ABRY-backed Dermatology Associates Rebrands as U.S. Dermatology Partners

2/26/17

Dermatology Associates, a premier provider of dermatology care, today announced it has rebranded as U.S. Dermatology Partners, unifying all locations and services within its family of practices for the first time. With a focus on medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology as well as Mohs micrographic surgery for the removal skin cancer, the unification under one singular brand underlines its commitment to patient care, providing more communities convenient access to the highest quality, safest, and most effective dermatology care available. Through this collaboration, U.S. Dermatology Partners is now the largest physician-owned dermatology practice in Texas, Kansas, and Missouri and 3rd largest in the country.

The ever-changing medical landscape is driving the need for unification and systems integration. U.S. Dermatology Partners offers physicians resources and expertise not available to smaller practices. Providers still enjoy the ability to operate autonomously and make all clinical decisions, with the additional support of: management, human resources, physician recruiting, compliance, information technology, marketing, payor relations, and financial support. The physicians and locations are integrated on the same electronic health system so a patient’s care is coordinated no matter which location they visit.

Additionally, U.S. Dermatology Partners has created a medical advisory board focused on identifying clinical improvement opportunities, new guidelines, and the latest in treatment options for diseases of the skin as an ongoing effort to provide the best patient care possible.

“We are excited to rebrand as U.S. Dermatology Partners and the opportunities this will provide our patients and physicians,” said Geoff Wayne, CEO of U.S. Dermatology Partners. “The operational support of a larger organization will enable our physicians to focus even more on what they do best – care for our patients. Working together as a network of experts allows for better coordinated care, and our growing footprint means we will collectively be able to provide needed access and convenience to quality dermatology care for more patients.”

U.S. Dermatology Partners is growing by partnering with existing practices and hiring new physician team members and has grown to over 80 physicians in 58 locations in just over three years. To provide the highest level of care to its patients, the U.S. Dermatology Partners team is made up of physicians who have trained at some of the top treatment centers in the country, and includes recognized national leaders in the subspecialties of psoriasis and Mohs surgery.
