Medical Services

A dermatologist specializes in diseases of the skin, the largest organ of the body. This is his area of expertise. Some diseases are easier to recognize than others. However, a skin manifestation may be the first symptom of an internal disease. For this reason skin diseases require highly specialized physicians.

Diagnosis

The first step in medical treatment is diagnosis.  A board certified dermatologist or an associate working under his direct supervision is the specialist with the expertise, education and experience to make a diagnosis of a dermatological condition. Dermatologists diagnose and treat diseases of the skin, hair, and nails.  Our providers diagnose and treat patients of all ages and ethnicities.

Treatment

Treatment of the conditions listed above can include topical treatment and over the counter medicines, prescription medicines taken internally or applied topically, specialized biologic agents, recognition of possible drug reactions or allergies, and combinations of treatment according to the patient’s specific circumstances and needs. Our providers are first motivated to make the correct diagnosis using their education, experience and research.  Diagnosis of skin diseases is best made by dermatologists.  Our providers also access the resources of skilled dermatopathologists.
