Julie

I am delighted to have been with the Valley Dermatology team for over 21 years. I first joined the practice when it was launched in 1994. While I enjoy assisting in all areas, my main expertise is the billing department. I am also the office manager. I have been married for 25 years and have 3 teenage daughters. They are all very active in sports and school. I spend my outside time with the girls and my husband.

Perla

I have been working side by side with Dr. Nelson and Dr. Nam for more than ten years. I love coming to work and making our patients feel comfortable. It is such a rewarding feeling to put our patients at ease and take care of their needs. I most enjoy working in the back office. This includes taking patient history and assisting in procedures. I also assist Dr. Nam with surgical procedures.

I have been married for 12 years and have two beautiful boys. I love to garden, grow my own vegetables, and raise hens. My remaining time is often spent at the baseball fields.

Priscilla

I started my career in the medical field over ten years ago with Dr. Nam and Dr. Nelson and have found this to be a happy fit for me. I work in the front office where I get to greet all our patients and help them with their scheduling needs. I also take patient histories and may assist in minor procedures. I am devoted to making your visit a pleasant one. I have two boys and a dog named Sam. I spend my free time with friends and family and enjoy the outdoors.
