Arema Pereira, MD

I have wanted to be a doctor since she was about seven years old. I feel medicine is both an art and a science and that it is dynamic, challenging and requires a commitment to lifelong learning. Dr. Shih treats a broad range of dermatologic conditions. She is especially interested in complex medical dermatology, particularly oncologic and rheumatologic skin conditions.

The trust relationship between a provider and a patient is really important to me. Seeing that relationship through as the years progress, is an aspect of medicine I can achieve as an internist. I find my daily encounters with my patients rewarding. I want my patients to feel empowered about their health.

My goal is first to provide up to date medical information to support and encourage our patients as they make medical decisions and second to assist patients in meeting their health and wellness goals.
