The board certified dermatologists at Derick Dermatology treat the body’s largest organ, your skin. Like any other organ, it can be affected by disease, accident, illness, injury and birth defect. How effectively it is treated determines the continued health and vibrancy of your skin.

Did you know that your Derick dermatologist can also treat issues involving your nails, hair and mucous membranes (linings inside your mouth, nose and eyelids)? How you view yourself can dramatically impact your self-esteem and feeling of self-worth. Derick Dermatology can help.

Why would you need to see a dermatologist? How can the professionals at Derick help? Why choose Derick Dermatology? These are all excellent questions. They routinely treat everything from skin cancer, eczema, acne, psoriasis and nail infections. Are your concerned about wrinkles, age spots and other signs of aging? Would you like to lessen the effect of those noticeable acne scars or skin cancer surgery? You should consider visiting a dermatologist. They diagnose and treat over 3,000 different diseases.

The Right Choice in Dermatology

With all of the choices available, why should you choose Derick Dermatology? I keep mentioning “board certified” in referring to Derick’s dermatologists. Why is this important? It is the extra step that they take to ensure that their doctors can provide the finest treatment for their patients. Before becoming board certified, after completing medical school and at least a three-year dermatology residency, they must pass additional rigorous tests to confirm their knowledge and proficiency in their chosen field. This is done for you, their patients.

There are many types of dermatologists, each offering a variety of treatment options within their specialties. These include dermatopathologists, MOHS surgeons and pediatric and cosmetic dermatologists. Each performs a vital service for their patients.

Dermatopathologists use a microscope to diagnose diseases while MOHS surgeons perform a specialized surgery to treat skin cancer. The prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the skin are the job of the Medical dermatologist.

It is your Cosmetic dermatologist whose treatments can improve the appearance of your nails, hair and skin. Pediatric dermatologists have an especially difficult job because they are working with impressionable children in a medical environment. No aspect of treatment is overlooked by any of these caring professionals at your local Derick Dermatology office.

Not all dermatologists are equal. Some dermatologist who have not actually received specific training still perform these treatments. Knowing that the quality and safety of procedures depends on the skill of the practitioner, Derick Dermatology ensures that each of their dermatologists is board certified in his area of expertise.

Derick can be your single source for all of your skin care needs. A series of strategically situated Derick Dermatology offices provides potential patients with the choice of convenient locations to enhance and simplify their dermatology experience.

There are always options in your choice of dermatologists. Consider your choices carefully. If you are dissatisfied with something about your skin, there is something that you can do about it but ask yourself some important questions. Are they board certified? Do they offer a full range of services and procedures?

Are they conveniently located? If the answer to any of these questions is “no,” your local Derick Dermatology is the clear choice. Call for an appointment today. You’ll be glad you did.
