Your body has skin cells called melanocytes and these cells produce melanin, which determines the color of your skin. Melanocytes can grow in clumps, producing a mole. Nearly everyone can have between 10 and 40 moles and they can be many different colors or textures, but they are usually less than 6 millimeters in diameter.
Your first visit to Academy Dermatology and Laser Center involves a few special steps so that we can get to know you. You'll find all the practical information you need, such as a map and directions to our office, practice hours, payment policies and more. There's also background information about our committed staff and our first visit procedures.
A dermatologist is a physician who specializes in the treatment of skin conditions and diseases. Dermatologists are certified by the American Board of Dermatology after extensive education and medical residency. They treat everything from minor skin rashes, like hives, to chronic skin diseases, such as eczema or psoriasis.

Wouldn't use this place if I had skin cancer and they were only place that could save me. My appointment was grossly mishandled and the office manager blamed me instead of taking any accountability for her staff. Stay clear from this place and save yourself the uttermost disappointment.

Had to wait over 40 minutes for a room then waited another 10. I even showed up early to get paperwork completed and I still had to wait. 2 people came in after me were seen before me. The receptionist was not helpful nor was she nice.

Dr. Johnson is the warmest, most interested, experienced dermatologist in Colorado Springs! He devotes the time necessary to assure a correct diagnosis! You can be sure he’ll devote the same to you! If you’re in a hurry, and don’t appreciate the necessary diagnostic attention, go elsewhere!
Thank you Dr. Johnson and staff!♥️

My daughter has suffered from white patches on her face and body for months. It took me begging her pediatrician to refer to me a dermatologist and we get sent here per my request because I heard only good things about them from my own patients and friends. I made the mistake and entered her appointment date wrong, I’ll take responsibility for that. I reached out and tried to reschedule her appointment but they told me its not in their policy to reschedule appointments. I understand every place has policies because I work in a specialty clinic but this is how you miss out on business. Now my

I’ve been going here for a little over a year now even when their office is quite far from me. The doctor is great he is quick and he made sure he met my skin care needs. However, I’ve never had an issue with the staff until now. I’ve been having appointment issues and i ended up missing 2 appointments. The 1st appointment was missed because of ride issues however I did call to reschedule. Upon rescheduling I was treated as if I was irresponsible for having to reschedule granted it was my fault but show some empathy to your patients with ride issues! Now with every appointment I scheduled

It was a long wait for the doctor but he finally saw my wife. She was happy with the doctor and her prescriptions. So it was a good visit. Thank you.

Every person at the office is pleasant and friendly. They made sure I knew the location of the office and setting up an appointment was easy. They are one of the few places in town that accept my insurance and I am forever thankful for their help on my journey to clear skin. Dr. Johnson was the first dermatologist I have seen that did not give me the run around about my medication options. Thank you!

I don't know about these other reviews, but my experience was great. Office staff were really friendly and the doctor was knowledgeable and professional. I didn't wait long at all.

Went in for a preventative examine. Staff were friendly and helpful. However, Waited 40 min to get a room and another 10 min before seeing the Dr.
Once Dr. Came in, it was about a 3 min interaction, Dr. Seemed rushed and wanting to move to the next patient as soon as possible. I've heard dermotology offices around the city are all like this, but doesn't mean it should be the norm.
