Clinical research, education, and community service also defines us. We believe strongly in giving back to the profession, community, and family that means so much to us. By staying involved in educational activities such as giving presentations to colleagues nationally and internationally, and providing free community seminars, we hope we give back in some small way. Serving the homeless population who have no access to medical care, supporting the women of domestic violence, and the children with dermatologic conditions and those with cleft palates is also a very important part of who we are.

We take great care in providing you with personalized, virtually painless procedures, with superior quality service in an ambient and serene atmosphere. Our patients serve as our best source of referrals. Everyone is an elite member—a VIP when they are cared for by Elite MD. Elite is 2 MDs, 1 team, dedicated to you.

We know you have a choice in choosing your doctor. Thank you for considering us as your skin care specialists for life. We look forward to the opportunity to serve your individual needs.
