First Coast Dermatology Associates

What First Coast Dermatology Associates does

First Coast Dermatology Associates is a Florida-based dermatology practice headquartered in Jacksonville Beach, founded in 2004, and operating as an affiliate of Suncoast Skin Solutions. The practice delivers comprehensive dermatologic care across three service lines: medical dermatology (treatment of acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, actinic keratosis, melasma, fungal infections, and pediatric/adolescent skin conditions), surgical dermatology (Mohs micrographic surgery, treatment of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and superficial radiation therapy), and cosmetic dermatology (body contouring via CoolSculpting/truSculpt/truBody/Alma Accent, laser platforms including Thermage FLX, SmartSkin CO2, Vbeam, and Palomar Icon, injectables such as Botox, dermal fillers, and Kybella, plus chemical peels, microneedling, and skin tightening). The practice is staffed exclusively by Mayo Clinic graduates — five dermatologists (Dr. Alison Moon, Dr. Chelsy Marty, Dr. Ines O'Shaughnessy, Dr. Stephanie Ortman, Dr. Danielle Reimer) and one physician assistant (Ellenor Swartz, P.A.) — and serves as the primary pediatric dermatology training site for Mayo Clinic dermatology residents in Florida.

The practice operates a direct-to-consumer model, with patients accessing services via phone scheduling (844-SUNDERM), online booking, and same-day appointments. Revenue is generated through insurance-billed medical and surgical dermatology services alongside out-of-pocket payments for cosmetic procedures. As an affiliate of Suncoast Skin Solutions, First Coast Dermatology benefits from the parent network's 25+ Florida locations across Jacksonville, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Clearwater, Ocala, and other markets, providing geographic reach and centralized brand, marketing, and operational infrastructure. The practice's ownership structure is described as a physician-group model with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or institutional investment.

The business model is conventional clinical dermatology with no disclosed technology platform, proprietary software, or AI/ML capabilities. Marketing is conducted primarily through the Suncoast Skin Solutions website (provider directory, blog, service listings, online booking), Facebook organic social, and patient referrals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; medical and surgical services operate on insurance reimbursement while cosmetic services are cash-pay. The practice maintains an active operating status and is part of Suncoast's broader strategy of acquiring and partnering with independent dermatology practices, as evidenced by dedicated acquisition and partnership pages on the corporate website.
