Kristy F. Fleming, MD, FAAD

BOARD-CERTIFIED DERMATOLOGIST AND MOHS SURGEON

Dr. Kristy Fleming is a native of Southern California. She grew up in Huntington Beach, the daughter of a surfboard airbrush artist and the youngest of three girls. As soon as she was old enough, she joined her father in the surfboard factory where she learned about the subtle nuances of color and shading to enhance contours and create the optical illusion of depth.

As much as she loved art, Dr. Fleming found her true passion in science. She graduated summa cum laude from the University of San Francisco where she studied art, in particular the female form, but majored in molecular biology, with a minor in biochemistry. From there, Dr. Fleming attended the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, where she was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha, a medical honor society reserved for the top 5% of the class. She was immediately drawn to the field of dermatology, an organic fit for her artistic nature and background in molecular biology. After completing her residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, a top ten institution for dermatology, she joined UCLA Dermatology as a clinical professor, treating patients and helping teach dermatology residents and medical students.

Dr. Fleming has been working in private practice in Newport Beach for the past five years. She has a successful practice in Fashion Island at the Skin Cancer and Reconstructive Surgery Center, where she practices medical and cosmetic dermatology, and performs Mohs surgery for the treatment of skin cancer.

Dr. Fleming is now very excited to announce she has opened a brand new office in Laguna Hills: Coastal Hills Dermatology and Plastic Surgery.

“It’s our second location, but our primary focus.” Dr. Fleming says, “Our mission is to provide exceptional care, help our patients achieve and maintain healthy skin for a lifetime, and give our patients the ability to age gracefully and confidently.”
