Bio

Dr. Wynnis Tom is a dermatologist at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and a professor in the Departments of Dermatology and Pediatrics at UC San Diego.

Dr. Tom graduated from Stanford University, then earned her medical degree from UC San Diego School of Medicine. After completing her residency at Saint Louis University, she returned to San Diego to pursue a fellowship in pediatric dermatology and has since been an active faculty member in the Dermatology Division at Rady Children's.

Dr. Tom cares for patients in the Severe Inflammatory Dermatoses/Systemic Therapy Clinic. Her special clinical interests include chronic inflammatory skin disorders, particularly atopic dermatitis (eczema) and psoriasis, and managing patients with diseases that require oral or systemic medicines. Her research focuses on the genetic factors contributing to these difficult-to-treat diseases, patient response to treatment, and complications such as secondary infections and cardiac health risks.

Dr. Tom enjoys searching for new cuisine or restaurants around San Diego, traveling, spending time with family, and is addicted to tapioca tea.
