What Center For Dermatology & Skin Surgery, Inc. does

Center For Dermatology & Skin Surgery, Inc., doing business as Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery (ADCS), is a private multi-location dermatology group practice headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The company operates 153+ clinic locations across 15 US states under a family of brands including Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, Florida Skin Center, Cara Mia Dermatology, Maragh Dermatology, Fort Collins Skin Clinic, Grekin Skin Institute, and Castle Dermatology & Laser Center. Its service portfolio spans four primary clinical categories — skin cancer detection and treatment (using Total-Body Skin Cancer Exams, Nevisense electrical impedance spectroscopy, Mohs surgery, and Superficial Radiation Therapy), medical dermatology (acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and related conditions), cosmetic dermatology (injectables, laser and energy treatments, skin rejuvenation, cosmetic surgery), and pediatric dermatology — supplemented by telehealth consultations, an in-house dermatopathology lab, and a clinical research program.

The underlying technology stack combines a healthcare service delivery platform (online appointment booking, patient portal, telehealth, online shop at shop.advancedderm.com) with clinical modalities including Nevisense EIS for melanoma detection and an in-house dermatopathology lab. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, or proprietary software products are disclosed. The company supports physician pipeline development through residency programs (Orlando Derm Residency), a Bridge Year Program, and a PA/NP Training Program, and operates community engagement and philanthropy programs.

ADCS generates revenue through professional services delivered across its clinic network, split between insurance-reimbursed medical dermatology (including skin cancer treatment) and predominantly patient-pay cosmetic dermatology. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer via the corporate website (AdvancedDerm.com), social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), email newsletters, and a centralized phone line (866-400-3376). The company runs an active practice acquisition program ("Partner With Us" / "Selling Your Practice?"), which is the primary mechanism by which the multi-brand, multi-state footprint has been assembled. No funding rounds, ownership structure, leadership team, or financial disclosures are evidenced in the source data.

• QualDerm Partners: PE-backed dermatology and skin-care platform offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology across multiple states. Directly comparable growth-by-acquisition strategy and service-line breadth.
• West Dermatology: Multi-state dermatology practice with medical, surgical, and cosmetic services across the Western US. Competes for acquisition targets and provides comparable full-service patient offerings.
• U.S. Dermatology Partners: Largest US dermatology practice platform with a comparable multi-state, multi-brand operating model. Competes head-to-head with ADCS for acquired practices, physician talent, and patients across skin cancer, medical, and cosmetic dermatology.

Regional players

• Water's Edge Dermatology: Florida-based dermatology practice with full medical, surgical, Mohs, and cosmetic services. Overlaps directly with ADCS in Florida — the company's home state — and competes for the same patient population.
• Riverchase Dermatology: Florida-focused dermatology practice offering medical, cosmetic, and Mohs surgery. Competes with ADCS's Florida Skin Center sub-brand for Southwest Florida patients.

Broad incumbents

• Cleveland Clinic Dermatology: Hospital-system-affiliated dermatology department offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology as part of a larger integrated delivery network. Adjacent competitive threat in markets where ADCS operates near Cleveland Clinic facilities.

Emerging players

• DermatologistOnCall: Teledermatology-focused platform providing asynchronous and synchronous virtual visits. Direct competitor specifically to ADCS's telehealth service line, and emerging alternative channel that could capture a share of online patient acquisition.
