Dr. Sandra Lee exploded in popularity in recent years when her TLC show “Dr. Pimple Popper” became a hit. The show follows the doctor as she navigates difficult, and sometimes gross, skin conditions with her patients. Since being put into the limelight, she has established a significant fanbase, but what is Dr. Sandra Lee’s net worth? Here’s everything you need to know.
About Sandra Lee
When you Google “Sandra Lee,” many of the search results come up with photos and stories about the celebrity chef. However, TLC’s Dr. Pimple Popper has made quite a name for herself as well. Born on December 20, 1970, in Queens, New York, Sandra Lee practically had dermatology in her blood. Her parents migrated to New York in 1969 and her father was a retired dermatologist.
Eventually, the family relocated to Southern California and Lee went on to attend college at UCLA. Throughout her undergraduate career, she worked part-time as a medical assistant for an allergist in Los Angeles. After graduating, she went on to medical school at the Drexel University College of Medicine, where she graduated in 1998. Over the next several years, she continued to learn everything she could about dermatology, cosmetic surgery, and lasers.

Sandra Lee made her way back to California, where she now lives with her husband, Jeffrey C. Rebish (m 2000). Her hubby is also a dermatologist and has been there throughout much of Dr. Pimple Popper’s career.
How Did Sandra Lee Land a TLC Show?
Before TLC discovered Dr. Sandra Lee, she was posting videos to YouTube. She wasn’t really taking things seriously until 2015 when she realized many of her extraction videos were gaining traction on social media. If clients allowed her to film, she would frequently offer discounted or free treatment for their skin issues. Her videos gained a lot of attention, including that of producers at TLC.
In 2018, she signed the paperwork for her very own reality television show. Thus, “Dr. Pimple Popper” was born. What have the show, the YouTube channel, and social media done for Dr. Sandra Lee’s net worth?
Dr. Sandra Lee’s Net Worth
There are varying numbers on the web about Dr. Sandra Lee’s net worth. Most of them land in the vicinity of an estimated net worth of $7 million. Her earnings from “Dr. Pimple Popper” aren’t known, but it is safe to assume that the program and the opportunities it opened up have greatly contributed to her overall wealth.
Beyond her YouTube videos and TLC show, Lee has also launched her own skincare line. In 2017, she released SLMD Skincare Products. According to the brand website, there are a plethora of options available, ranging from face care to full body care.
That’s not all she has going on either. Dr. Sandra Lee is going to be a part of an all-new Lifetime show called “Dr. Pimple Popper: Breaking Out.” It will reportedly air on April 21, 2025, and continue to air new episodes on Mondays at 10 p.m. EST. The format will be a bit different than the TLC show, with Dr. Lee bringing new dermatologists into the operating room so that she can pass down some of her knowledge to the next generation of pimple poppers. She and her husband, along with Sergio Alfaro and Scott Cooper, are executive producers on the project.
