Medical Dermatology Services

Skin Cancer Screening

Regular skin examinations are an essential part of maintaining long-term skin health, especially for patients with a history of sun exposure. Our expert providers perform thorough full-body skin exams to help identify suspicious lesions early. If needed, a skin biopsy can be performed in our office. We also educate patients on sun protection and how to recognize early warning signs of melanoma and other skin cancers.

Acne Treatments

Acne can significantly affect confidence and daily life, including social and professional interactions. At Dermatology Associates of Ithaca, we take a personalized approach to acne care. Treatment plans are tailored to each patient and may include topical therapies, oral medications, or other medical treatments based on individual skin needs.

Psoriasis and Eczema

Psoriasis and eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, are common inflammatory skin conditions that can have a meaningful impact on quality of life. We offer a wide range of treatment options including topical medications, oral therapies, light therapy, and for more severe cases, advanced injectable or oral treatments.

Contact Dermatitis and Patch Testing

While many patients experience eczema due to an inherited or overactive immune response, some dermatitis is caused by an allergic reaction to a substance that comes into contact with the skin. Identifying the allergen is key to managing the condition. We offer comprehensive patch testing to help determine the cause of contact dermatitis so patients can avoid triggers and, in many cases, significantly improve or resolve symptoms.

Narrowband UVB Phototherapy

For patients with psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, or chronic itch that has not responded to topical treatments, narrowband UVB phototherapy may be an effective option. This treatment involves short, supervised light exposure sessions performed two to three times per week in our clinic. Therapy is closely monitored by our trained staff and expert providers.

Other Dermatologic Conditions

Our providers are trained to diagnose and treat thousands of skin conditions, from common concerns such as acne and warts to complex medical dermatology and skin cancer. We apply the latest medical knowledge and clinical experience to deliver care tailored to your unique skin needs.

Karen F.

I went for a facial with Reganne, and it was wonderful! She was the right balance of chatty and quiet so that I felt personally welcomed but also able to relax and soak in all the luxurious treatment. She also was so kind and considerate, being very careful which products she used because she knew I am sensitive to some fragrances. I scheduled my appointment for the end of my regular work week, and now, this evening I’m feeling fabulous!

RJ and MJ Olson

We both chose the practice for our dermatology well checks and any issues that may be discovered during those visits. Most of the practitioners have been great. I also enjoy the facial services they offer at the practice. Both estheticians I have seen there have been wonderful! They have both been very accommodating given multiple allergies that can make my skin reactive. I look forward to my time with the esthetician.

Cathy Robinson

The entire staff is courteous and very helpful. They were right on time. They work together well. They are accepting of questions and are willing to answer the questions. They offer reminders for follow up appointments. I am very pleased to be a patient of this office.

Susan Zeller

As a new patient I greatly appreciated getting an appointment with a few days of submitting my application form instead of a long wait. The staff at the front desk were very pleasant, efficient and helpful in making this happen. The service I received from my doctor was good.

Tom

David M was great in all key areas that were important to me. Skill, bedside manner, updates during the surgery and his summary after the procedure. His nurse was also first rate. Thank you both for all that you did for me. NP Donna has treated me previously at this practice and I echo my comments here for her and the nurses, reception and scheduling employees. Thank you all for a great experience

Jennifer Gemmell

This was the most pleasant doctors appointment I’ve ever experienced. The wait wasn’t too long and there were so many beautiful and interesting things to look at while I was there: beautiful art well presented with identification and background details, fascinating terrariums and other plants, and even an Asian meditation garden. Dr. Macallister was very personable, professional and thorough. I was quite happy with her care. The staff too, were professional and pleasant.

Reece W

Saw Donna and Megan, had a concerning spot on my face. I needed an injection and they put me eat ease and really helped me to feel comfortable and relaxed. Even though the needle stung a little bit I was completely distracted with easy conversation to keep my mind off of what was going on. They were incredibly reassuring and informative and I love going to see them! Thank you Donna and Megan for a quick and easy visit! :)

Don Wood

Great experience from the time I arrived for the appointment til I was finished. Donna Brigham is the most professional specailist I've seen in quite some time. She is very good at explaining everything in layman's terms. Her bedside manner puts you at ease and makes you very comfortable with the procedures she is doing.
