Dermatology

The University of Kansas Health System offers expert care for common, rare and complex conditions of the skin. Our board-certified physicians and surgeons are focused on excellence in dermatologic treatment.

As part of an academic medical center, patients and care teams have access to the most advanced, evidence-based care for the diagnosis and management of complex dermatologic diseases. At each visit, you'll benefit from multiple levels of evaluation because you are seen by both faculty and resident physicians. The combination of research, education and experience makes a high level of care possible.

Diseases of the skin affect everyone from newborns to adults. A dermatologist is a doctor who is specifically trained to diagnose and treat skin disorders. This includes conditions that may affect the skin and hair. Dermatology physicians and surgeons at The University of Kansas Health System diagnose and treat common, rare and complex conditions of the skin, including skin cancer.
