About

San Diego Cosmetic Laser DermatologyDrawn to science at an early age, Dr. Boen chose dermatology because it blended her love for the breadth of the specialty along with her desire to help people. Understanding that treating someone’s skin disease can make a real impact on their quality of life is the foundation of Dr. Boen’s relationship with each of her patients.

Dr. Boen grew up in Chicago,  Illinois, and attended Northwestern  University, where she graduated with a double degree in Biology and International  Studies.  She completed her medical degree at Northwestern  University’s  Feinberg School of Medicine.  During medical school,  Dr. Boen pursued her interest in global health and did medical rotations in South Africa and France.  For dermatology training,  Dr. Boen attended the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she served as chief resident.  Further cosmetic surgery training included completion of a fellowship through the  American Society for Dermatologic  Surgery.

Volunteer:

  • ASDS  Free  Skin  Cancer  Screenings
  • AAD  Skin  Cancer  Awareness
  • Dermatology  mentorship  for  medical  students
  • University  of  Illinois  College  of  Medicine  Mentor’s  Program

In her free time, Dr. Boen loves to spend time with her family, her 2 year old daughter and husband, which includes playing in the park, biking, and walking along the beach. She also enjoys traveling, as much as can be allowed with a toddler, but loves calling San Diego home because of its beautiful beaches, landscapes, and distinctive energy. Dr. Boen speaks fluent Polish and is conversational in Spanish and French.
