About Sara Thierman, MD
i am a board certified dermatologist and a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. In 2011, I joined the Permanente Medical Group. I was born and raised in the East Bay and am very happy to return home. After spending my first 18 years here, I went to college at Yale University, where I received a bachelor’s degree in Biology. I returned to San Francisco to attend medical school at UCSF, and then headed back to the North East for my residency training at the State University of New York, Downstate. In between these cross country moves, I have lived in Nicaragua and Zambia, where I worked in local health clinics and became fascinated with health delivery and access to health care.
