Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery

What Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery does

Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery (CDPS), doing business as CDPS, is a physician-owned private dermatology and plastic surgery practice headquartered in Paradise Valley, Arizona, and operating 10 clinic locations across the greater Phoenix metropolitan area including Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Fountain Hills, Casa Grande, and Wickenburg. Founded in 2000 by Gary McCracken MD as a dermatology-only group, the practice now employs 23 board-certified physicians and healthcare professionals (15 dermatologists, 9 physician assistants, 1 nurse practitioner, 3 fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons, and 2 plastic surgeons) and is one of the few Southwest practices to integrate medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology with reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery under a single brand.

The practice operates four core service lines: medical dermatology (acne, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, skin cancer screening, pediatric dermatology), surgical dermatology anchored by Mohs micrographic surgery with reported 99%+ five-year cure rates, cosmetic dermatology (Botox, fillers, Sciton BBL, Fraxel Dual, Vivace RF microneedling, Thermage, ThermiTight, Kybella, Clear + Brilliant, chemical peels, laser hair removal), and plastic surgery (breast augmentation, lift, reduction and reconstruction, abdominoplasty, liposuction, facelift, brow lift, blepharoplasty, rhinoplasty, fat grafting, otoplasty, chin augmentation, buttock augmentation, labiaplasty, and male breast reduction). Underlying technology is clinical rather than software-driven, centered on specialty medical devices and the Mohs technique, supported by a Modernizing Medicine patient portal and bill-pay infrastructure.

CDPS runs a direct-to-consumer go-to-market: patients self-refer or are referred by other providers, book online or by phone, and consume services in person at any of the 10 clinics. Revenue is generated through three parallel streams: insurance-billed professional fees for medical and surgical dermatology (including Mohs), out-of-pocket cash payments for cosmetic dermatology, and consultation-based pricing for plastic surgery, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The company holds no external funding, operates with no parent company or private-equity sponsor, and has received repeated Phoenix Magazine Top Docs recognition in both dermatology and plastic surgery.

Emerging players

• Ideal Image: National chain offering non-invasive aesthetic services including laser hair removal, injectables, and body contouring. Comparable cash-pay cosmetic offering, though lacks the medical dermatology depth of CDPS.
• Sono Bello: National cosmetic surgery chain specializing in body contouring and liposuction. Comparable on the cash-pay plastic surgery side of CDPS's offering, though limited overlap in dermatology.

Broad incumbents

• West Dermatology: Large multi-state dermatology group with medical, surgical, Mohs, and cosmetic services, including locations in the Southwest. Overlapping capabilities and physician practice model.
• U.S. Dermatology Partners: One of the largest PE-backed dermatology platforms in the U.S., with multiple Phoenix-area locations. Competes for physicians, patients, and referral networks with established infrastructure and capital advantages.
• Schweiger Dermatology Group: Large multi-state dermatology group offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. Comparable service mix but operates in different geographies; representative of consolidator peers.
• Forefront Dermatology: National PE-backed dermatology network providing medical, surgical, and cosmetic services across multiple states. Comparable multi-site practice model and patient offering.

Regional players

• Arizona Dermatology: Arizona-based dermatology practice group serving the Phoenix metro with medical and cosmetic dermatology. Geographic overlap with CDPS makes it a direct local competitor.

Direct peers

• Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery: National multi-location dermatology and cosmetic surgery platform offering medical derm, Mohs, and plastic surgery services — directly comparable integrated model to CDPS, albeit at much larger scale across multiple states.
• English Dermatology: Multi-location Arizona-based dermatology practice offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology. Direct competitor in the same Phoenix-area geography with overlapping service lines and patient base.
• Skin and Cancer Institute: Multi-location dermatology group with strong focus on Mohs surgery and skin cancer treatment, plus cosmetic services. Highly comparable clinical mix and physician-driven practice model.
