Dermatology Clinics:
Tulane University Medical Center is a leader in both general
and specialized dermatologic medicine. Tulane offers exceptional
capabilities and expertise in every area of dermatology -
from the treatment of common skin conditions such as acne,
dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo or alopecia to the more complex
laser surgeries and cancer therapies. The physicians who staff
Tulane's Dermatology Department combine advanced techniques
and technology with sensitivity to patient concerns. The nurses
and technicians are experienced, knowledgeable, and responsive
on a personal as well as professional level. Referring physicians
and patients alike choose Tulane Dermatology because of the
broad range of services and subspecialties available under
one roof - all because Tulane dermatologists are easily accessible.
We communicate directly, frequently and in great detail with
referring physicians. This complete and timely consultation
between Tulane's dermatologists and the referring physicians
ensures an effective continuity of care for every patient.
As
a vital component of Tulane University Medical Center, the
Department of Dermatology is supported by the facilities and
resources of a respected tertiary care facility with more
than 250 physicians representing virtually all medical specialties
and subspecialties. Tulane dermatologists draw upon this broad,
deep expertise, as needed, to give their patients the advantage
of a strong, interdisciplinary perspective.
Millions of Americans are bothered by common skin conditions
- the itching, scaling, and perhaps, slight burning or soreness.
Although not life threatening, such conditions can affect
appearance, resulting in self-consciousness, embarrassment
or a tendency to withdraw socially.
On the other hand, some skin diseases are more serious. Malignant
melanomas and the skin manifestation of T-cell lymphomas,
for instance, demand immediate attention and treatment.
Tulane's board-certified dermatologists can help to control annoying skin conditions that
require standard care, as well as those conditions that have
defied traditional treatments.
Help is available at Tulane's Department of Dermatology.
