Skin cancer is the most preventable form of cancer, yet 7 out of 10 adults are behind on their skin cancer screenings. We’re not here to judge or lecture you. We know that getting on a dermatologist’s schedule is a challenge in and of itself. We also know that being rushed in and out of your appointments and getting hit with insurance claims doesn’t make it feel worth it.
At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, we do things differently—because everyone deserves healthy skin. If you landed here by searching something like “dermatologist near me,” read this blog before scheduling an appointment with a traditional doctor.
The Frustrations of Traditional Dermatology
Insurance companies confine what traditional dermatology clinics can accomplish, pushing them to see as many patients as possible as quickly as possible. This causes long wait times, rushed visits, and unexpected costs, which can make a simple skin check feel daunting. Plus, many people leave their doctor’s office with more questions and anxieties than before.
Without ample time to truly understand your situation—from your lifestyle and genetics to your budget and timeline—your doctor can’t effectively treat your concerns. Your skin is just as unique as you are, so standardized “solutions” tend to fall short. Most people know why they should see a skin doctor, but these factors don’t make it easy to stay consistent with scheduling visits. And consistency is key to improving and maintaining your skin’s health.
How Direct Care Dermatology Works
At Galt Dermatology, we eliminate those barriers and focus on what really matters—you. We’ve completely cut out insurance middlemen to focus on satisfying your needs rather than insurance companies’. That means you don’t have to jump through claims hoops, either.
Direct care dermatology allows you to achieve your skin goals on your terms without surprise fees, long wait times, or confusion. So, if you’re looking for a dermatologist near you, ask yourself why. Is it to overcome a skin condition? To reclaim your confidence? No matter your situation, your path to achieving your goals is unlike anyone else’s, so you need expert guidance to clear your own path.
And that requires your doctor’s undivided attention.
What Direct Care Dermatology Means for You
Skin issues are personal—and often urgent—so direct access to individualized care makes a difference. That’s why we offer same-day and next-day appointments, and Dr. Villacorta is on call in case of emergencies.
The result? Easy, meaningful appointments that deliver meaningful outcomes.
Transparent Pricing
On your search for a dermatologist near you, you’ve probably struggled to find clear pricing on most doctors’ websites. At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, we recognize that cost plays a role in your decisions, so we do not hide the price of our care. You deserve to know. Our direct care pricing structure eliminates uncertainties, so you know exactly what you’re paying for, whether you’re coming in for a skin cancer screening or Botox.
While we don’t bill your insurance provider, we’ll explain how and when you can use your health insurance to cover the cost of lab work and prescriptions. To help you save while staying on track with your skincare plan, we also offer flexible membership options—some of which combine dermatology services with discounted medical-grade skincare and concierge medicine services.
Personalized Treatments
We don’t believe in 10-minute appointments—because truly understanding you and your skin takes time. At our practice, every visit is designed to be intentional, unhurried, and deeply personal. We value your time and your investment, which is why we prioritize meaningful conversations about your medical history, skin concerns, goals, and lifestyle. By limiting the number of patients we see each day, we’re able to give you our full attention, so you never feel rushed and always feel seen.
Then, we consider those factors to build your one-of-a-kind treatment plan, walking you through why we recommend each treatment and what to expect before, during, and after them. Our doctors empower you to make informed, confident decisions about your care—we don’t dismiss your concerns or talk over your head.
We act as your partner.
Comprehensive, Ongoing Care
As your body’s largest organ, your skin and the rest of your body are closely connected. That’s why we take a step back to see the bigger picture when we evaluate your skin’s health. We may also recommend working with our on-site concierge doctor to optimize your overall well-being.
Your hormones, diet, mental health, and sleep habits affect your skin, and we don’t ignore that part of the equation. Just because you “feel fine” or your skin “looks fine” doesn’t mean you should hold off on scheduling a visit with a dermatologist near you. Beyond addressing existing skin concerns, we also work to prevent them through a range of innovative therapies, including:
- Medical Dermatology
- Cosmetic Dermatology
- Injectables:
- Skin Rejuvenation:
- Lasers & Light:

What Patients Are Saying
Don’t just take our word for it! Our patients’ reviews speak for themselves.
“Dealing with skin cancer is a daunting experience, but Dr. Villacorta’s thoroughness and willingness to take his time made all the difference. He didn’t rush through the appointment; instead, he ensured every concern was addressed and every question answered. His professionalism and compassion were evident at every step. The office itself is modern and well-equipped, adding to the overall positive experience. But what truly sets Galt Dermatology apart is the team’s commitment to going above and beyond. They not only provided excellent medical care but also offered support and reassurance during a challenging time. They turned what could have been a scary situation into a positive experience, and for that, we are truly grateful.”

“I recently had both medical and non-medical procedures done with Dr. Miguel, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. His extensive knowledge, meticulous attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients truly set him apart. Most recently, I tried Sculptra, and Dr. Miguel took the time to thoroughly explain the process, ensuring I felt completely comfortable every step of the way. The results are natural and exactly what I hoped for. I recommend both Dr. Miguel and Dr. Stella without hesitation—they make an incredible team!”
– Meery M.
“Great doctor! Third dermatologist I saw and third time is the charm! He spent so much time with me answering all of my questions, which rarely happens in a doctor’s office anymore. I am so grateful. He is knowledgeable, intelligent, kind, caring, and thorough. Highly recommend.”
– Carol D.
“From the moment you walk into this office, the staff is super friendly and kind. I actually mixed my appointment day and ended up going a day later, and the staff was kind enough to squeeze me in. I was so impressed by their kindness.
Dr. Villacorta speaks English and Spanish, and he is very knowledgeable, super nice, and he takes the time to explain to you the situation and the treatment. What incredible energy flows in that office!”
– Joanna E.
