About

A clinician at the intersection of science, strategy, and skin.

Dr. Sarah Sheu is a board-certified dermatologist and the Medical Director of Dermatology at Valley Medical Center in the Greater Seattle Area. She trained at Stanford University, where she served as Chief Resident, after earning her MD from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

Her practice is rooted in evidence-based care and a deep respect for the patient's experience — calm, clear, and never alarmist. Beyond the clinic, she educates a growing audience on YouTube, translating dermatology research into practical guidance for everyday skin.

As a Korean-speaking physician with a research background, Dr. Sheu also advises skincare and cosmetic companies — particularly Korean brands entering the U.S. market — on product formulation, positioning, and clinical communication.
