Atlantic Dermatology Associates, P.C.

Atlantic Dermatology was founded in 1977 by Maryland native Dr. Thomas Krop, a Harvard-educated dermatologist who loved our area enough to grow his practice in Virginia Beach. At that time, Atlantic Dermatology was one of only three dermatology clinics in the city.
As Dr. Krop and his team of dermatologists provided superior skin care to military and civilian families throughout Hampton Roads, they quickly established themselves as trusted partners to referring physicians.
The practice continued to grow in patients as well as board certified dermatologists and today is one of the premier dermatology clinics serving families and individuals in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Hampton Roads, the Eastern Shore, and Outer Banks, N.C. Dr. Krop retired in 2011, but his professionalism, compassion, and vision lives on at our dermatology clinic.
