Dorothy J Buckner Dermatology

Dorothy J. Buckner, MD – Dermatology & Cosmetic Skin Care | Los Gatos, CA

You look in the mirror and something has shifted. Maybe it's the lines that weren't there last year. The sunspots from decades of California living. The skin that used to bounce back — and now doesn't. You've been meaning to do something about it. You just haven't found the right doctor yet.

That's exactly why we're here.

Dr. Dorothy J. Buckner is a board-certified dermatologist who has spent decades helping men and women in the South Bay look as vital and confident as they feel on the inside. Now serving Los Gatos, our boutique practice offers the kind of unhurried, personal attention that's nearly impossible to find anymore.

We specialize in what matters most to you:

✨ Cosmetic Rejuvenation — Botox, fillers, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and customized anti-aging treatments that deliver real, visible results.

🔬 Medical Dermatology — Acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, hair loss, and full skin cancer screenings.

✂️ Surgical Dermatology — Mole removal, lesion excision, and skin cancer treatment with precision and care.

This is not a med spa. This is not a factory.

Dr. Buckner personally sees every patient. No rushed 7-minute appointments. No rotating staff. Just honest, expert guidance from a physician who genuinely cares about your outcome.

We accept most PPO plans and offer straightforward self-pay pricing for cosmetic services.

If you've been putting this off — don't. The right time to take care of your skin is now, and the right doctor is here.

Aluminary Arts Studio

Aluminary Arts is a boutique art studio in downtown Los Gatos offering thoughtfully curated, small-group workshops for adults and teens. Founded by artist and longtime graphic designer Lisa Tollner, the studio was created to provide a welcoming, inspiring space where creativity feels approachable, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable—regardless of experience level.

Blending fine art practice with a background in design and creative direction, Aluminary Arts offers a fresh take on traditional art classes. Each session is intentionally designed to be both elevated and accessible, combining professional-quality materials, guided instruction, and the freedom to explore personal expression. From acrylic painting and mixed media to watercolor and seasonal themed workshops, participants are encouraged to experiment, build confidence, and create original work they feel proud of.

Classes are kept intentionally small to allow for individualized guidance and a relaxed, social atmosphere. Whether attending a wine-inspired evening workshop, a weekend immersive session, or a teen-focused class designed to foster creativity and confidence, guests experience a balance of structure and creative freedom.

More than just a studio, Aluminary Arts is rooted in community. The space brings people together to slow down, connect, and rediscover the value of working with their hands in an increasingly digital world. A portion of workshop proceeds is also donated to local charities, reinforcing a commitment to giving back and supporting the surrounding community.
