“What I find most rewarding about being a dermatologist is the ability to lessen the suffering associated with chronic skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It makes such a huge improvement in quality of life when a patient has less rash and itching to deal with. I also love helping patients feel better about their appearance by treating conditions that make them self-conscious, like severe acne or wrinkled, sun-damaged skin. I enjoy watching them become more self-confident over time as the health of their skin improves.”
