When she is not providing expert care, Dr. Kilcline enjoys cheering on her children’s soccer teams, enjoying her husband’s cooking, practicing yoga, learning to paddle board, cheering for the San Francisco Giants, and exploring the beautiful Central Coast, while still searching for seashells. Since 20006, she has contributed her expertise to the Spot Me Skin Cancer Screening Program, demonstrating her dedication to community health and education.

Coastal Dermatology + Aesthetics stands as a beacon of hope and healing for families in San Luis Obispo, and with Dr. Christine Kilcline at the helm, the practice continues to thrive as a trusted source of dermatologic care.
