Biography
Dr. Skinner received her undergraduate degree in Human Biology from Stanford and MD from Keck USC Medical School. She completed a residency in Urology at LAC+USC Medical Center, and a fellowship in Urologic Oncology under Dr. Donald Skinner at the Norris Cancer Center at USC. She was on the faculty at USC from 1990 through 2012. She was recruited to Stanford University to become Chair of the Department of Urology in May 2012.
Dr. Skinner has received a number of awards including a Stop Cancer career development award, numerous teaching awards and listing in “Best Doctors” for over a decade. Her primary focus has been in the surgical treatment of locally advanced bladder cancer and is a nationally recognized expert in bladder reconstruction and continent urinary diversion. She has active ongoing clinical trials in the treatment of bladder cancer and other urologic malignancies.

Very thorough
Wonderful doctor and person. Stanford is fortunate to have her.
I feel very lucky to have Dr. Skinner. She is the consummate professional .
Three trips to Stanford ER did not resolve my bleeding bladder, Radiation Cystitis. Dr. Skinner's methodical approach succeeded. Dr. Skinner's medical knowledge and the compassion gave me the confidence to know that I am in good hands. My wife and I are most grateful for the wonderful and caring services from this team. Thank you.
Excellent doctor.
She lives up to her reputation as an expert in her field and combines that with a caring and attentive persona. Five stars...so far
She was very helpful and easy to talk to. I wish she was not so busy as I would like her to do the surgery. But at this point I will be happy with who ever does the surgery.
She has a delightful personality. She put us at ease immediately and let us know that she was eager and willing to answer all questions we had. She was very good at explaining detailed information regarding my condition in a way that my husband and I could easily understand. She clearly outlined the various treatment possibilities so that we understood what our future would involve. We feel very confident about having her as our primary care giver. She clearly explained what our next steps would be and what Stanford would do to make that happen. We are pleased with the process of our video meeting and with its results. Thank you Dr. Skinner.

Dr Skinner was very thorough in listening to my bladder cancer history and asking questions to understand the events. She asked about my medical history, which was relevant to cancer treatment options' side effects. Though my neuropathy and joint problems were not her specialty, she cared and sought a way to help. She gave a good explanation of her experience with my cancer, her interactions with my VA Urologists, her recommended path forward, the steps she was going to take, and when I should expect to hear back from her or her staff.
