We Started With Skin. We Couldn't Stop There.

Where This Began

In 2012, Dr. Brenda Dintiman founded DermUtopia — one of the first telemedicine dermatology platforms, built before "virtual visit" was a phrase most patients recognized yet. The idea was simple: expert care shouldn't depend on how close you live to a specialist.

Over the years, a pattern emerged. Patients would come in for their skin — acne, aging, hormonal breakouts — and the conversation would keep widening. Why is my skin doing this now? Could this be menopause? Is my weight part of this? DermUtopia was built for skin. It wasn't built to take on the rest.

Why Vivaz Exists

Vivaz Wellness is our answer to that gap. Same team, same evidence-based standards DermUtopia patients already trust — pointed at metabolic health, hormone health, and the everyday habits that actually add up to feeling well. This isn't a new practice starting from scratch. It's the other half of a conversation we were already having.

Meet the Doctor

Telehealth

Dr. Liz Allan

Dr. Allan sees Vivaz patients virtually, wherever they are. She practices medicine like a friend who happens to have the training — no lectures, no twenty-item lists, just an honest look at what's actually going on and one clear next step you can actually stick to. She's spent years working with perimenopause, menopause, weight, and fatigue, and she's never once believed that "your labs are normal" is the end of the conversation.

Our Philosophy

Health didn't break in a day, and it doesn't get fixed in a day either. We don't sell quick fixes, supplement stacks, or one-size-fits-all protocols. We build a plan around your labs, your life, and your goals — then we stay in it with you.
