A Physician-Led Medical Spa 14.6 Miles From Woodside
A different route from the rest of the Peninsula
From Woodside the sensible way here is Interstate 280 to Highway 92, then Alameda de las Pulgas. 14.6 miles, around 22 minutes without traffic.
That route does not run through the US-101 and Highway 92 interchange that Caltrans is rebuilding until summer 2028, which affects drivers coming up US-101 from Palo Alto, Menlo Park and Atherton. Woodside patients come the other way round and avoid it.
There is no Caltrain station in Woodside, so this is a driving trip. Parking when you arrive is private, on-site and free.
Why make the trip
Woodside is a town where people tend to choose a physician and stay with them. We are built around that. Every procedure is done with Dr. Susan Lin, who has practised medicine since 1991 and has been at this same San Mateo address for over 18 years. She was board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. She performs every treatment personally.
We are a small, appointment-only practice, so there is no waiting room churn and no rotating roster. Appointments run to a fixed start time.
Private, physician-led, and easy to reach from either highway
We are in central San Mateo, reachable from Interstate 280 or US-101, with private on-site parking at no cost. Many patients want a reputable, private practice rather than a large chain; at many chain clinics treatment is delivered by nurses, nurse practitioners or physician assistants. Here your consultation is with Dr. Susan Lin herself.
The same physician, for over 18 years
MD Laser and Cosmetics was founded in 2006 and has been at this San Mateo address for over 18 years. Your consultation is with Dr. Susan Lin herself, trained in obstetrics and gynecology and practising since 1991. She is fluent in Mandarin. She performs every treatment personally. Most patients come for Botox, Dysport and dermal fillers, with an emphasis on natural results. We are open Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 5:00, by appointment. The $150 new-patient consultation is applied toward same-day treatment, in person or by video.
