The clinic
A clinic devoted to skin health
Dermatology for the skin, hair and nails of children and adults, in Colonia Escalón, San Salvador.
Our story
Dr. Leana Quintanilla Dermatology began with a simple idea: to help restore the health of the skin, and also to care for it so that every patient looks and feels better.
It was founded by Dr. Leana Quintanilla de Sánchez, a dermatologist trained in the Dominican Republic and the United States. For more than 25 years she has seen patients of all ages in Colonia Escalón, and over the years she has added hair loss care, hair transplants and aesthetic dermatology treatments.

How we work
You see the dermatologist
Every consultation is carried out personally by Dr. Leana Quintanilla.
Diagnosis first
Before recommending a treatment we look for the cause of the problem. If needed, we order tests or a skin biopsy.
Clear explanations
We explain what you have, what options exist, what you can expect from each one and what their limits are. We see patients in Spanish and in English.
Follow-up
Many skin conditions are chronic. We stay with you through follow-up visits to adjust the treatment.
