Dermatology Associates of Coastal Carolina

What Dermatology Associates of Coastal Carolina does

Dermatology Associates of Coastal Carolina is a physician-owned, private dermatology practice headquartered in Kinston, North Carolina, operating four clinical offices across eastern North Carolina: Kinston, New Bern, Morehead City, and Jacksonville. The practice delivers a full continuum of dermatologic care organized into four service lines: medical dermatology (acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, mole checks, cutaneous lymphoma workups), surgical dermatology (skin cancer excision, reconstruction, laser and varicose vein treatment), Mohs micrographic surgery (a tissue-mapping technique delivering up to 99% cure rates for primary skin cancers in cosmetically sensitive areas), and pediatric dermatology, with adjunctive cosmetic services. Its underlying clinical capability is a credentialed, technique-intensive Mohs program complemented by general medical, surgical, pediatric, and cosmetic service breadth, delivered by three board-certified dermatologists (all with U.S. Naval Academy backgrounds and prior Navy dermatology leadership), one certified nurse practitioner, and approximately nine certified physician assistants.

The firm generates revenue through fee-for-service professional billing to patients and accepted insurance carriers (Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Medcost, Medicare, Tricare Prime, Tricare Select, United Healthcare, VA Community Care Network). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the practice enforces a $50 late-cancellation/no-show fee and requires a credit card on file for all patients. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer appointment-based scheduling by phone across the four locations, with a professional website (newbernderm.com) functioning as a top-of-funnel informational and bill-pay channel.

Ownership is independent practitioner-owned with no disclosed private equity backing, parent company, or external institutional investors, consistent with a traditional physician group practice structure. The firm maintains no app, no API, no published AI/ML or digital health capabilities, and no disclosed revenue, funding, or M&A history; its principal external commercial signals are a recent vendor data-breach notification and standard professional-association memberships (AAD, ASDS, ASMS).

Broad incumbents

• Duke Dermatology: Academic dermatology department within Duke Health offering medical, surgical, Mohs, dermatopathology, and pediatric dermatology with a regional referral base. Comparable specialty offerings but operates on an academic model and draws complex cases from across the Carolinas.
• Water's Edge Dermatology: Mid-size PE-backed dermatology platform in the Southeast US offering medical, surgical, Mohs, and cosmetic dermatology across multiple offices. Comparable operating model and service mix; illustrative of the consolidator competitive set.
• US Dermatology Partners: Largest PE-backed dermatology consolidator in the US, with hundreds of locations across multiple states including the Carolinas. Direct overlap in medical, surgical, Mohs, and pediatric dermatology, but operates at vastly greater scale and offers broader insurance and cosmetic service portfolios than the anchor practice.
• Forefront Dermatology: PE-backed dermatology platform with a footprint across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic, offering the same core services (medical, surgical, Mohs, cosmetic, pediatric) as Dermatology Associates of Coastal Carolina. Comparable on service mix, but larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• QualDerm Partners: PE-backed dermatology and skin-care consolidator operating practices across multiple US states. Comparable service mix including medical, surgical, Mohs, and cosmetic dermatology; represents the same acquisition-driven competitive pressure faced by independent derm groups.
• Novant Health Dermatology: Health-system-affiliated dermatology service line in North Carolina, providing medical and surgical dermatology as part of an integrated delivery network. Competes with the anchor for insured patients in North Carolina but with broader organizational scale and payer leverage.
