About Tina Pai, MD
As a native Hawaiian, Dr. Tina Pai pursued her dream of having a private practice in Honolulu for 3 years before her husband's own medical training took the couple to Tucson. As 1 of 3 dermatologists at Skin Spectrum, Dr. Pai calls it ""the best job I could ask for."" Patients and their families have been coming to see Dr. Pai at the Tucson dermatology clinic for more than 15 years. ""I feel honored and humbled that my patients trust me with their health, their appearance, and their personal health information. I work very hard to deserve that trust."" Dr. Pai traveled across the Pacific Ocean to get her college education and complete her advanced medical training. She graduated summa cum laude from Whittier College in California with a degree in chemistry, then earned her medical degree from the renowned Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She did an internal medicine internship at the Mayo Medical Center before completing a 3-year dermatology residency at the University Hospitals of Cleveland in Ohio. Here, Dr. Pai looks back at her experiences and what led her to Skin Spectrum.
