Meet Dr. Park

Board-certified Dermatologist doing things a little differently

Joyce Park, MD FAAD

Dr. Joyce Park is a board-certified dermatologist based in Washington, founder of Skin Refinery, a virtual dermatology clinic, and a skincare and beauty content creator at Tea with MD. She attended college and medical school at Stanford University, and completed her dermatology residency at NYU. During medical school, she completed the Stanford-NBC News Global Health Media Fellowship, working in the communications office of the World Health Organization in Switzerland and as part of the medical unit at NBC News. She realized the power of traditional and social media for public health education during this year, and she continued exploring this potential as a fellow interning at the ABC News Medical Unit. 

Dr. Park created Tea With MD and its associated social media channels (Instagram, Tiktok, YouTube, and more), where she acts as a resource to over 700,000 followers, offering science-based skincare from a dermatologist’s perspective. She strives to educate and entertain her audience with a range of topics including scientific research on skincare and dermatology conditions, reviews of beauty trends, and sharing behind the scenes of life as a physician Mom. She is a skincare media expert and has been featured in Forbes, Good Morning America, Allure, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Huffington Post, Time, Marie Claire, the Gloss Angeles Podcast, and more. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest with her husband and toddler son, taking hip-hop dance lessons, and mentoring and doing research with the next generation of students interested in medicine and dermatology.
