The Dermatology Center of Plano specializes in the evaluation and management of common skin problems for children, from birth to 18 years of age. We recognize the unique developmental and physiologic aspects of infants, children and adolescents, and design treatments specific to their developmental and physical needs.

Our doctors places a strong emphasis on educating children and their families about skin disease, and the prevention of permanent cosmetic disability is stressed.
