Dr. Aguirre is a Board-Certified Dermatologist and Dermatologic surgeon, as well as an Orange County local, born and raised in San Clemente. After graduating with High Honors from The University of California, Davis with a Bachelor’s degree in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior, she returned to Orange County, where she performed extensive research on the spread of MRSA and other skin infections. She then headed out to Columbus, Ohio where she graduated Magna Cume Laude while obtaining her MD at The Ohio State University. It was there, while helping run a local free clinic, that she discovered her love for dermatology.

She and her family love to spend time cooking together, playing in the vegetable garden, and exploring all the different parks and playgrounds in the area.
