Derick Dermatology

What Derick Dermatology does

Derick Dermatology is a privately held, multi-location dermatology practice founded in 2006 by Dr. Amy Derick and headquartered in Elgin, Illinois. The group operates 23 clinic sites across the Chicago metropolitan area (19 locations spanning Arlington Heights to Bolingbrook to Skokie) and the Tampa Bay, Florida region (4 locations including Wesley Chapel, Riverview, Near USF, and Westshore), serving adult and pediatric patients with integrated medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. Core services span diagnostic and therapeutic medical dermatology (acne, eczema, skin cancer screening), surgical dermatology (Mohs Micrographic Surgery, skin cancer excision, in-house dermatopathology), and cosmetic treatments (Botox, Juvederm fillers, laser hair removal via Candela GentleMax, Vbeam for facial redness, Fraxel Dual resurfacing, CoolSculpting body contouring, tattoo removal, Latisse), with Superficial Radiation Therapy (SRT) offered at select sites for non-surgical skin cancer management.

Revenue derives from patient visit fees across the three service lines, with insurance payments covering medical and surgical services (Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, Medicare, most commercial PPO plans, and Exchange-based PPO plans) and largely cash-pay economics in the cosmetic segment. The practice employs 251-500 staff including 60+ clinical providers (board-certified dermatologists, Mohs surgeons, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners) and runs a direct-to-consumer go-to-market: patients self-schedule online or via phone at (866) 337-4251, with same-day and Saturday appointments marketed as key access differentiators. Growth has come through geographic expansion, with 2024 marking the inaugural Florida footprint.

Founder/Medical Director Amy Derick (trained at the Pritzker School of Medicine and University of Chicago Hospital) remains the operating leader, with a CTO (Chris Nichols) overseeing the limited disclosed technology stack of online scheduling, patient portal, and MyPatientVisit online bill-pay. The practice is independently owned with no disclosed private equity or institutional backing in the source material.
