Getting the Best Dermatologist is Easy By Following These Simple Steps

By Trudy Fox


Paying attention to your skin is very important in today's young and beauty obsessed society. When you look good you also feel good and you are more confident which affects all aspects of your life. A good skin care regime is a good thing to shoot for. However, you need to find a good dermatologist to assist you in achieving your goal especially if you have skin problems that over the counter creams and medicines don't seem to fix. The following are a few ways in which you can find a good dermatologist.

Ask referrals from your friends and family. They might have had skin problems and needed the services of a dermatologist at some point in their lives. If their experience with that dermatologist was stellar, they will readily give the referral to you. That way, you also get first hand information and see the result of the work done on them by that dermatologist.

If you can't get referral from friends and family, search the classified ads and/or go online. The classified section of newspapers, magazines and the like lists services in various categories. That way, you can find a dermatologist near you. The Internet is also a very good source to find almost any service available.

Do a research on the ones you find online. Just type in their names in the search engine and look for some reviews from patients they've treated. There are many sites that focus on physicians and doctors where patients leave their feedback and rate them. That would be most helpful to your search. Sites like Yelp and Google+ are also a good source of reviews.

Next do a Comparative study. After you come up with a list of names, you then need to shortlist them until you are down to just about a handful of options. From that list, you can further narrow down the selection by doing a comparative study of the various dermatologists in your final list. You can take into account, factors such as the number of years they have been in service, the cost of treatment, proximity and a few other factors that you might be interested in.

Have a one-on-one visitation with the dermatologists you have shortlisted. That way, you get to interview them, get to know them. Although this may be expensive, what's important is you end up with the dermatologist that you can easily get along with, has the experience, totally capable, and has a good track record.
