She has a special interest in skin cancer prevention and detection, acne, rosacea, eczema, skin of color, and nail disorders.

Dr. Jeter's path to dermatology is distinguished by over a decade of prior clinical practice. After graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara, she completed her Physician Assistant training at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
