Dermatology that Caters to Kids and Cares for the Whole Family
Dermatologists Miami FL
The Children's Skin Center (CSC) has provided kid-friendly, family-centered dermatology in South Florida under the direction of board-certified pediatric dermatologist and dermatologist Dr. Ana M. Duarte since 1995. At CSC, we treat skin disorders in infants, children, and adults, offering families the latest medications and state-of-the-art technology in a comforting family atmosphere.
Our Director and staff are dedicated to ensuring that each visit is patient-centered, kid friendly, and positive! We specialize in the treatment of vascular birthmarks, hemangiomas, and port wine stains.
Pediatric Dermatology Demystified
Pediatric dermatology is highly specialized because infants and children are not just small versions of adults. There are many conditions that are exclusively seen in pediatric patients, and others that are treated differently in pediatric patients. You can feel confident in your child’s care as Dr. Ana M. Duarte is fellowship trained and board certified in pediatric dermatology. Our team is committed to continually learning and growing in professional knowledge, skills, and experience, to provide the best possible service to our patients!
Our providers are the heart of our practice. We hope you’ll take some time to get to know our practitioners. We are very proud of our team.
