Arlington Dermatology

What Arlington Dermatology does

Arlington Dermatology is an independently owned dermatology and primary care practice headquartered at 5301 Keystone Court in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, serving the northwest suburbs of Chicago and drawing patients from Wisconsin, Indiana, and Iowa. Founded around 1980 and operating for over 40 years, the practice delivers medical dermatology (acne, eczema, psoriasis, skin cancer, and 30+ other conditions), cosmetic procedures (BOTOX, DermaPen, IPL, V-Beam, Spectrum Laser, PALLAS UVB Laser, Photodynamic Therapy), skin cancer treatment including Mohs micrographic surgery, and family medicine/primary care. It also conducts FDA-regulated Phase II-IV clinical trials as a research site and retails a line of medical-grade skincare products.

The practice is built around two board-certified physicians (Dr. Michael Bukhalo in dermatology/Mohs surgery and Dr. Christopher Rivard in family medicine), five to six NCCPA-certified physician assistants, a licensed esthetician, and dedicated clinical research and billing staff. Clinical differentiation rests on a state-of-the-art laser equipment stack, including a multi-platform Spectrum Laser with four laser types and the PALLAS UVB Laser, and on an FDA-inspected clinical research infrastructure (17 exam rooms, four dedicated to surgery and four to research, plus ECG, -20°C freezer, centrifuge, incubator) that has run 250+ trials and enrolled 2,000+ patients since 2005, contributing to FDA approvals of Taltz, Skyrizi, Stelara, and Dupixent.

Revenue is generated from five streams: insurance-billed medical dermatology visits, self-pay cosmetic procedures, insurance-billed primary care, sponsor-funded clinical trial grants/stipends, and retail skincare product sales. The practice accepts most major insurance (Medicare, Medicare Advantage, HMO, PPO) while cosmetic procedures are paid out of pocket at time of service. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer appointment-based scheduling by phone and online, supplemented by community events (wellness fairs, skin cancer screenings) and a multi-lingual staff (English, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, Polish, Korean). The practice is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investment, funding rounds, or satellite locations.
