About Vanguard Skin Specialists

Only a select few have the power and influence to change the world with a single act; the rest of us must rely on a lifetime of smaller, everyday actions to change the world for the better. At Vanguard Skin Specialists, our mission is to make a positive impact on our patients, our community, and our world. This transformative idea drives everything we do. Whether it’s opening offices in underserved communities, donating 100% of the aesthetic retail profits to charity, organizing impact missions around the world, or simply providing patients with our cell phone numbers, we genuinely care about the impact we make, and this philosophy tends to attract a different breed of providers to our practice. It’s never just a “job” to our providers—it’s a calling—and when you’re motivated by something bigger and more significant than a paycheck, your patients notice. In fact, the entire patient experience, from start to finish, just feels different from other practices. When you walk in the door, our reception staff channels their inner party host in welcoming patients to Vanguard. All of our spaces are intentionally decorated to make a personal connection. Our scribes and MAs take notes dur...ing patient visits, so our doctors are able to focus completely on the patient. The entire experience is designed to feel warm and welcoming for patients. We are physician owned and operated. We believe doctors should have the autonomy and support to practice medicine, so that they can fulfill their calling. Our passion is to help our patients and the greater community, and we are able to fulfill that promise because our team is truly one of a kind. We are dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and medical professionals who believe in changing the world for the better – one patient at a time.
