Our Surgeons
Our providers believe it is important to take time to educate patients and make them feel they are a part of their treatment process. They understand that undergoing surgical procedures can be difficult for a patient and aim to ease each patient’s anxieties. Their goal is not only to effectively treat skin cancers, but also to repair the surgical wounds with the optimal cosmetic outcome.

Julia Obadiah, M.D.
Dr. Obadiah’s dedication and passion for medicine began at a young age, leading her to an accelerated medical program directly out of high school, where she graduated at the top of her class. She completed her dermatology residency at Washington University, one of the top programs in the country, followed by a fellowship in Mohs surgery, laser, and cosmetic dermatology. She served as Head Physician of the Mohs Department at Kaiser Permanente, where she established a skin cancer committee to advocate for the highest-quality care for patients. A valued mentor and educator, Dr. Obadiah has guided medical students and plastic surgery residents and now serves as Clinical Faculty at Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences, contributing to the training of future physicians. She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dermatology, the American Board of Mohs Surgery, and the Oregon Dermatology Society, has published in peer-reviewed journals and textbooks, and has lectured at the American Academy of Dermatology. Her commitment to patient-focused care is reflected in nearly 400 reviews with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars. Outside of medicine, she enjoys volunteering and spending time outdoors with her husband and three children.
