Current Dermatology

What Current Dermatology does

Current Dermatology is a privately-owned, full-service dermatology practice operating three office locations in western North Carolina (Sylva, Clyde, and Franklin). The practice provides general dermatology care, cancer detection and surgical services, and medical cosmetic/med spa services including chemical peels, laser hair reduction, and retail cosmetic products. The clinical team consists of one board-certified dermatologist (Dr. Currie Custer Patterson, M.D.), two physician assistants, and one nurse practitioner, supported by administrative staff for a total of 11-50 employees.

The practice generates revenue through fee-for-service medical consultations, dermatologic procedures, surgical treatments, and cosmetic services, with payment collected at point of service or via CareCredit financing. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying on local community reputation, word-of-mouth referrals, and a practice website for patient acquisition. There is no evidence of external funding, institutional ownership, or acquisition activity; the practice appears to be independent and physician-led. The technology used is standard dermatological medical equipment, with no proprietary AI, software platforms, or technology products. The practice operates within a regional scope, serving communities across western North Carolina with no indications of expansion beyond this geography.

Broad incumbents

• Advanced Dermatology: Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery is a national dermatology group with full medical, surgical, and cosmetic offerings. It overlaps directly with Current Dermatology's service mix but operates at significantly larger scale with hundreds of providers across multiple states.
• QualDerm Partners: QualDerm Partners is a large, PE-backed dermatology platform operating multi-site practices across the Southeast and beyond. It is comparable to Current Dermatology as it offers general, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology under a multi-site model, but at much greater scale and with corporate infrastructure.
• Anne Arundel Dermatology: Anne Arundel Dermatology is a large regional dermatology group offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic services across multiple sites. Comparable to Current Dermatology in service breadth but with substantially greater geographic reach and provider count.
• Forefront Dermatology: Forefront Dermatology is a multi-site dermatology group with strong Midwest and Mid-Atlantic presence. It offers medical, surgical, and aesthetic dermatology services similar to Current Dermatology but at corporate scale, serving as a comparable platform practice.

Regional players

• Dermatology Associates of Asheville: Dermatology Associates of Asheville is a regional multi-provider dermatology practice in western North Carolina. It is the closest direct geographic peer to Current Dermatology, offering general and surgical dermatology in nearby markets and competing for the same regional patient base.
• Mountain Laurel Dermatology: Mountain Laurel Dermatology is an independent western NC dermatology practice offering general and cosmetic services. It overlaps with Current Dermatology in service mix and serves overlapping WNC communities, making it a direct regional competitor.
• Pisgah Dermatology Center: Pisgah Dermatology Center is an independent western North Carolina dermatology practice providing medical and surgical care. Comparable to Current Dermatology as a regional, multi-provider specialist office targeting the same WNC patient base.
• Skylyn Dermatology: Skylyn Dermatology is a small independent dermatology practice operating in the Carolinas. Comparable as a similarly sized, single-specialty, multi-provider practice focused on general and surgical dermatology.

Emerging players

• Miiskin: Miiskin is a teledermatology and dermatology-focused digital health platform. Comparable to Current Dermatology because it competes for the same dermatology patient demand (especially acne, rashes, and screening visits) through asynchronous remote consultations, representing a disruption vector to in-person practices.
• Direct Dermatology: Direct Dermatology is a teledermatology provider offering remote consultations and image-based diagnoses. It is an emerging alternative channel competing with traditional brick-and-mortar dermatology practices like Current Dermatology for general dermatology visits.
