Academic Dermatology Of Nevada

What Academic Dermatology Of Nevada does

Academic Dermatology of Nevada is a single-location dermatology practice operating in Henderson, Nevada, under the corporate umbrella of PhyNet Dermatology LLC. Founded and led by Dr. Curt Samlaska, a board-certified dermatologist with prior military service and academic credentials, the practice offers medical, surgical, cosmetic, and pediatric dermatology services to adult and pediatric patients in the Henderson/Las Vegas suburban market. The clinical team comprises one physician and approximately three mid-level providers and cosmetic technicians, supporting a mixed medical-surgical-cosmetic service mix.

The practice's revenue model combines insured medical and surgical dermatology with self-pay cosmetic services. It participates with more than twelve commercial insurance payors in addition to Medicare/Medicaid, and uses Cherry Technologies to provide patient payment plans for out-of-pocket procedures. Patient access is delivered through a physical clinic, an online scheduling and intake flow built on the Healow patient portal, an SMS/texting contact channel, and a TikTok social media presence for consumer acquisition. The practice has extended its brand beyond clinical visits with the MyDermSpot retail product line.

Operationally, the practice is a small independent clinic with no disclosed additional sites, no disclosed funding events, and no disclosed M&A activity. Technology adoption is limited to off-the-shelf patient engagement and financing tools rather than proprietary or AI-enabled systems. The investment-relevant picture is therefore a single-site clinical services business with incremental digital and retail extensions, anchored by a single senior physician and a geographically concentrated patient base.
