Expert Diagnosis & Custom Psoriasis Treatment
The specialists at Dermatology LTD understand the pain and embarrassment that can often result from a psoriasis diagnosis. That is why we spend ample time with each patient to pinpoint exactly which type of psoriasis they have, learn their triggers, and come up with a customized treatment plan that will help them manage their symptoms effectively. Our practice is proud to offer phototherapy for psoriasis, an alternative treatment that is not commonly offered among most dermatology groups. Speak with one of our board-certified dermatologists if you would like to determine whether or not phototherapy is right for you.
