Hines III, Wirt A MD
We are the only independent, locally owned and operated dermatology practice in Skagit County. If you are searching for a dermatologist near Anacortes, you have arrived at the right place. On this website you will not find stock photos of professional models with perfect skin and overemotional smiles.

Rather, we are a real dermatology practice for hard-working families. We provide unparalleled and customized treatments for medical, surgical, and aesthetic dermatology in a practical no-frills manner. We treat patients of all ages. Our office is conveniently located in downtown Anacortes (the 'gateway' to the San Juan Islands), just a short drive from Mount Vernon, Burlington, Whidbey Island, and Camano Island.
Services
At Anacortes Dermatology we provide a personalized experience to patients, with a provider who has extensive expertise and knowledge of skin disorders and treatments. Despite the fact many skin problems share similar features and symptoms, we provide each patient with a personalized plan for therapy.
We are excited for you to choose Anacortes Dermatology for your medical care. Generally, we have a short wait for appointments, and patients can sometimes be seen the same week, or even the same day for very urgent issues. We will make every effort to accommodate your busy schedule. At Anacortes Dermatology we exhibit professionalism within a casual atmosphere.
At Anacortes Dermatology we accept and bill most insurances. We are contracted and in-network with Medicare, and are a 'Preferred Provider' with Regence, Premera Blue Cross, United Healthcare, Aetna, and Cigna, Kaiser, Bridgespan, and First Choice Health Network. We also see patients with Tricare Select.
Since 2008, Dr. Hines has significantly contributed to educating our community by giving lectures on the topic of mental health and the stigma of mental diseases. Many members of our community are unaware the impact that mental illness has on families, and the true cost of treating mental disorders far outreaches even our wildest expectations.
FACT: Did you know that some dermatology practices pay $1000's per month to online reputation management companies to favorably manipulate their patient reviews on Google, Yelp, Facebook, and others? The companies accomplish this by emailing every patient, and asking them for a review using their "internal" system.

I felt comfortable and confident in the care provided by Anacortes Dermatology from the get-go; beginning with scheduling and completing paperwork prior to the appointment to the way the appointment itself was conducted. Dr. Hines and his assistant were clear and consistent in taking our medical history, conducting the exam, and discharge instructions and education. I highly recommend Anacortes Dermatology.

Last week I underwent a cancer surgery on my forehead. Today they removed the stitches. Dr. Hines is the best of the best! He and his staff are caring and dedicated to insure the best possible outcome for a patient like me, 81 years old woman. It is ironic, that he is the only locally owned and operated dermatologist in Skagit Co. He does not have a glitzy advertisement like others in the area. Dr. Hines and his small staff made me believe that professional, attentive and personable medical care still exists. Thank you Dr. Hines and your staff for a job well done. I am sure you will have many happy

My wife and I recently moved to Anacortes from California. Among all the things to do upon moving to a new area, we needed to source and select doctors of various specialties. My predisposition for developing pre-cancerous spots, particularly on my scalp and face, require that I see a dermatologist at least every 6 to 12 months. So, I read about Dr. Hines and his dermatology practice known as Anacortes Dermatology. A few days before my appointment, I spoke on the phone with a very knowledgeable member of the staff who was very cordial, respectful and informative. She made it easy for me to complete

Dr. Hines is an extremely kind man who is very skilled in his field. Both Bill and I have had nothing but the best care from him and highly recommend his office staff and, of course Dr. Hines. His response time to my questions has been immediate. You can’t do better than that!

My husband and I have seen Dr. Hines several times now. Each visit has been thorough and unrushed. We have appreciated his knowledge, his expertise, and his practical advice. Advice that has always worked! His staff has always been helpful and polite. We both happily recommend Dr. Hines for anyone looking for a great dermatologist.

Dr. Hines and assistant Nancy sent me home relieved to have a rash I'd suffered for almost a year, properly diagnosed by Dr. Hines on my very first visit. Lab work was done quickly in his clinic while i waited for the diagnosis, and a prescription sent to the pharmacy immediately. He was a clear communicator, as was Nancy. The clinic was well prepared to avoid spreading of corona virus, with proper air filtration and personal protective equipment. Efficient, friendly, great communication skills, and an extensive background in dermatology: Dr. Hines and his clinic, Anacortes Dermatology, have me

I visited Dr. Hines to check on a mole I was concerned about and then ended up having a full checkup. He and the nurse were extremely professional and made me feel completely comfortable. He took the time to talk with me about factors that impact my skin type specifically. No hurried rush and short answers, I felt as though I was getting the best treatment possible. I will recommend Anacortes Dermatology to all of my friends and family for treatment.

In a world of ever changing providers and mass produced medicine, Dr. Andy Hines is a refreshing change. Unlike other dermatology clinics, you see the Doctor each time you go. His skill, training and thoroughness will be obvious on your first visit. I highly recommend Anacortes Dermatology.

When we moved to Anacortes a couple years ago I began searching for a local dermatology practice that was not part of a large, remote medical service organization where it felt like the doctor was being pushed to rush your appointment so they could get to the next one. A smaller, “hometown doctor’s practice” that provided a more accessible, personalized level of care was my preference. I selected Anacortes Dermatology. Dr. Hines is very responsive, explains any issues very well and truly seems interested in providing exceptional care. I have been very pleased.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hines for a few years now and have had several IPL treatments. What I like about Anacortes Dermatology compared to others, is that I don’t feel like I’m being up-sold on more services. Other dermatologists wanted me to come in for a series of IPL treatments over several months which increases my time and cost significantly while yielding the same result. Dr. Hines and his staff are able to provide an effective and safe treatment in one visit!
My last visit was a month ago, during COVID. I felt perfectly safe every step of the way from waiting in my car until the

We recently moved to Anacortes and I was looking to find a new provider in town. Anacortes Dermatology was able to see me quickly and establish care. I was very pleased with their professionalism and friendly staff. Everything went smoothly from the first call to finding an appointment that worked with my schedule. I would recommend Anacortes Dermatology to anyone interested in dermatological care.

I was very happy with my recent visit to Dr. Hines for my full body yearly scan, and also addressing some additional skin issues/concerns I am having. I have had a very difficult time finding a local dermatologist that I feel is doing a good job checking my skin and wanting to support my health. Since I have a history of multiple melanomas it is very important that I find a dermatologist that is knowledgeable and takes care to make sure I stay clear of future issues. Dr. Hines is the first dermatologist that I have found in the area, that took the time to do a thorough body check for the melanoma

I moved to Anacortes recently from a city with a huge hospital and by passed the clinic as it blended in with other houses. I was skeptical, like the dentist in the strip mall offering a super discount to pull all your teeth. However, I trusted the glowing user reviews and they were right, Anacortes Dermatology is a gem. It is expected that any doctor you go to will fix the problem. What sets Anacortes Dermatology apart is that Dr. Hines is genuine. He and his staff treated me more like a family friend than patient X. They even gave me some job leads. The entire process was so much better than

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience. I left a message asking about their experience with a specific concern. The doc called me back and was very thoughtful in his response. I went to their offices and both the doc and the receptionist were as wonderful in-person as on the phone. He is very knowledgeable comprehensive. They want to make sure they have enough time to spend with you when you make an appointment. As I live on another island, they offer options of treatment and follow-up that do not require in-person visits if it is a burden. I have been to a number of dermatologist

I was really impressed with my first visit to Anacortes Dermatology. I've been to a number of dermos over the years, and always felt like I was being rushed out of the office. This is not the case with AD! Both the doctor and the nurse were very patient and consultative the entire time. I'm really looking forward to continuing my care here.
