Does anyone have a great dermatologist they love and totally trust?
When I was dealing with some rather severe exema earlier this year, I turned to my chiropractor (Synapse in Eagan). Because the skin is a major detoxification organ, I knew that it had to do with what I was eating. We did lots of food testing and I changed my diet to clear my skin.
Just a different thought!

Dr. Jaime Davis at Uptown Dermatology and Skin Spa (in Uptown Minneapolis) is terrific. She's very thorough and cautious, has a great "bedside" manner, and never makes you feel rushed.
I have not met this particular dermatologist - but, I have an appt next week with her. She is from Dermatology Consultants - in Eagan (on Town Centre Dr near Yankee Doodle). They also have a Woodbury clinic. Her name is Dr. Kristina Shaffer. There are 2 Dr. Shaffers there (possibly her husband?) so if you do decide to see her - I would state her first name. My dad saw her after having a skin allergy from cancer tx AND my mom saw her just recently. They both HIGHLY recommended her to me. My mom had been under different dermatologists and family physicians with NO results. She decided to see Dr. Shaffer since my dad had a good report. Dr. Shaffer took the right steps in making my mom feel HEARD and she said she was very thorough and explained things very well. I used to go to this particular office in the past (but my old dermatologist doesn't work there anymore) and recently moved back to MN - I'm hoping that Dr. Shaffer will be able to help me out with some skin allergies. Good luck to you.
we have seen several and our favorite is Dr Brian Zelickson in Edina. He also works out of a clinic in wayzata a couple days a week and downtown minneapolis.
He is rated one of the best in the country, and you'll learn why. his bedside manner, care for patients (and parents/family), explanations/solutions are outstanding.
I see Dr. Cally Chermak at Dermatology Specialists in Edina. Office number is ###-###-####. Malignant melanoma runs in my family, and I wanted to make sure I saw someone who was very thorough and pretty aggressive when it comes to taking biopsies. She is terrific!
