Dermatology Center for Skin Health
Your skin is your body's largest organ, and it working nonstop to take care of you. The skin protects other organs, regulates body temperature, and reflects your overall health. For all it does for you, your skin deserves the expert care of a medical specialist. Our goal is to provide only the highest quality, compassionate care for patients requiring dermatologic care. The promotion of patient comfort and quality care is the objective of our policies and procedures. Many of the rules and policies of the practice are intended to build patient confidence in the physician and the staff. A strong doctor-patient relationship is necessary if the patient is to receive the full benefit of the physician's services. The patient must feel that he/she can talk freely to the doctor and staff, that the doctor and staff are knowledgeable and conscientious, and that the practice is well managed. Only if these attitudes prevail will the patient be likely to take the doctor's advice and do his/her share in following through with treatment. The staff plays an important role in building this confidence by being cheerful, friendly, tactful, neat, industrious, and efficient. Michele Maouad, M.D. is a board certified dermatology and dermatological surgeon. She earned her Bachelor's Degree at the State University of New York of Buffalo in 1992 and a Master's Degree in Physiology and Biophysics at Georgetown University followed by one year of research in the Department of Cardiovascular Services. She acquired her Doctorate of Medicine at West Virginia University in 1999 and was admitted to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center ( UPMC ) for residency in Dermatology. In 2003, she became Chief Resident of Dermatology at West Virginia University Hospitals. Upon the completion of two years under a board certified dermatologist, Dr. Maouad decided to establish her own practice. The Dermatology Center for Skin Health opened in August 2005 where Dr. Maouad is the sole physician. In addition to her degrees and skills, her priorities rank among the best. She believes in giving her patients top care by examining their current and pre-existing conditions and assuring accurate diagnosis. It is imperative to Dr. Maouad and her staff that patients feel they've received the best possible care when leaving her office.
