“The University of Pennsylvania Department of Dermatology has an outstanding and longstanding research mission. We were one of the first research institutions for dermatology in the nation,” explains Misha Rosenbach, MD. Since it was created in 1874, Penn Medicine’s Department of Dermatology has made several historical breakthroughs such as the development of Retin-A for acne as well as many other cutting-edge treatments that are still being developed. Penn Medicine prides itself on its ability to identify, diagnose, and treat even the most complicated and unique skin diseases and disorders successfully including Extrammary Pagent’s disease; a disease so rare that few individuals (including doctors) are even aware of its existence. Another one of Penn Dermatology’s missions to further advance through education. Penn Medicine carefully selects their clinical faculty based not only on their ability to take care of patients, but also for their passion and commitment to teaching and giving back to the next generation. George Cotsarelis, MD said that Penn Dermatology’s ability to work together as a team to help patients in the best way possible is their greatest strength. Penn prides itself on its ability to offer personalized care to each patient so that they know exactly which test to order for them to help diagnose and treat their condition. “The people I work with bring a certain amount of energy and passion to what they do and that translates to the type of patient care that we offer. It makes going to work everyday an exciting and humbling experience,” says Sara Samimi, MD. Ellen Kim, MD followed up by stating, “It’s tremendously rewarding and those experiences make me grateful that I chose to be a doctor.” For more information about Penn Dermatology visit: http://bit.ly/2ghPCnx Like us: https://www.facebook.com/PennMed Tweet us: https://twitter.com/PennMedicine Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/PennMedicine
