Our Approach to High-Quality Dermatology Care

Northwestern Medicine offers general medical dermatology, surgical dermatology, adolescent dermatology and cosmetic dermatology services to help you keep your skin healthy and looking its best. Your skin is your body’s largest organ and keeping it healthy is important, not just for how you look and feel about yourself but also for your overall health and well-being. Our physicians understand that good health includes your body’s surface and know that skin health and appearance are important not only to your self-image, but to your general health as well.
