Four Things To Look for In a Dermatologist

When you’re selecting a dermatologist, you shouldn’t just pick anyone. Not only should you select the doctor who is going to meet your skincare needs, but you should also vet your dermatologists based on a number of different factors that go beyond just being able to treat you. What you’re building is a professional relationship that will last years, so you want to make sure your Colorado dermatologist goes above and beyond.

At K2 Dermatology, we understand how important it is to choose the right dermatologist. Here are the four things you should consider when you’re selecting a dermatologist to treat your skin. And if you're ready to upgrade to K2 Dermatology, we’re always standing by.

Board Certification

Ensuring that the dermatologist you select is board certified is essential as they have met the highest standards of training and qualification. Board certification is voluntary and proves that the dermatologist has the knowledge and experience to perform effectively in the field of dermatology.

Experience

Consider the type of experience the dermatologist has with the condition you need to be treated. Ask them how long they have been practicing and what type of treatments they specialize in. For example, if you deal with chronic acne, it’s important to work with a dermatologist who specializes in acne and knows to prescribe the correct topicals or oral medications. Some medications, such as Accutane, will require consistent monitoring by your dermatologist as well, so ensure you find a dermatologist who can meet all of your needs.

Reputation

The reputation of your dermatologist is also a factor. We highly recommend you consider reviews as well as seek referrals from friends or family. Read online reviews and testimonials to get a better idea of the quality of care and customer service the dermatologist provides.

Insurance

Finally, there’s insurance: does your preferred dermatologist take your insurance? At K2 Dermatology, we take a number of insurance plans, as well as payment options. Working with a dermatologist who won’t force you to bear the burden of a specialist visit without insurance is important.

Taking the time to research and find the right dermatologist for your needs is an important part of achieving healthy, beautiful skin. If you’re in the Boulder, Colorado, area and are ready for a change, reach out to K2 Dermatology today.
