Skin Care Doctors

What Skin Care Doctors does

Skin Care Doctors, P.A. is a privately held dermatology practice operating six clinic locations across the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and central Minnesota, including Burnsville, Wayzata, Edina, Orono, Maplewood, Eagan, and Sartell/St. Cloud. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Burnsville, MN, the practice delivers both medical and cosmetic dermatology services to a consumer patient base. The clinical team includes board-certified dermatologists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners with combined experience exceeding 40 years, anchored by named providers Anastasios Pappas, MD; Nadine Miller, PA-C; Kristin Anderson, FNP-C; and Hazel Rogers, PA-C.

The practice's service portfolio spans roughly 25 dermatology treatments built on medical device technology including intense pulsed light (IPL) systems, fractional laser resurfacing equipment, BLU-U blue light photodynamic therapy (Model 4170), narrowband UVB phototherapy, and advanced injectables (BOTOX, Dysport, JUVÉDERM, Restylane, Sculptra, KYBELLA). Mohs micrographic surgery is offered with a reported up to 99% cure rate for certain skin cancers. Resurfacing and restoration services include microneedling, chemical peels, facials, dermaplaning, Diamond Glow, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair restoration. Retail skincare products (EltaMD sunscreens, LATISSE) supplement clinical revenue.

Skin Care Doctors operates on a fee-for-service professional services revenue model split between insurance-reimbursed medical dermatology and self-pay cosmetic dermatology. Patients access care via direct-to-consumer channels: in-person appointments scheduled through the NextPatient online portal, by phone, or via website contact form; insurance is accepted across major Minnesota payers (Medicare, Medicaid, BCBS MN, Health Partners, Humana, Medica, Preferred One, Tricare, United Healthcare); and self-pay cosmetic patients can access interest-free financing through a partnership with Advance Care Card dating to 2008. Public-facing facial pricing ranges from $80 (30-minute express) to $200 (90-minute premium), while most medical and procedural pricing is quote-based. The firm employs 101-250 staff and has no disclosed funding history, parent company, or public listing.
