US dermatologist coming for talk

MANILA, Philippines - Noted dermatologist Dr. Tess Mauricio (photo) from San Diego, California will be in the country for speaking engagements and seminars in November.

Dr. Tess will also introduce in the Philippines the Timeless MD Illuminating System, which she designed especially for Pinoys’ sensitive skin.

After completing her dermatology residency in University of California-San Diego in 2003, Tess joined a dermatology practice but got disillusioned. She said, “I wanted to practice medicine my own way. I wanted to spend time with patients and approach dermatology holistically.”

Dr. Tess is the favorite dermatologist of celebrities like Gabby Concepcion, Hilda Koronel, Bernardo Bernardo and Patricia Javier.
