Medical Dermatology

 

Skin disease is rarely straightforward. Chronic conditions evolve, resist standard treatments, and frequently reflect systemic processes that a generalist is not trained to fully evaluate. Dr. Alexiades’s medical dermatology practice exists for precisely these patients.

 

As a Harvard-trained physician-scientist Dual Boarded in Dermatology in the US/EU, a PhD in Genetics and over 25 years of clinical and research experience, Dr. Alexiades approaches complex medical dermatology with a depth of diagnostic and mechanistic understanding that sets her practice apart. Author of world-renowned textbooks and hundreds of published articles and book chapters—including a seminal paper defining a form of lupus and seven chapters on autoimmune disease—she is an established leader in diagnosis. She treats the condition — not the symptom — and pursues answers where other providers have stopped.

Our Approach

 

Patients managing chronic skin disease deserve a physician who will invest the time, diagnostic rigor, and scientific currency their condition requires. Dr. Alexiades’s research background — reflected in her published textbooks and hundreds of peer-reviewed articles — informs her clinical practice directly. She remains at the frontier of emerging therapeutics and brings that knowledge to every consultation.

 

For patients managing ongoing conditions, care is structured around continuity. Treatment plans are reviewed, adjusted, and held to the standard the diagnosis demands — not managed through fragmented episodic visits.

 

If you have been managing a skin condition without resolution, or if you are seeking a physician with the scientific depth to understand your disease at its root, there is no comparison to the highly skilled dermatologic expertise of Dr. Alexiades.
