Penn State Hershey Dermatology Patient Care

Our department provides care for patients with all types of skin disorders. Specialty services include patch testing for skin allergies, advanced evaluation of hair and scalp disorders, interpretation of skin pathology, occupational dermatology, acne treatment, ultraviolet light and biologic infusions for psoriasis, and cosmetic procedures.

Penn State Hershey Dermatology is a provider of choice among residents in Central Pennsylvania.  More than 40,000 patient visits occurred at offices in the University Physician Center, Nyes Road, and the Milton Hershey School.  Over the last few years, we improved access with additional appointments, evening clinic hours, and an innovative open access clinic for acute problems.

The department is nationally recognized for superb academic clinicians, as evidenced by our faculty being included among the Best Doctors in America national database.  A leader in patient satisfaction, we are one of the highest ranked clinics for patient satisfaction within the Medical Center and nationally.

Meet Devin Gibson.  This energetic 9-year-old has suffered from alopecia areata---a common illness triggering permanent hair loss---since birth. Treated over the years by local physicians, Devin was referred to Penn State Dermatology for advanced therapies.

Under the care of Dr. Jeffrey J. Miller, Devin has been successfully treated for the past 4 years. Research into hair disorders continues at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, offering new hope for patients just like Devin.
