Dermatology Services
Our dermatology services encompass comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. We address chronic issues like eczema, psoriasis, and acne while offering preventive care for skin cancer. Our board-certified specialists use evidence-based approaches to manage both common and complex dermatological concerns, ensuring personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs. This service supports long-term skin health through medical expertise and patient education.
Skin Cancer Treatment
We provide advanced skin cancer detection and treatment, including surgical removal of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Our approach combines early diagnosis through thorough skin exams with curative interventions like excision and cryotherapy. Patients benefit from specialized care that prioritizes tissue preservation while achieving optimal outcomes, supported by ongoing monitoring for those with elevated risk factors or prior diagnoses.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery offers precise removal of skin cancer with immediate microscopic analysis to ensure complete tumor eradication. This technique achieves high cure rates while minimizing healthy tissue removal, making it ideal for facial cancers and recurrent cases. Our fellowship-trained surgeons perform over 34,000 procedures, combining technical expertise with reconstructive options to maintain both health and aesthetic outcomes.
Aesthetic Procedures
Our aesthetic services include BBL, laser therapies, chemical peels, and injectables to address signs of aging and skin imperfections. These non-invasive treatments improve texture, tone, and radiance while stimulating collagen production. Customized facial treatments and skincare consultations help patients achieve their desired appearance through safe, effective methods backed by dermatological science.
Skin Conditions
We specialize in managing chronic skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, and vitiligo through targeted therapies and lifestyle guidance. Our team addresses both symptoms and underlying causes, offering relief for inflammatory disorders and autoimmune-related skin issues. By combining prescription treatments with patient education, we help individuals control flare-ups and maintain healthier skin function over time.

I took my infant grandson to Fort Wayne Dermatology Consultants for treatment of eczema. Audrey Jones provided EXCELLENT service! She spent a great deal of time reviewing his case, and was extremely patient answering questions. She provided a ton of helpful information, and referred us to a specialty pharmacy for medication. My grandsons condition has improved and we feel confident well receive good care in the event of any future flare ups! Thank you, Audrey!

Nicole is wonderful. Very pleasant and does a thorough job with whatever ailment you may be experiencing. She takes time to answer all of your questions and is very knowledgeable. She never seemed rushed and left me feeling satisfied with the appointment and treatments. Would highly recommend.

Staff is friendly and professional. my appointment was on time. Nicole was thorough in her examination and explained my condition completely. She asked if I had any other skin conditions I would like to talk about. I especially liked that she asked this question and didn't just rush from the room after dealing with my main issue. Good visit. I recommend FW Dermatology Consultants

Nicole was fantastic. Its always a little nerve wracking for me to see a new medical professional for the first time. She and her nurse were so friendly and professional. It was the perfect combination. I was referred to her by a friend who said the same and Im so glad I was referred to her.
