Patient Testimonials
Dr. Derick and her staff are amazing! They take the time to answer any questions I may have and they explain all the procedures clearly. I am not a big fan of needles, but for some reason, the needles are not as scary at Dr. Derick's office. I love the way I look after an office visit, which makes me feel great! I will continue to recommend all my friends to Derick Dermatology.
