About Us

"After numerous unsuccessful attempts to address my son's adolescent acne using over-the-counter products, I was referred to Dr. Derick. After being advised on the range of treatment options available, we initially began my son's treatment with topicals and antibiotics. This approach resulted in some improvement, but unfortunately when the course of treatment was completed, the acne returned. I knew that Accutane was available as a next option, but I was apprehensive about potential side effects of the drug. Dr. Derick was extremely understanding about my concerns and spent considerable time explaining the risk factors and side effects. Dr. Derick's extensive experience with Accutane for treating patients with similar acne conditions, together with her knowledge of the drug's effectiveness and risks, played a very important role in our decision to start my son on a 5 month Accutane (generic) treatment.

Every month, through the course of treatment, Dr. Derick checked blood work for irregular levels and monitored my son's progress. After 3 month's there was noticeable improvement in my son's condition and at the end of the 5th month, my son's acne had been completely eliminated. Months later, he continues to be acne-free. At the end of the day, Accutane was very effective in bringing my son's acne to an end and all of the related self-esteem issues that it brings on for an adolescent. Of equal importance, was the role that Dr. Derick played in the decision to use this drug, which may not be the right option for everyone. I commend Dr. Derick for her excellent "bedside manner" and highly recommend Derick Dermatology to anyone in need of a competent dermatologist." "All my life I have dealt with an inherited disease that causes dry, scaly skin. Each dermatologist I went to prescribed a different moisturizer but the most they did was alleviate the dryness. Dr. Derick diagnosed the problem immediately and prescribed an over-the-counter lotion containing lactic acid. Within one month, the scaliness was gone-just in time for shorts season! Thank you, Dr. Derick." "My Rosacea reappeared after being dormant for about 10 years. I came to Derick Dermatology for treatment and as I had hoped. I feel cured (hopefully for another decade). I couldn't be happier about it. Thank you." "I have suffered from having an embarrassing red face for years. The Vbeam has been amazing after one treatment my friends have noticed a big difference. I no longer have broken veins or redness. I have more confidence and would highly recommend the treatment." "I was referred to Derick Dermatology by two separate relatives that had procedures both medical and cosmetic with positive outcomes. My experience has been better than expected with results I thought would come with 5 treatments, not just one. There are no questions that have gone unanswered and every detail explained. I look forward to working with this office and staff now and in the future." "Four years ago my husband had a serious stroke. He now spends a good part of his day in bed and has developed bleeding upon sores on his elbows, and also Psoriasis. My family doctor tried numerous ointments. Finally, I came to Dr. Derick, she said vinegar and water every few hours and spray ointment. He was cured in two weeks. Thank you for making my husband’s life easier!" "Dermatology is very important to me due to my skin and red hair. Derick Dermatology is the most professional medical office I have ever been in. From front door to leaving, everything is organized. Amy Derick is by far the most professional Dermatologist I have seen in my 68 years." "I am very pleased with the results of my Juvederm treatment. I appreciated the calm explanations and reassurances Angela gave me. Thank you Dr. Derick, for giving me a less hollow look below my eyes and making me look less tired and much brighter!" "I have always disliked the feeling of a make-up base on my face. IPL makes it possible to use a much lighter make-up, or not! The results were fantastic and those dark spots have disappeared." "I’ve been using Obagi products for only 6 weeks and I can’t be happier! Obagi has cleared my skin so much from sun damage spots to blackheads. That is amazing! I don’t have to cover up anymore. I can finally use very light make-up and look great. Thank you, Dr. Derick and Angela, for your recommendation." "I would just like to say thanks for making my first visit to a dermatologist an outstanding experience. It started with the initial contact with Sean on the phone and ended with a successful appointment with Dr. Derick. Everyone that I came in contact with on my visit made it an enjoyable experience. The staff is very personable, informed and considerate. (one of the best) Thanks again." "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." "I would like to express what a wonderful experience I had, from the front staff, to Mercedes, Laura and of course Dr. Derick. The office is beautiful and run so efficiently. I cannot express how impressed I was. I fully understand what it takes to have that "WOW" factor, and you have more than attained it! You are definitely at the top of my referral list." "Once I decided that I wanted a more youthful appearance, my next decision was my choice of a dermatologist. I chose Dr. Derick based on her academic excellence, years of experience, and up to date knowledge of cosmetic fillers.

Dr. Derick and staff treated me courteously and compassionately. I was particularly impressed by the fact that a dermatological intern was in attendance at my appointment. Only the best doctors are allowed to guide new doctors. Dr. Derick explained my options, and allowed me the time to ask questions.

I was truly in awe of the results of Dr. Derick's work. My before/after photos clearly demonstrate that I lost over ten years in a matter of minutes. Excellence, expertise, and empathy are the best words to describe my visit to Dr. Derick!" "I felt that I was well informed and prepared for the laser resurfacing procedure. The staff made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I followed the aftercare instructions provided to me, and healed very quickly with a minimal amount of down time." "My experience with Derick Dermatology has been wonderful and I was very pleased with the results from my cosmetic procedure. Dr. Derick and her staff are very dedicated to their patients, and I achieved exactly what I was looking for. It's amazing how a small procedure can do wonders for how you look and feel. I recommend Dr. Derick to all of my friends and family!" "I can't tell you how professional and efficient Amy and her staff are. I'm always comfortable and relaxed when I visit. Any procedure that I've experienced has gone smoothly." "I would like to thank you for helping me clear my skin, a long time goal of mine. Now I can leave the house make-up free and confident. I never dreamed I would get so many compliments on my skin... all thanks to you."
