Cary Valdes

Office Manager

My name is Cary. I’ve been working in dermatology for over 16 years. I started as a front desk and quickly transitioned to a medical assistant, where I grew fond of the surgical and cosmetic part of this beautiful specialty. I have 2 wonderful kids and a husband which takes up all of my free time. I enjoy spending time with my family, working out, traveling, and trying out new restaurants.

Juliette Castenada

Hello everyone! I’m Juliette, but you can call me Juli. My journey as an MA started in 2021, where I discovered my love for dermatology and decided I wanted to one day become a Physician Assistant. Despite exploring other specialties, my heart always remained in dermatology, where I thrive in helping patients feel more confident and secure in their own skin while also helping make sunblock cool again! In my free time I love to go to the movies, eat yummy food and spending time with my loved ones. Can’t wait to meet you all!

Yvette Caravantes

My name is Yvette and I am from Northern Virginia. I have been working in the medical field for 10 years and in dermatology for 5 years. What I enjoy most about dermatology is the variety of diagnoses we treat and that I get to learn something new every day. I have become very passionate about skin care and love helping patients implement preventative skin care to ensure that their skin stays youthful and healthy. In my free time, I enjoy studying the Bible and playing the violin.
