Sandra Siew Pin Lee-Rebish was born on December 20, 1970, in Flushing, Queens, New York City. Her parents, a Singaporean father and Malaysian mother, immigrated to New York in 1969 before moving to Southern California when Lee was five years old. She pursued her undergraduate education at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she gained early medical experience working part-time as a medical assistant. Dr. Lee then attended Drexel University College of Medicine, graduating in 1998. Following her medical degree, she completed an internship in internal medicine at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh and a dermatology residency at Southern Illinois University. She further specialized in laser, dermatological, and cosmetic surgery in San Diego before establishing her practice, Skin Physicians & Surgeons, in Upland, California, where she practices with her husband, Jeffrey C. Rebish.
Dr. Lee’s career evolved significantly with her entry into online video content. In 2010, she began uploading medical videos to YouTube. However, it was in 2015 when her Instagram videos featuring skin extractions gained widespread popularity, that she increased her YouTube activity. This digital presence led to her becoming known globally as Dr. Pimple Popper. Her approach to content involved offering patients discounted or free treatment in exchange for permission to film and share their procedures. This online success paved the way for a broader career progression, including television and product development.

Her visibility continued to grow, leading to a partnership with TLC in 2018 for her own reality television series, ‘Dr. Pimple Popper.’ The show, which premiered on July 11, 2018, documents her work with patients with various dermatological conditions, further cementing her status as a public figure in dermatology.
