Dr. Mendes is a Chapel Hill native and board certified dermatologist. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Clemson University’s Calhoun Honors College and obtained her medical degree from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine – Greenville. During medical school she was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honors Society and received the Academic Excellence Award, an award given to the top three students per class, each year. Dr. Mendes completed her intern year in Internal Medicine at the Mount Sinai Health System in New York before returning home to Chapel Hill for dermatology residency at the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill.
Dr. Mendes is the founding dermatologist for DeeTox Dermatology and will focus on general, cosmetic, and surgical dermatology. Her approach to dermatology is centered on the belief that every patient deserves to feel seen. She doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all protocol; instead, she takes the time to understand your unique lifestyle, concerns, and long-term goals. By combining clinical excellence with a personalized perspective, she tailors every treatment plan to optimize medical outcomes while ensuring it fits seamlessly into your daily life.
In her cosmetic dermatology practice, she focuses on delivering natural, rejuvenated results that honor your unique anatomy rather than following fleeting trends. Her approach uses evidence-based medicine and the latest scientific advancements to restore a refreshed and rested version of yourself.
When she isn’t in clinic, you can find Dr. Mendes chasing her kids around a (shaded) park, cheering on Clemson football or UNC basketball, and attempting DIY home improvement projects.
