About Our Practice

Every visit, you will be evaluated, treated and cared for by a board certified dermatologist or our highly trained doctor of nursing practice. Both Dr. Trowbridge and Dr. Kuechle have extensive academic and clinical training, have completed a 3 year residency in dermatology, and passed the exam given by the American Board of Dermatology to achieve their certification.

Medical Dermatology Specialists

As one of the largest and only outward-facing organ of the human body, the skin is susceptible to all manner of bumps, diseases, discolorations, growths, and damage. Our Board Certified doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants can help you with the general care and upkeep of your skin.

We diagnose skin cancers and provide highly effective surgical and non-surgical treatments to remove cancerous growths. Using advanced techniques, we take care to minimize the risk of recurrence and leave as little scarring as possible.
