About Melvin Lee, MD
I was born in Southern California and grew up in Long Beach. I first came to the San Francisco Bay Area where I went to UC Berkeley, majoring in Molecular and Cell Biology. After completing my undergraduate degree in three years with high honors, I moved to the Midwest for medical school. At the Chicago Medical School at the Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science, I graduated at the top of my class in 2005 and was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society. Another move took me to Honolulu for a year, where I completed my internship in internal medicine at the University of Hawaii, earning an outstanding intern award in the process. I then went to State University of New York Buffalo for my residency in dermatology. During my last year of residency, I was honored to be selected as chief resident for the residency program. Upon finishing the residency, I returned to the San Francisco Bay Area where I joined Kaiser Permanente in 2009. At my clinic in Santa Clara, I specialize in general dermatology, dermatologic surgery, and pediatric dermatology. I also work at the Kaiser Permanente cosmetic clinic in San Jose, where I do cosmetic dermatology.
