Dr. Karla Pivik
Board-Certified Dermatologist · Founder
Dr. Karla Pivik is a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Juniper Dermatology, serving patients in Bend and Redmond, Oregon with a patient-centered, whole-person approach.
Background
Whole-person care, grounded in expertise.
Dr. Karla Pivik is a board-certified dermatologist with a deeply patient-centered approach to skin care. She hails from Green River, Wyoming, earned two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Wyoming, and discovered a love of travel during a foreign-exchange program in Salamanca, Spain.
She attended osteopathic medical school at Western University of Health Sciences in Southern California, graduating with honors, then completed her dermatology residency in Oregon and served as chief resident in her final year. Following the osteopathic philosophy, she treats both the skin and the whole person, mindful of the psychosocial impact of dermatologic conditions.
