Dr. Shaw received her bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from Oakland University in Rochester, MI and attended medical school at Oregon Health & Science University, where she completed her dermatology internship and residency and was also Chief Resident her senior year. She is board certified in dermatology. Dr. Shaw spent four years as an Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Oregon Health & Science University and was most recently practicing Dermatology at Providence Medical Group in Portland before joining The Oregon Clinic Portland Dermatology.
Dermatology appealed to Dr. Shaw because it is a very visual field, and that she can look at someone’s skin and know how to help them. She enjoy meeting people, hearing their life stories, and being trusted with their skin concerns. She feels that no concern is too small and helping patients resolve their issues is a great reward.
Dr. Shaw is trained to check skin for possible skin cancer, as well as remove skin cancer with minor procedures, diagnose and treat inflammatory skin disease in adults and children, perform skin biopsies, excisions, removal of benign growths, patch testing, Botox injections for axillary hyperhidrosis and cosmetic Botox.
Dr. Shaw has lived in the Portland area for almost 20 years and loves the mix of small and big city feel, great food, and proximity to a variety of outdoors activities. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, skiing, hiking, and traveling.
