General Medical Dermatology

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a doctor who specializes in skin, nails and hair, their conditions and diseases. Following the successful completion of extensive education and medical residency, a dermatologist is certified by the American Board of Dermatology and may treat medical, surgical and cosmetic conditions of the skin, hair and nails, including everything from acne to on-going conditions, such as eczema and skin cancer.

The expert dermatologist is able to distinguish between conditions that share similar symptoms but respond differently to like treatment. The compassionate dermatologist takes the time to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to you, your skin condition, and your life. The honest dermatologist strives to educate you about habits that will positively affect the health and beauty of your skin for a lifetime.
