Acne Treatment
Our acne treatments address mild to severe cases through topical agents, oral medications, and in-office procedures. We create personalized plans to reduce breakouts, prevent scarring, and improve skin health. Patients benefit from expert evaluation of contributing factors like hormones and genetics.

FDA-approved Botox injections smooth facial wrinkles by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles. Our providers administer precise treatments for crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead wrinkles, ensuring natural-looking results that last 3-4 months.
Skin Cancer Screening
We conduct comprehensive skin exams to detect early signs of melanoma and other skin cancers. Our screenings include mole mapping and ABCDE assessment, with biopsy capabilities for suspicious lesions. Patients receive education on sun protection and self-monitoring techniques.
Psoriasis Management
Our psoriasis treatments combine topical medications, light therapy, and systemic treatments to reduce inflammation and skin cell overproduction. We develop long-term management plans tailored to plaque, guttate, or inverse psoriasis presentations.

Staff is amazing! Great people. Dr. Finnin on the other hand is just not it. She doesnt know anything about black hair and scalps. She told me to wash my hair daily with something not knowing black people cant do that. When I educated her on black people (she should already know) she looked at me confused and as if i were nasty. Then she, told me to use oil daily but she said she GUESSES I can leave it in without washing it out so much. Even ik oil cant be on a scalp for days at a time. Also, the oil she prescribed me has peanut oil in it which im allergic to. It was my first visit. I told

They just care about the money. After I came out of the office, I wanted to ask sth about medicine . And they told me to wait for 10 mins. Waited. Doctor didn't show up, he nurse who knew nothing about the medicine started briefing about the medicine. Was telling me incorrect stuff, so I again asked her to call doctor instead, and she still went on about herself telling me about the medicine which was wrong description. They take your money. And neither give you correct info nor care. Let me know if anyone else wanna sue this place.

What a shame. Only reason we went with this group is they claimed to be in the military Tricare network. We provided ALL CORRECT TRICARE billing information three times (twice in person and once by phone) and they could still not seem to bill the correct insurance. When I was finally able to get an appointment for a skin cancer screening for myself- I arrived 45 minutes early and they still took me almost 40 minutes AFTER my scheduled appointment only to have the MD spend approximately 4 minutes with me, tell me I had skin damage and to make another appointment in six months. He could not get me

I had a great experience at this office. Everyone was friendly and easy to deal with. I saw the stand in Dr Clemens? and he put my mind at ease over a suspicious mole. I like that he did not push medication on to me but suggested better food and nutrition for my other skin condition. I would highly recommend if you need to see a dermatologist in the area.

I had a terrible experience here. This was my first appointment and I saw the doctor for maybe a total of 5 minutes. The first question he asked was "How bad is it really? Do you really need to do anything about it?" about the skin irritation I have had for over 3 months. He didn't tell me what it was, he simply said, "we could give you a cream, but as soon as you stop using it, it will just come back."
He then started talking to me about a completely unrelated medical condition I have, which I see a specialist for. He literally told me, if I wanted to fix the problem (which he had zero background
