When asked to think about organs of the human body, many try to visualize a heart or the lungs, which are on the inside. In fact, the largest organ of the body is the skin, which can be seen without any imaging equipment. Human skin is the first line of defense against many illnesses and injuries and is the primary focus of the medical specialty of dermatology.
Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) offers extensive dermatology services at the Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Center, led by highly skilled dermatologist, Brooke Hensley, DO, FAAD. Dr. Hensley is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology and, along with her team of talented healthcare professionals, is committed to providing a high level of care to her patients. She specializes in general dermatology, Botox and fillers, diagnosis and treatment of skin and hair disorders as well as skin cancer biopsies, treatment and excision.
Maintaining healthy skin can be vital to a patient’s health and overall quality of life. Skin issues such as rashes, eczema, acne and itching can cause patients pain and discomfort, and at times can affect their self-confidence. Dermatologists have the training to offer a wide range of medical and cosmetic procedures to bring relief from conditions which affect patients’ skin, hair and nails.
Dermatology is an advanced medical field, and Dr. Hensley and her team provide state-of-the-art care to their patients ranging from cosmetic and elective procedures to potentially life-saving treatments.
