What to look for in a dermatologist
- Credentials. A board-certified dermatologist, or a nurse practitioner or physician assistant with dermatology training, working with one.
- The care you need, under one roof. Skin checks, acne, rashes, hair loss, minor surgery and cosmetic care, so you are not sent elsewhere.
- Insurance that fits. A practice that tells you plainly which plans it takes and what a visit costs if you pay directly.
- Easy to book. Real-time online booking, a local phone line, and a way to text.
- A practice with a track record. Years of patients and reviews, not just a new sign.

Questions patients ask
Is a nurse practitioner as good as a dermatologist?
Nurse practitioners are licensed to diagnose, treat and prescribe. At our Palm Beach Gardens office, Christine Sacco, FNP-C has post-master's training in dermatology and works alongside Dr. Mandel, a board-certified dermatologist. You can book with either.
Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?
It depends on your plan. Check your insurance card for referral or authorization requirements, or call the number on the back of the card.
