All diseases of the skin, including acne, skin tumors, psoriasis, and severe atopic dermatitis, are treated by the Department of Dermatology, which serves as a regional center for treating dermatological disorders. The department holds regular outpatient clinics at Children's Hospital, Cooper Green Hospital, UAB Hospital, and The Kirklin Clinic for patients with difficult dermatological disorders. The department offers a surgical MOH's team.
The Kirklin Clinic, pictured at right, has as one of its greatest advantages the presence of general practitioners and specialists from all fields. This unique mix of disciplines makes it easy for physicians to collaborate on diagnoses and treatments.
