About the specialty

What dermatology do

Dermatologists diagnose and treat conditions of the skin, hair, and nails — from a suspicious mole or persistent acne to autoimmune skin disease and skin cancer. Most visits are 15–30 minutes and include a full-body skin check when appropriate. Board-certified dermatologists perform biopsies and simple surgical excisions in-office; Mohs surgeons handle complex skin-cancer removal on the face and hands.

Questions to ask at your first visit

  1. 1Should this mole be biopsied?
  2. 2How often do I need a full-body skin check?
  3. 3What's the safest sunscreen for my skin type?
  4. 4Are my current products making this condition worse?
  5. 5What are the risks of the treatment you're recommending?
  6. 6Is there a generic or lower-cost alternative to the prescribed medication?

How to choose dermatology

  • Confirm board certification with the American Board of Dermatology.
  • For skin cancer, look for fellowship training in Mohs micrographic surgery.
  • For aesthetic work, ask how many years the doctor has performed the specific injectable or laser you want.
  • Prefer offices with in-house pathology or a fast turnaround from a Dermatopathology lab.
  • Verify the practice does full-body skin exams — some cosmetic-only offices don't.

Dermatology — frequently asked

What does a dermatology treat?

Dermatology focus on the conditions and procedures within their board-certified scope of practice. Each clinician profile on Help Me Find A Doctor lists their primary taxonomy from the federal NPPES NPI Registry, so you can confirm the specialty match before you call.

How do I find a dermatology near me?

Pick your state below, then your city, to see dermatology practicing in that metro with verified addresses and phone numbers. You can also search by ZIP code from the Find a Doctor page and filter by insurance.

Are the dermatology listed here verified?

Yes. Every listing originates from the federal NPPES NPI Registry, the authoritative U.S. source for clinician identity, credentials, and practice location. Profiles claimed by the clinician or their practice staff carry an additional Verified badge.

Do I need a referral to see a dermatology?

It depends on your plan. HMO plans usually require a primary-care referral before a specialist visit, while PPO and most Medicare Advantage plans let you self-refer. Confirm with the office when you book — they verify referral and prior-authorization requirements as part of scheduling.

How much does a dermatology visit cost?

A first consultation typically runs $150–$400 without insurance, and a standard specialist copay ($30–$75) with in-network coverage. Elective and cosmetic procedures are generally self-pay. Ask the office for a good-faith estimate before your appointment.

Is Help Me Find A Doctor free to use?

Yes. Browsing dermatology, comparing profiles, and requesting appointments are free for patients. We do not sell your search history, and no payment is required to contact a listed clinician.
