Nicole M. Patzelt, MD, FAAD
Board-Certified Dermatologist
It’s especially gratifying to be able to give patients a definitive answer whether that’s a diagnosis or a treatment option they haven’t tried yet. Many have been searching for answers for a long time before they get to see a dermatologist and to be able to give someone peace of mind is especially rewarding.
