Julie Kenner, MD

Advisory Board

Dr. Kenner is founder and CEO of dermatology practice SkinHappyMD in Monterey, CA and of SkinHappy LLC. She has expansive life experience internationally and academically, with many diverse scientific and medical accomplishments. She holds both PhD and MD degrees, has published extensively on a variety of medical topics and created patents and trademarks, and has decades of experience in the areas of clinical medicine, patient education and product formulation.
Dr. Kenner was in the Army for 9 years and through the military, was among the first in the US to use telemedicine regularly as a tool to service patients remotely. She has formed several successful dermatology clinical practices in the last 20+ years, and has made it a habit of being on the leading edge of technology and improving her trade and service to patients.

Several years ago, Dr. Kenner left the traditional insurance dermatology model, and began creating better “whole person” solutions to manage common skin conditions and help her patients heal “on the outside as well as inside”. The bones of this next generation of the SkinHappy System have been tested in an incubator clinic for the last several years in Monterey, CA, and has been duplicated for a wider audience in a direct-to-consumer online teledermatology platform: the SkinHappy LLC.
