“My decision to enter medicine was an easy one. During college not only was I most interested in the sciences, but I felt a calling towards medicine. I wanted to dedicate my career to being involved in the health and well being of others. Dermatology is an incredible field and one of the most exciting aspects of the field is that our patients usually get better. There is nothing more satisfying than a patient who comes back to the office with a beaming smile because we were able to help them.”
"Skin cancer does not discriminate and impacts all races, ethnic backgrounds, and age groups. Fortunately, when detected early, most all types of skin cancers are curable, even melanoma. Protect your skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun and have your skin checked by a board-certified dermatologist yearly."
"I have a true passion for cosmetic dermatology. I get great gratification from assisting people to feel better about their appearance. If people are more confident about their appearance, it tends to be reflected in other parts of their life, both personal and professional. In terms of what sets me apart, I am a Board Certified Dermatologist. I keep on the cutting edge with regard to new procedures and techniques. Very importantly, I personally perform all BOTOX and filler injections in my office."

"Early in the Physician Assistant program, I did a rotation in dermatology, and I fell in love with the field. I was amazed at how much one could diagnose from the skin. I also loved the out-patient setting and found that dermatology combined what I liked about many other fields of medicine."
"I am passionate about dermatology. I care for adults and children, perform medical and cosmetic treatments, conduct research, and change people’s lives for the better."
Caitlin is working under the direct supervision of board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon, Robert MacNeal, MD. She joined the Dermatology and Laser Center at Medical Center Clinic in 2024.
"I love that dermatology encompasses both cosmetic and medical aspects. If I can do, prescribe, or recommend a product or treatment that will help a patient feel better in their own skin, then I am fulfilled as a provider. I will give every patient 110% and will do whatever I can in my power to help solve whatever skin issue they bring to my attention."
"Dermatology is such a gratifying field to be a part of. Skin is the largest organ of the body and it is usually the first thing people notice on one another. When successfully treating acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, skin cancers or any other skin diseases, the potential to boost someone’s confidence and overall well-being is such a rewarding feeling. My goal as a Nurse Practitioner in dermatology will be health promotion and disease prevention through comprehensive patient education."
"I had an interest in helping others early on and I appreciate all the different aspects of dermatology—from treating acne and skin cancers to helping patients reach their aesthetic goals."
"I was a registered medical assistant at Dermatology & Laser Center at Medical Center Clinic for almost ten years. During this time, I developed a passion for becoming a nurse and decided later to continue my education and chose to pursue a career as an advanced practitioner provider because of my love for dermatology.
