Company Profile
Southwestern Dermatology
Company Overview
Southwestern Dermatology is a private, well established general medical and surgical dermatology and Mohs practice under the clinical leadership of Carlos Garcia, M.D. Dr. Garcia is a well known and respected Mohs surgeon who completed his Mohs fellowship at Duke University. He trained numerous dermatology residents at the University of Oklahoma for more than a decade before finally returning to private practice.
Our team is comprised of four physician assistants and a medical esthetician in addition to Dr. Garcia. Our physician assistants say that they have an excellent teacher and a mentor in their professional relationships with Dr. Garcia as their supervising physician. He reviews journal articles, provides formal feedback, encourages dermatology specific continuing medical education and participation in the Oklahoma City Dermatological Society (which he heads up), and supports the creation of their own practices. We value the professional development and job satisfaction of our physician assistants.
Company History
Southwestern Dermatology was founded in 2012 after Dr. Garcia joined and absorbed a general medical dermatology practice which was established in 1978 in south Oklahoma City. The practice moved to a 20,000 square foot space several miles away from the original location about two years ago. The short term plan is to complete the remaining renovations to the new clinic. When those are finished, we will expand our offerings for cosmetic services and products. The long term goal is to recruit and onboard another like minded dermatologist (who will eventually take the helm) and additional mid level providers.
