Learn about this medical specialty and the skin disorders we treat.

Dermatology is a field of medicine that deals with the science of skin, including its structure, function and diseases. As the largest and most visible organ of the body, skin serves many purposes, such as controlling body temperature, protecting against injury and serving as a barrier against infection.
A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in caring for your skin. This type of doctor is equipped with refined understanding of the skin and capable of diagnosing and treating skin disorders. Dermatologists are also skin surgeons, who perform surgery on the skin to remove cancer. If you have any significant skin problem, a dermatologist is the medical expert you should consult.
