Dermatology Affiliates Welcomes Dr. Abbott to East Cobb
As the days grow shorter in the fall and winter months, now is the perfect time to begin a reparative skin care regimen to correct unfortunate summer sun damage. This process is now easier than ever, because Dermatology Affiliates recently added Cynthia Abbott, M.D. to its practice. Known for their focus on patient care, the physicians at Dermatology Affiliates see patients for any condition impacting skin, nails or hair. They specialize in diagnosing and treating skin cancer. They also treat acne, psoriasis, eczema and removing warts or moles.
Dr. Abbott has always felt at home in two worlds, the world of science and the world of art. It’s part of what draws her to the field of dermatology, where you need both skills to bring out healthy and beautiful skin.
“I feel like all my life I have been trying to combine those two,” Dr. Abbott says.
“In college I majored in both art and biology. I got my master’s in Medical Illustration and I did a fellowship in Cosmetic Dermatology. I am a very visual person. Any treatment that I do for a patient, I would want to be aesthetically pleasing.”
The visual appeal may have been what started Dr. Abbott’s interest in dermatology. But what keeps her going is the variety of people she gets to help.
Dr. Abbott also completed an internship in Pediatrics at Kosair Children’s Hospital in Louisville. And as such, she feels she has expertise in Pediatric Dermatology and Cosmetic Dermatology.
“What I mostly love about dermatology is the multigenerational factor,” Dr. Abbott says. “I love that I see kids and World War II vets in the same day.”
To get the most out of your partnership with your dermatologist, Dr. Abbott recommends understanding your medical needs.
“Be educated, know your own medications, and know your medical history,” she says. “I like to work together to treat your diseases and concerns.”
