She has taken her 20 years of experience as a Mohs skin cancer surgeon and translated it into a passion for combining detail and precision in Aesthetics.

“I love assessing how shadow and light interplay when a patient smiles and expresses to be able to discern which combination of fillers and treatments can restore their individual beauty.  The art of Aesthetics is a complex assessment of seeing and feeling the skin combined with the experience in knowing which filler and technique are necessary to achieve the desired look. Attentiveness and perception of the patient’s wishes is critical in achieving success.”

My name is Karlee Knight and I am thrilled to be working at Newport Coast Dermatology as one of Dr. Liu’s Physician Assistants.  I went to undergrad at the University of Southern California and decided to complete my PA training at USC as well.  Since becoming a PA, my experience has been in Urgent Care at Newport Center Urgent Care, Emergency Medicine at St. Joseph Hospital and Dermatology.  I’m happy to be working in Orange County where I’ve lived most of my life.  Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, especially my husband and daughter.  We love to spend weekends at the river or days at the beach.  When I catch some time for myself, I enjoy taking exercise classes.  I absolutely love working as a Physician Assistant in Dermatology as it fulfills my passion for helping others feel more confident in their skin.
