11 Top-Voted Grand Rapids Dermatologists

From dry skin to warts to rashes – unhealthy skin is super uncomfortable. And being the largest organ in our bodies, we need to take care of it!

These Grand Rapids dermatologists specialize in skincare and have a great rapport with patients of all ages.

I’ve met with several of these docs for my kids or myself and appreciate how they interacted with each of us at our own levels.

The dermatologist for kids worked with my kids to help them understand their options and how procedures work. When one of my kids showed great fear at a treatment, they gave them space to process the situation and become more comfortable.

At another appointment, the doctor wisely walked me through what was happening and the order of treatments they recommended. When you are a past melanoma patient it’s easy to have alarm, but my dermatologists have always been kind and encouraging.
