Briana Suarez, PA-C is a certified physician assistant and Central Valley native. She is passionate about preventative dermatology care and instilling confidence in her patients by making them feel comfortable in their own skin.

She graduated with a degree in Human Biology from UC Merced and then completed her Master of Physician Assistant Studies degree at the University of the Pacific. During a dermatology rotation during PA school with Golden State Dermatology in Turlock, Briana realized she wanted to pursue dermatology. She then trained with Jordan Jepson, PA-C and Christian Jones, MD.

After graduating with her master’s degree, Briana furthered her experience in healthcare at a family practice where she gained knowledge on internal diseases that can present on the skin. While there, she trained simultaneously on Botox and fillers at the neighboring MedSpa.

Briana then moved on to urgent care where she performed a variety of procedures providing care for up to 60 patients with urgent needs per day. Continuing to pursue her interest in dermatology, she attended courses through the Aesthetic Medical Educators Training program.

While not at work, Briana spends her free time staying active outdoors, going on hikes with her husband, and taking her dogs to the beach. She also enjoys yoga, attending sporting events, camping, traveling, and having a nice glass of wine.
