About Us

We Believe Patient Care Comes First

Physician-owned, Physician-controlled

Neighborhood Dermatology, a division of Texas Skin Surgery Center, PA, is proud to remain a private physician-owned and physician-controlled dermatology practice. In direct contrast to many larger dermatology practices that are managed by private equity or venture capital firms, we do not answer to a board of directors or a group of investors - all of our decisions are based solely on what is best for our patients. Your health, comfort, and confidence are always our top priorities.

At Neighborhood Dermatology, our “patient-first” philosophy, combined with our commitment to the latest advances in dermatology, allows us to provide personalized care tailored to your unique needs. We are passionate about what we do and genuinely care about the well-being of every patient we serve.
