Las Colinas Dermatology
Dr. Alison Black founded Las Colinas Dermatology in 1995 to provide comprehensive medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatologic care to patients in Las Colinas, Irving, Coppell, and the surrounding areas of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

Our practice focuses on meeting the dermatologic needs of the entire family. This can include treating eczema and warts in children, acne in teens and adults, and rashes, skin cancer and signs of aging and sun damage in adults. We believe strongly in educating patients about their condition, prevention, and treatment. We are continually attending conferences and incorporating new procedures, techniques, and medical grade skin care products to offer our patients the most up-to-date care.
