Dr. Jinmeng Zhang
Dr. Zhang earned her medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit. She remained in Detroit for her internship at St. John Hospital & Medical Center. Dr. Zhang attended Washington University in St. Louis for dermatology residency where she was named Chief Resident.
Dr. Zhang has several family members who are physicians, which was a big influence on her decision to practice medicine. During her undergrad at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Dr. Zhang minored in art studio, so the field of dermatology was a natural draw for her.
“I wanted to have a career that would allow me to draw on my creative side and I found that dermatology would do just that”, says Dr. Zhang. “This specialty involves a balance of visual diagnostic expertise and dexterity on the one hand and a solid knowledge of pathology on the other. It’s deeply gratifying to be able to help my patients while doing what I love”.
Dr. Zhang believes that medicine is a two-way street that requires partnership between provider and patient. She finds it very rewarding to get to know her patients, come to understand their individual needs, and work with them to decide on the best treatment plan.
Dr. Zhang has presented several interesting and rare cases at dermatology conferences and her research has been published in journals in the United States and United Kingdom. To stay up to date with new medical developments, she reads current literature, attends dermatology meetings, and has ongoing academic dialogues with her colleagues.
In addition, her professional organizations—the American Academy of Dermatology and the Christian Medical Association, keep her abreast of the latest goings-on in the field.
Dr. Zhang was born in China and is fluent in Mandarin. Her family moved to the U.S. when she was 10 years old where they mostly lived in the Midwest. Prior to relocating to Phoenix, Dr. Zhang practiced in Hawaii for five years. Outside of work, Dr. Zhang enjoys traveling, meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and trying new foods. She is excited to be closer to family in Arizona and looks forward to the many hiking opportunities the area has to offer.
Dr. Zhang specializes in a comprehensive array of general dermatology services, ensuring top-notch skin care for patients of all ages.
