About the Co-Founders

We met as residents in different programs. After graduation, we both were faculty at our respective programs and began collaborating with each other in residency teaching. Our ethos in patient care is very well aligned. We always put patients first,  work well together, and seek out advice from others in the spirit of always doing what is best for our patients. We value continued education to become the best physicians possible. This collaboration, and ultimately friendship, inspired us to form The Dermatology Collaborative. It is our mission to bring that same spirit of collaboration and education to our colleagues across multiple specialties, not just in dermatology.
