Dermatology splits into medical (acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer screening), surgical (Mohs surgery, excisions), and cosmetic (lasers, injectables) subspecialties — not every practice covers all three. Board certification from the American Board of Dermatology requires a separate dermatology residency beyond general medical training. Browse dermatologists in your city, read patient reviews, and contact offices directly.
Finding a dermatologist shouldn’t mean waiting six months or settling for whoever had an open slot on a referral app.
Dermatologists cover a wide range of clinical focuses. Filter by sub-specialty so the practice you call actually treats your concern.
Fonteum surfaces practice contact info — not insurance contracts. Call the practice and confirm in-network status with your specific plan before scheduling.
Lead time varies sharply across dermatologists. Some practices schedule new-patient intakes in days, others in months. Ask before assuming any cadence.
Active U.S. dermatologists as recorded in the public CMS NPI Registry. Density figures use the U.S. Census 2024 Vintage state population estimates. Counts and rankings are reproducible from the dataset linked below.
Practice Address state used. Mailing Address ignored. Records flagged inactive in NPPES are filtered before anything renders.
Active dermatologists per 100,000 residents, against the U.S. Census 2024 Vintage population. Quartile bands are explicit; the underserved threshold is named.
Density alone is not access — travel time, insurance acceptance, and sub-specialty match matter too. The methodology cites the spatial-access literature for follow-up reading.
Enter your city and what brings you in — acne, rosacea, mole screening, eczema, a cosmetic concern, or a general check-up. The more context you give, the better the match to a specialist.

A ranked list of dermatologists actively practicing in your area. No out-of-area practices padded in, no sponsored filler. Every provider shown has real Google reviews and a complete profile.

Read their training, see their specialties, check their patient reviews. Some providers focus on medical dermatology; others specialize in cosmetic procedures or pediatric skin. Find the right match.

Contact the practice directly. No lead form, no call center, no referral gatekeeper. Most listed providers accept new patients — check individual profiles for availability and insurance acceptance.

From the first worry to the first appointment — we try to make the part in between as frictionless as possible.
We cover 197 US cities. Here are a few to start.
“The dermatologist who takes a full history before touching a lesion is the one worth the wait.”
A plain-English guide to finding a dermatologist — what to ask at the first appointment, how to tell medical derm from aesthetic derm, and how to navigate insurance and out-of-pocket costs.
Fonteum does not verify provider credentials. We surface source-cited fields where they exist and tell you exactly which authority publishes them — so you always have a path to confirm at the source.
Active license + disciplinary history are matters of state record. Look up the provider on the state medical board's lookup tool before booking.
Confirm board certification through ABMS (abms.org) or the AOA — not the practice's marketing copy.
The federal NPPES registry publishes NPI, taxonomy, and practice address. Fonteum cites this record when matched; you can verify it directly at npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov.
Certification in dermatology is granted by the American Board of Dermatology after completing residency and passing written and oral exams. The directory does not assert certification on behalf of listed providers — confirm certification status directly via the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) database or the ABD public directory before booking.
We list dermatologists active on Google Business in each city and order results primarily by real Google rating and review volume. We don’t sell ranking placement and don’t accept payment to move a provider up the list. Always verify credentials and insurance acceptance directly with the practice.
Nothing. Browsing, searching, and contacting providers is entirely free. We don’t run lead forms, pop-ups, or referral widgets. The directory exists to help you find a dermatologist, not to monetize your search.
Insurance acceptance varies by practice and plan. Each provider profile links to their website where you can find accepted insurance information. We recommend calling the practice directly to confirm in-network status before your appointment.
A dermatologist is a physician (MD or DO) with specialized training in skin, hair, and nail conditions. A medspa is a cosmetic facility that may employ nurse practitioners, PAs, or aestheticians. For medical concerns — suspicious lesions, rashes, chronic conditions — a dermatologist whose certification you have confirmed on the American Board of Dermatology directory is the appropriate provider.
We’re expanding market by market. If your city isn’t in the directory yet, it means we haven’t onboarded providers there yet. Browse nearby cities or check back as we add new markets on a rolling basis.
No. We’re a directory. When you contact a provider, you go directly to their practice — we don’t capture your information and sell it to competing offices. That’s the model we were built specifically to avoid.
Skin, read carefully. Start with the right provider.
Find a dermatologist in your cityWhen a practice profile cites the federal NPI record, the chip shows “Source: CMS NPPES” with a freshness stamp. When a CMS PECOS Medicare-enrollment record matches, a second chip surfaces. Fields without a public-record match show no chip — so an unbadged field never implies a credential check we have not performed.
