About Dr. MacGillivray

Dr. MacGillivray is a double board-certified Dermatologist with accreditation in both Canada and the United States.

Dr. MacGillivray completed her dermatology training at the University of Alberta where she served as co-chief resident. During her training she completed specialized rotations in Tropical Medicine (Toronto), Hair and Nail diseases (Miami), Skin of Colour (Dallas), and Melanoma Multidisciplinary Management (Edmonton). Before relocating to Barrie, ON she practiced at the Western Canadian Dermatology Institute, which had a strong focus on the treatment of skin cancer.

She relocated to Barrie, ON in 2021 and founded the FullCircleDerm Virtual Acne Clinic. She says, “Acne is an excellent condition to treat virtually. It is most often located on the face, which can be easily seen on camera.” Many of her patients come from communities that don’t have many dermatologists. A virtual clinic allows them to still receive care. “Many people don’t realize that acne is a medical condition. And, if treatment is delayed, permanent scarring can result.”

She also runs the Skin Cancer Biopsy Clinic at the Royal Victoria Regional Hospital and has a special focused Indigenous Health clinic. Dr. MacGillivray says, “The Indigenous Health-focused clinic increases access to care for communities that often face barriers.”

When she’s not helping patients, you’ll find her on the local hiking trails with her poodle, Kylo. And yes, she confesses, she’s a bit of a foodie and enjoys meeting friends at Barrie’s quaint restaurants and cafes.
