Our Office

Welcome to Dermatology and Allergy Specialists of Olympia

We opened our door on July 1st, 2001. Our practice was founded by Drs. Mark Bauer, Sukanya Kanthawatana and Shauna Richert following the close of Memorial Clinic where they were practicing physicians. We are blessed with the best staff in medical practice some of whom, such as Jennifer Winter, PA-C, joined the founding doctors from Memorial Clinic.

As the demand for our services grows and to ensure high-quality services, we have added more practitioners to our office. Sarra Vashchenko, PA-C joined our practice in 2004. In July 2009, we were fortunate to have Dr. Jake Bauer joined us which added a much needed service, Mohs Micrographic Surgery, to our local community. Dr. Michael Elm, joined our dermatology practice in July 2014 after a successful career in U.S. Army Medical Corps. In 2016, Dr. Linda Brown joined us after 25 years of distinguished service in the US Army Medical Corps. She served for 10 years as chief of the Allergy and Immunology department at the Madigan Army Medical center before retiring at the rank of Colonel. In 2018, Dr. Kaley Myer and Physician Assistant Dre Cigliola joined our Dermatology practice.

Our main office and dermatology clinic are located just west of downtown Olympia at 304 West Bay Dr. NW, Suite 301. Our Mohs surgery office is on the 2nd floor of the same building (Suite 204).

Our allergy clinic is located on the other side of town (East side) two blocks north of St. Peter Hospital at 703 Lilly Road NE, Suite 103 (across from Kaiser Permanente).

Our dedicated physicians and staff are looking forward to providing you with personalized, compassionate, highest-quality healthcare.

Welcome to our clinic.

Warm Regards,

The Doctors and Staff

Cosmetic Dermatology

Cosmetic dermatology procedures can improve the appearance of the skin by correcting skin flaws such as acne, scars, and wrinkles. Dermatologists can also treat skin conditions that may not necessarily be harmful, but can affect or even disfigure a person’s appearance.

At our office, Dr. Shauna Richert and Dr. Michael Elm will work with you in selecting the appropriate cosmetic dermatology procedures that meet your aesthetic goals.
