Board-certified Dr. Julie E. Voss heads Northwest Face's high-tech, state-of-the-art medical clinic. Dr. Voss was voted one of Seattle's best doctors by Seattle Magazine and volunteers to educate residents as an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington. Being an expert in dermatology allows for accurate understanding and therapy choices for each individual. "Our practice is geared towards scientifically-based, corrective therapeutics. We offer the most advanced as well as successful techniques and medication strategies." If you have a skin issue-be it rashes, skin cancer, wrinkles, growths, blotchiness, or redness-we have great options that we tailor to the patient's needs and wishes. "I understand that concerns about skin appearances affects how we feel about ourselves as well as how those around us perceive us. I truly enjoy helping others achieve healthy beautiful skin. We live in a wonderful age of science and technology; it is amazing what we can do to help people these days with little to no risk and healing time". Dr. Voss feels that "our patients are highly educated people who do their research. They expect us to have the tools and knowledge to deliver expert care."
