Dr. Julie Kenner, MD PhD

Board-Certified Dermatologist and Chief Executive Officer

With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Kenner blends medical, surgical, cosmetic, and regenerative dermatology with a holistic and integrative approach. She has a unique focus on treating conditions that impact emotional well-being — including aging, acne, hair loss, rosacea, and pigmentation — and takes a whole-person approach that supports skin health, energy, sleep, and mental clarity.

Dr. Kenner relocated to Monterey in 2015 from her flourishing practice in Hawaii. Trained as a research scientist with a background in pathology, she enjoys problem-solving and brings a thoughtful perspective to dermatology, emphasizing prevention and compassionate care.

She founded SkinHappyMD and its partner wellness center, Viva Carmel, to bring personalized, science-based care to people ready to look and feel their best — inside and out.
