Yes to Appropriate Compounding, No to Illegal Compounding

Dermatology is often described as a "visual" specialty. While it is true that many of our diagnoses can be made based on a relatively quick recognition of morphology, such a characterization of our profession overlooks the reality that dermatologists are "doers" in the clinic. From aesthetic injections to biopsies and cryosurgery, much of our patient care time is spent performing minor and major procedures. We are well known for our in-office efficiency and cost saving practices.
