Kimberly Cockerham, M.D, F.A.C.S. I look forward to meeting you. My team and I are committed to providing you with the least invasive medical therapeutics, laser and surgical approaches to address your concerns. Helping restore your natural appearance and optimize your function and comfort is our goal.

Communication is very important to the success of our relationship. Please text, call or email me directly if you have a medical concern.

If you have had prior eyelid, eye muscle or orbital surgery. Please bring information from your treating surgeon.

My Background

I was raised in San Mateo, California and earned an undergraduate degree in Biology at UC San Diego, Revelle College. On acceptance to George Washington Medical School in Washington DC, I was awarded a health professional scholarship from the US ARMY.

My time in the military taught me to honor and respect my patients and their families and to understand the larger role physicians can play in a community. I remain very committed (through my foundation Let’s Face It Together) to helping the underinsured and their families rebuild their lives – face first: LFITfoundation.org.
