Are you frustrated by a skin problem?

Do you want to spend 'quality time' picking the brain of a dermatologist?

You can have that here!

I love to teach and my patients love to learn. I’ve spent over 30 years watching when the 'light bulb' goes off in someone’s eyes as they finally understand the what and why about their frustrating skin problem.  I’ve learned to translate ‘doctor speak’ and I love sharing what I know with people who are interested in it too.

Remember, the right treatment always starts with the right diagnosis. Use this information to help you understand your skin. If you are unsure of your self-diagnosis then see your personal doctor to figure out exactly what your skin problem is. You can bring them this information to see if they feel that my tips are right for you.
