Charlotte Dermatology

What Charlotte Dermatology does

Charlotte Dermatology is a multi-location dermatology practice founded in 1939, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. The practice operates 9 clinical sites spanning the Charlotte, NC metropolitan area (7th Street, Berewick, Cornelius, Matthews, Rocky River-Harrisburg, University, Waverly) and Myrtle Beach, SC (two Devon Court locations), serving patients of all ages from pediatric to senior. The clinical team includes 3 board-certified MDs and 15 PA-Cs, with a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon (Dr. Hazem M. El-Gamal) on staff.

The practice delivers three integrated service lines: medical dermatology (diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, vitiligo, and skin cancer), surgical dermatology (Mohs micrographic surgery, excisions, biopsies, photodynamic therapy, XTRAC laser), and cosmetic/aesthetic dermatology (chemical peels, Laser Genesis, Cool Glide laser hair removal, microneedling with FDA-approved Skin Pen, microdermabrasion, Latisse, and Blue Light Therapy). Underlying technology consists of conventional dermatology treatment devices and a standard electronic medical records patient portal; no proprietary technology or AI capabilities are documented.

Charlotte Dermatology generates revenue through two primary streams: insurance-reimbursed medical and surgical dermatology services, and self-pay cosmetic/aesthetic procedures. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer, driven by organic SEO, a patient education blog, insurance network listings, and a formal physician referral program. In March 2025, the practice affiliated with DOCS Dermatology Group (backed by SkyKnight Capital), with Physician Growth Partners serving as exclusive financial advisor, integrating the practice into a PE-backed dermatology platform with access to a 275+ provider network and committed growth capital from Penfund, Antares Capital, and New Mountain.
