytime, anywhere. Our mission was simple: eliminate long wait times and improve access to high-quality skin care—especially for those in underserved areas.
Today, DirectDerm remains dedicated to expert dermatology made easy. In addition to serving patients nationwide through telehealth, we offer in-person dermatology care at six Central California clinics—in Manteca, Sacramento, Fresno, Salinas, Los Banos, and Merced. Our clinics provide comprehensive skin care, including cutting-edge laser treatments for acne, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, and other skin concerns.
Whether online or in person, we’re committed to making expert skin care simple, effective, and accessible.
Meet the Business Owner: David W.
Dr. David Wong, co-founder and board-certified dermatologist, is passionate about making dermatology care more accessible. With dermatology training at Stanford, he saw the challenges patients faced in getting timely skin care—especially in underserved communities. This led him to launch DirectDerm, first as a nationwide telehealth platform, and now as a multi-location dermatology practice. His goal? To provide expert skin care without long wait times, whether through online consultations or in-person visits. Dr. Wong and the team at Salinas specialize in treating common and complex skin conditions, offering personalized treatment plans, prescription skincare, and advanced laser treatments. Under his leadership, DirectDerm continues to provide expert dermatology care to all.
