Skin health, screenings, and chronic conditions.

“My annual skin check found a spot my primary doctor never would have flagged. Dr. Whitfield biopsied it same-day and it turned out to be caught early. I recommend the yearly screening to everyone now.”
“I was nervous walking into a medical dermatology office for Botox, worried it would feel clinical and cold. It didn't - the same team that does skin checks also does my injectables, and they know my whole skin history.”
“My son's eczema had been unmanaged for years. Dr. Whitfield actually explained the why behind the treatment plan instead of just handing us a prescription. Huge difference in three months.”
What our customers say
Dr. Whitfield spent real time with me instead of rushing through the appointment. My skin has never looked better.
Booked a same-week appointment for a mole check and they got me in fast. Very thorough and put me at ease.
The North Austin office is so convenient and the whole staff is warm and professional. Highly recommend for cosmetic treatments.
Finally found a dermatologist who explains everything clearly before recommending anything. No pressure, just good care.
Great results from my chemical peel series. Only reason for four stars is parking can be tight at the Barton Springs office.
Questions
No referral needed - you can book an annual skin check directly with us. Most PPO plans cover a yearly screening as preventive care; we verify your benefits before your visit.
Botox relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (forehead lines, crow's feet). Filler adds volume to areas that have lost it (cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips). Many patients use both - we'll recommend the right combination at your consultation.
Cosmetic treatments like Botox, filler, and laser are self-pay, since insurance doesn't cover elective aesthetic care. Medical dermatology visits - skin checks, biopsies, acne, and eczema treatment - are billed to your insurance like any other doctor's visit.
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends an annual full-body exam for most adults, and more frequently if you have a personal or family history of skin cancer, many moles, or significant sun exposure. We'll set the right interval for you at your first visit.
