Dr. Saya Obayan

I find practicing dermatology deeply rewarding. Compassion and hope are both integral parts of my approach to treatment. I feel the patient’s joy and sense of relief when their symptoms improve and/or disappear. I fell in love with the medical profession as a child watching my mother achieve her dream of becoming a doctor. Her hard work and perseverance inspired me to achieve my goals and give back to society wherever I can.
I have fallen in love with Austin and enjoy spending time outdoors in and around the city. I love kayaking and paddle boarding and taking in the outdoors while on the water. I enjoy hiking and have explored many of the trails in Austin.
In my spare time, I volunteer at the Hope Clinic, offering free services to those who cannot afford insurance. In addition, I serve as a role model for the Girls Empowerment Network, encouraging girls to pursue careers in medicine.
I invite you to schedule a consultation to explore your questions and experience it for yourself.
Warmest,
Saya Obayan
