Dermatologist in Newport Beach, CA — board-certified medical, surgical, pediatric and cosmetic dermatology at Fashion Island, accepting new patients.
ZENA Medical is a board-certified dermatology practice at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, treating patients from across Orange County. Medical dermatology, skin cancer screening and surgery, pediatric care and the aesthetic treatments that keep skin healthy over time — all under one roof, from the same team.
We’re accepting new patients, usually within two weeks. Call 949-200-8222 or request an appointment.
You see a dermatologist. Your diagnosis and treatment plan come from a board-certified dermatologist, not from delegated care. It matters more than most people expect — particularly for pigmented lesions, for acne that hasn’t responded to treatment, and for anything that risks scarring.
Medical and cosmetic in one practice. You don’t need one clinic for a mole check and a different one for your skin quality. The same team handles both, which means your aesthetic plan accounts for your medical history instead of ignoring it.
A practice known for difficult acne. Dr. Gabriel has specialized in low-dose isotretinoin (Accutane) protocols for over fifteen years and has treated thousands of patients with them. People travel to us for acne that has not responded to anything else.
Fashion Island, with parking. Central to Newport Beach, Corona del Mar, Irvine and Costa Mesa, and straightforward to reach from anywhere in Orange County.
If something on your skin is bothering you and you don’t know what it is, this is the appointment to book. See the conditions we treat →
Full-body skin examinations, dermoscopy, biopsies, excisions and Mohs surgery. If you have a spot that has changed, bled, itched, or simply doesn’t look like your others, come in. A screening takes about fifteen minutes and it is the single most useful appointment in dermatology. You don’t need a referral and you don’t need to be sure it’s something.
We see children for eczema, birthmarks and vascular lesions, warts and molluscum, pediatric acne, and rashes that haven’t settled. Parents across Orange County are referred to us for conditions that need a dermatologist rather than a pediatrician, and we see children of all ages. Pediatric dermatology →
Every aesthetic treatment here is planned by a dermatologist, which matters most when you’re treating scarring or working with skin that pigments easily.
Dr. Zenovia Gabriel, MD, FAAD founded ZENA Medical at Fashion Island and practices the full range of medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology. She has specialized in low-dose isotretinoin protocols for over fifteen years, and her work in acne treatment is referenced nationally. Many of her patients simply call her Dr. Zena.
Dr. Zena is joined by a highly skilled, physician-supervised team of board-certified physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, laser nurses and licensed aestheticians, all trained in-house on our protocols and devices. Every provider follows the same approach: an educated, research-backed assessment of your skin first, honest advice about what will and won’t work, and no recommendation for a procedure that produces little result. Our doctors and staff stay current with the latest research and academic protocols so that the treatment you receive is the one most likely to give you the best outcome.
We also believe everyone is human and fragile. From the minute you step into our office at Fashion Island — a boutique, personalized setting with private lounges and a private entrance available on request — you are looked after until your care is complete to your satisfaction. Meet the full team →
A first visit usually runs twenty to thirty minutes. Bring a list of everything you currently use on your skin, including prescriptions and anything over the counter, and a note of what you’ve already tried. If you’re coming for a skin check, please come without makeup and with nail polish removed — we need to see the nail beds too.
What happens. We examine the area of concern, explain what we’re seeing in plain language, and give you a plan with costs before you commit to anything. If a simpler or less expensive approach would get you there, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you be seen? New patient appointments are typically available within two weeks — considerably sooner than the wait at most dermatology practices. If you have a lesion you’re concerned about, say so when you call and we’ll move you up.
For medical dermatology, select providers on our team are in-network with Anthem Blue Cross PPO, Blue Shield PPO, United Healthcare PPO and Medicare. Dr. Gabriel sees patients on a self-pay basis and provides a superbill you can submit to your PPO plan for out-of-network reimbursement. Plans vary, so call us with your specific plan and we’ll confirm your coverage before you book.
Cosmetic treatments are not covered by insurance and are paid at the time of service. We accept all major cards. If you’re not sure whether what you need is medical or cosmetic, call us — we’ll tell you before you book rather than after.
