History
McComb Skin Clinic was established in 1999, by Dr. James M. Brock, Jr., in McComb Mississippi to provide medical and surgical dermatological care for adults and children, continuing a family tradition of the practice of medicine into the fourth generation of physicians. Dr. Brock had practiced dermatology for the previous 15 years with his father in the Brock Skin Surgery Clinic.
This McComb tradition began in 1934, when Dr. L. W. Brock began the practice of general medicine and surgery in McComb at the McComb Infirmary, one of the first hospitals of its kind in Southwest Mississippi, offering medical and surgical care. Today, McComb Skin Clinic continues this legacy of complete care by an experienced, knowledgeable staff in a compassionate atmosphere.
