UConn Health Dermatology Experts

At UConn Health, our expert dermatology team offers cutting-edge surgical and non-surgical procedures to care for your skin condition in a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment.

Stopping Skin Cancer Before It Starts

We’re here to help you stay on top of your skin health. That’s why our recommendations include regular skin checks, especially if you’re at high-risk for skin cancer. If your doctor believes skin cancer screening is right for you, you’re in good hands with the region’s leading experts — and some of today’s most sophisticated technologies, like total body imaging that can monitor and track your skin changes.

Finding skin cancer in its earliest stages is key to a successful outcome. In collaboration with the Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center, we offer complete care for melanoma. 

Skin Cancer Screening

Caring for Your Largest Organ

Your skin is the largest organ of your body, and we are here to care for every inch of it. Our board-certified team has deep expertise in subspecialties like pediatric dermatology, psoriasis, and Mohs surgery, which means you can receive comprehensive care that is tailored to your needs. As an academic medical center, we conduct research and offer clinical trials that bring you the latest treatments and breakthroughs for your skin condition.
