I cannot live without holistically caring for patients and making a significant impact on their lives. The gift of practicing dermatology allows for detecting skin cancers, diagnosing difficult life-altering rashes, and enhancing the appearance of patients. As a result of this, I am grateful to improve the status of patients' health, give them a better outlook on their lives, whilst bolstering their self-esteem.

Dr Trakimas & her staff are very thorough, polite, & efficient. They even talked & presented treatment for items of my concern that are not medically necessary. Can’t wait to go back.

This is my first visit with Dr T and it was excellent. Can't say it was enjoyable as I had several treatments with the "Freeze Can" but I can deal with that for my own good. Poor habits growing up come back to visit your skin as we get older. I look forward to future appointments when I'll look better.
