How Do You Choose a Dermatologist?

Last reviewed: May 2026 · Haute MD Editorial Team

Choosing a dermatologist starts with verifying board certification by the American Board of Dermatology (ABD) — which requires completing a four-year residency and passing comprehensive examinations. Beyond credentials, look for a dermatologist with specific experience in your area of concern (cosmetic dermatology, skin cancer, hair loss), positive patient reviews, and clear communication.

Medical vs. cosmetic dermatology

If you have a medical skin condition (skin cancer, eczema, psoriasis, hair loss), prioritize a dermatologist with strong medical credentials and experience with your specific condition. If you are seeking cosmetic treatments (Botox, fillers, laser), look for a dermatologist with significant cosmetic training and a robust treatment portfolio.

Credentials to verify

Board certification by the American Board of Dermatology is the baseline standard. Fellowship training in a subspecialty (Mohs surgery, dermatopathology, cosmetic dermatology) indicates advanced expertise. Membership in the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) is another positive indicator.

Questions to ask at your first visit

What is your experience with my specific condition? What treatments do you offer and why do you recommend this approach? What results can I realistically expect? How do you handle complications?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a board-certified dermatologist and one who is not?

Board certification confirms the physician has completed accredited dermatology residency training and passed rigorous written and practical examinations. Non-board-certified physicians may not have equivalent training.

Can a non-dermatologist perform cosmetic procedures like Botox and fillers?

Yes. Botox and fillers are performed by various practitioners including plastic surgeons, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and medical spas. However, a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon with extensive experience provides the highest level of safety and expertise.

What is a cosmetic dermatologist?

A cosmetic dermatologist is a board-certified dermatologist who has additional training in aesthetic procedures including injectables, lasers, energy devices, and skin rejuvenation. They combine medical expertise with cosmetic specialization.
