Pediatrics
The Pediatric Dermatology Program provides care to children
of all age groups. We promote sun-awareness behavior in children
of all ages and provide guidance for a lifetime of healthy skin,
hair and nails.
Children cannot always say what is bothering them. They
cannot always answer medical questions, and are not always able
to be patient and helpful during a medical exam. Pediatric
dermatologists know how to examine and treat children in a way
that puts them at ease. Our dermatologists are board certified
in pediatric dermatology and many have additional advanced
training. They have extensive experience and a vast array of
special clinical interests.
Because we are part of a university hospital, patients
receive the benefits of the latest research and innovations in
health care. If your pediatrician suggests that your child see a
pediatric dermatologist, you can be assured that your child will
receive the best possible medical care.
