The Israel Englander Department of Dermatology welcomes patients with complex dermatological needs.

Our team includes board-certified dermatologists who have extensive training and expertise treating advanced or challenging skin conditions. Often, these conditions require more time and medical expertise than many dermatological centers have to achieve an effective, successful result.

At �鶹����, we are proud of our extensive record of success with the most complex cases. We succeed by working closely with our patients, taking the time needed to understand their medical and dermatological conditions, as well as their goals. We also collaborate closely with other specialists to develop a comprehensive, effective treatment plan.

Patients travel from throughout the region and nation to receive evaluation and treatment from our expert complex medical dermatologists. Our dermatologists see adult, adolescent, and pediatric patients.  

What is Complex Medical Dermatology?

This highly specialized field is not found at every dermatological center. In fact, trained and board-certified complex medical dermatologists practice at a few academic medical centers throughout the country. This specialty focuses on overall wellness.

Complex medical dermatologists treat difficult, rare, or complex skin conditions that may be the result of an internal medicine disease, systemic disease, autoimmune disease, or contact dermatitis (skin allergy). Some of the conditions affect only the skin, while others affect other parts of the body.

Evaluating and treating these conditions requires expertise in both internal medicine and dermatology. In some cases, the dermatologist will collaborate with another specialist, such as a rheumatologist, gastroenterologist, or other physicians.
