What Is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a board-certified physician specializing in conditions of the skin, hair, and nails. Unlike a general practitioner who provides broad primary care, this specialist completes years of specialized residency training focused entirely on the skin and its related structures. This focused training means the physician can accurately diagnose conditions that a primary care doctor may refer out, ranging from chronic inflammatory diseases to suspicious lesions that require further evaluation.


AAP Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, P.C. near Tempe, AZ, brings this specialized expertise to patients across the East Valley and greater Phoenix area, with Dr. Ronald Glick, D.O., serving as the lead board-certified physician since the practice opened in 1988.



Conditions a Dermatologist May Treat

The practice can address a wide spectrum of medical and cosmetic skin concerns, including:

 

  • Acne, rosacea, and other inflammatory skin conditions.
  • Eczema, psoriasis, and chronic skin diseases.
  • Skin cancer screening, diagnosis, and reconstructive surgery.
  • Wart removal, cyst treatment, and skin growth evaluation.
  • Hair loss (alopecia) and nail disorders.
  • Cosmetic concerns such as sun damage, pigmentation, and scarring.


Arizona's intense sun exposure and dry desert climate can accelerate UV-related skin damage, making routine dermatology care particularly valuable for residents near Tempe, AZ, and the surrounding communities of Mesa, Chandler, and Scottsdale.


When Should You See a Dermatologist?

You may benefit from seeing a skin specialist any time a concern persists, worsens, or does not respond to over-the-counter care. Common reasons to schedule an appointment include a new or changing mole, a rash that lingers beyond a few weeks, recurring acne that affects daily confidence, or a desire for a baseline full-body skin exam. Annual skin checks are often recommended for anyone with significant sun exposure history, a family history of skin cancer, or a fair complexion.


This type of specialist differs from a general practitioner in that the entire scope of practice is devoted to skin, hair, and nail health. This depth of focus can lead to faster diagnosis and more targeted treatment plans.
