Tips for finding a good dermatologist who is aligned with your needs

Your skin and facial appearance are not only one of the first few things people notice when they look at you, as these features are also often linked with your self-confidence. Whether you are trying to find a board-certified dermatologist who brings experience and compassion into the management of skin issues, or you are looking for someone who will use the utmost care and precision in helping you achieve your cosmetic goals, the team at Mitchell Dermatology in Perrysburg and Fremont, Ohio, is here to meet your needs. 

Finding a good dermatologist

When you are looking for a dermatologist to whom you can entrust your skin care, you can take a few steps to ensure that you find the person who is the right fit for your needs.

• Look into their qualifications and certifications. High-quality dermatological care requires more than just a medical degree. Check that the dermatologist is certified by the American Board of Dermatology and has experience treating the specific issues that you need addressed.
• Look at reviews of the dermatology practice to get a sense of other patients’ experiences with the provider. 
• Consult with the dermatologist yourself. When you meet with a new dermatologist, ask yourself whether they pay sufficient attention to your concerns and provide you with the information you need to explore your options thoroughly. Think about how they communicate with you, your level of comfort talking with them, and whether you feel free to ask questions about your care.
• Check whether they are covered by your insurance carrier. The practice’s website is an excellent place to start, and if you are unsure, the dermatologist’s team should be happy to help you determine whether they are in-network with your carrier.

We invite you to explore the Mitchell Dermatology website to begin your research, which includes real stories from patients who have received care at our practice.
