Our Backstory

The Dermatology & Laser Institute of Colorado, P.C. opened its doors in 2001, introducing a new level of dermatology care to residents of metropolitan Denver.

Until the mid-1970s, what is now called Highlands Ranch was a 22,000-acre working cattle ranch, owned by the prominent Phipps Family. The Phipps, comprised of philanthropists and even a Senator, helped to settle Denver and the west. Highlands Ranch was designed to be a creative interface of residential, recreational, retail, and commercial development. Medical facilities and physicians were naturally attracted to the upscale community, the Dermatology & Laser Institute of Colorado among them.

It's no coincidence that our physicians have been trained at some of the finest institutions in the country. One of our core values is a commitment to exceptional education and ongoing training. We are unwavering when it comes to remaining at the lead of medical science and technological advancements.

We perform routine dermatological diagnosis and treatment to advanced cosmetic procedures—both non-invasive and surgical. Our services are rendered in a reassuring environment where patients can feel comfortable speaking candidly with their physician and medical technicians. Our doctors communicate thoroughly and caringly with patients, applying their comprehensive knowledge of the skin (the body's largest organ) and keen understanding of optimum procedures to achieve naturally beautiful outcomes.

The advantage of superior educations, professional memberships and all-encompassing responsiveness cannot be overstated when it comes to evaluating the right doctor to care for you and your family.
