Philosophy:
We specialize in providing holistic and individualized dermatological care with an emphasis on prevention and building the health of your skin. Our patients are the reasons our practice exists. We enjoy our relationships with our patients, and we spend as much time as needed at each visit.
Housed in our newly renovated office, you will find Dr. Heidi Gilchrist and her gentle team of staff prepared to listen to your story and then address your dermatology needs. Although Dr. Gilchrist has a solid foundational training in conventional western medicine, she emphasizes a holistic, integrated approach to skin health and disease prevention, including individualized dietary recommendations, natural skin conditioners, and mindfulness practices.
In our facility, we believe that small changes ripple out into large results, both for your skin and for the environment. For that reason, we choose ecologically friendly practices whenever possible.
