At the Advanced Dermatology and Skin Cancer Institute, Healthy Skin is our Passion!

Christina Ring is a board-certified dermatologist who is thrilled to be practicing at ADSCI. Originally from New Jersey, she completed her undergraduate degree at Cornell University and medical degree at Rutgers Medical School. Her dermatology residency was spent at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, where she advanced her medical, surgical, and cosmetic skills. Dr. Ring chose dermatology because she believes the effective and proactive treatment of skin, hair, and nails greatly impacts a person’s self-esteem and general well-being. She brings expertise in both medical and cosmetic dermatology, and approaches her patients as if they were members of her family. She is new to California and enjoys cooking, travel, art and spending time with her husband and new baby.
