What Chapel Hill Dermatology does

Chapel Hill Dermatology, P.A. is a private dermatology practice headquartered at 891 Willow Drive, Suite 1 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, delivering medical and cosmetic skin care services since 1969. The practice operates from a single physical clinic and serves patients of all ages — pediatric, adolescent, and adult — across a broad clinical surface spanning more than 300 skin diseases and conditions. Medical services include acne and eczema treatment, psoriasis management, skin cancer diagnosis and treatment (including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma), Mohs micrographic surgery performed by a fellowship-trained surgeon, photodynamic therapy, biologics and topical medications, skin biopsies and excisions, mole removal, and full-body skin examinations. Cosmetic and aesthetic services include Botox and Dysport injections, hyaluronic acid facial fillers (Juvederm and Restylane families), Lumecca IPL photofacial, Fractora radiofrequency skin rejuvenation, laser hair removal, Latisse eyelash enhancement, and treatment for brown spots, wrinkles, and spider veins.

The business model is a hybrid fee-for-service and elective cash-pay practice. Medical dermatology is billed through accepted insurance carriers (Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Tricare, Humana, MedCost, among others) with self-pay responsibility falling to uninsured or out-of-network patients on the day of visit. Cosmetic procedures are predominantly out-of-pocket and not insurance-reimbursable; the practice has partnered with Sunbit to provide pay-over-time financing for both medical and cosmetic services. Patient acquisition runs primarily through word-of-mouth referrals, local SEO, and community reputation, reinforced by 14 consecutive years of winning INDY's "Best Dermatologist" in the Triangle award and a 4.8-star Google rating across 1,303 reviews. The practice is an affiliate of DOCS Dermatology, a larger dermatology group, which provides access to shared clinical resources and broader specialty expertise while Chapel Hill Dermatology retains its local Chapel Hill brand identity and provider team (Dr. Jarett Casale DO, Dr. Mark S. Fradin MD, Traci Long PA, and Dr. Nicholas A. Ross MD FAAD).
