We offer full-service dermatologic care with personalized treatments for Nevada and Northern California. Our Doctors and Physician Assistants are trained with up-to-date knowledge from some of the best schools. We are Northern Nevada's largest physician-owned dermatology practice with no ties to Venture Capital or Private Equity groups.
Services
Over the past decade there has been a growing and concerning trend of for-profit private equity/venture capital groups purchasing medical practices. We are proud to announce that we remain physician-owned and have rejected buyouts which we feel would compromise our family-friendly work environment and our ability to focus on patient care rather than profit for stock holders.
We perform routine skin cancer screening and diagnose and treat all disorders of the skin, hair, and nails for all ages. We offer extensive expertise in skin cancer treatment and surgery including Mohs micrographic surgery.

My husband and I have been going to Carson dermatology for years. Way before they built their new building over here by the hospital. Yesterday I had to have surgery for the removal of cancer on my lip, unfortunately it's not fun to have the stuff on your face! But I found the staff to be very compassionate kind and gentle. Enjoyed joking around with Dr Tack and giving him a bad time. We recommend this place to all of our friends.

The entire staff was excellent. Dr. Adams besides being personable, is just one of those people that instantly instills confidence regarding her skills. I can't remember ever leaving a Drs. Appointment and feeling that I had lucked out.

From the moment you check in until the time you leave, you get the best care. This office is professional, but relaxed. Dr. Tack is the best and I can't imagine going elsewhere. I place a lot of value on the fact that another physician of mine speaks so highly of him.

The doctors and their staff are thorough, professional, caring, pleasant and friendly. It is easy to call in and make an appointment - the staff always accommodates us since we are driving from Bishop, CA. Dr. Gratrix was really great! My husband and I highly recommend Carson Dermatology.

I needed an appointment quickly for an unknown skin problem on my hands due to upcoming travel as a caregiver. Although they could not give me an appointment in Carson, they were able to squeeze me into the schedule at the Reno Office. The problem turned out to be minor, using one prescription and a recommendation for a fantastic hand cream to aid in healing in comfort. One big worry gone! Never disappointed with Carson Dermatology.

Dr. Tack and his assistant Heather took very excellent care of me. The cancer on my nose is gone. Dr. Tack has done such a wonderful job. He is valued so much with all that he does. Heather too is also very caring when giving me all the shots. This team at this office is the very - very the best ever. I will reccomend they forever.

I came from south Reno off Mount Rose Highway and found the Carson clinic about the same time distance as Carson Dermatology's Reno office. The Carson office is more robust and organized. Their skin removal service was done quickly and without pain. Patient instructions were presented well. Doctor and technician were both competent with excellent bed side manner.

This practice has a very professional attitude towards their patients. Appointment times are handled promptly and my visit is given ample time for questions and special considerations. I highly recommend it.
