Board-certified children’s dermatologists

The pediatric dermatology staff at Children's also are on the faculty of the Medical College of Wisconsin. They work with and help train medical students as well as residents in dermatology and pediatrics. Since Children's is a teaching institution, these doctors in training will be involved with your child's care. You can rest assured knowing that board-certified dermatologists will always supervise care.

What happens at a visit in our pediatric Dermatology Program?

When you bring your child to the first visit, you will see a pediatric dermatologist. You may also see a resident physician, physician assistant or a nurse. Our team will get a complete medical history and perform a physical exam. If the dermatologist thinks it's necessary, he or she may order blood tests or treatments on the same day.

Once your child's dermatologist has reviewed the medical history and studied results of the physical exam and test results, he or she will develop a treatment plan and discuss the details with your family. This may take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the problem.
