This is the question that dermatologists ask me all the time to gauge how much they can reasonably expect to make as a dermatology intern. I explain that dermatologists are paid for providing treatment to the general population, and most of the time, the treatment is to treat the skin, not the hair. While that might be true, it isn’t really relevant. What’s relevant is how much a dermatologist will be paid.
The typical dermatologist works for a large company, but they arent typical company. Most are on call 24/7 and have an office that isnt open until 8pm, which means that they arent really available until 8pm. They are paid either the same as a salaried employee, or a little below it. It depends on their location and the type of work they do. There are many dermatologists of all types in this country.
The doctor who does the job of a dermatologist isnt really a dermatologist. He/she is just a doctor who is supposed to have experience. As a doctor, the job is about curing diseases and skin problems. What a dermatologist does is to look at skin problems and treat them. There is a distinction between the two. A dermatologist is a doctor who has training and is allowed to perform a certain type of surgery in his/her specialty.
And the doctor who actually does the surgery is a dermatologist. A dermatologist is a doctor who actually does the surgery.
A dermatologist is a doctor who is licensed to perform surgery in one’s specialty because of training and experience. Not everyone is a doctor, though. Some are simply a “regular” doctor who does not have the training or experience to be a dermatologist. In that case, a dermatologist is a doctor who does not prescribe surgery, only performs it.
An example of a dermatologist being a doctor who does not prescribe surgery is Dr. Phil Jackson, the actor and former head of dermatology at Duke University Medical Center. Dr. Phil Jackson has a doctorate in dermatology and that is what makes him a dermatologist. He does not prescribe any specific surgical procedures or treatment for his patients.
Well, if you have experience, then a dermatologist can make you a dermatologist, and you might even think that you’re a dermatologist. But this is simply incorrect. A dermatologist is a medical professional who does not prescribe surgery. But in the real world, a dermatologist is a doctor who performs only cosmetic surgery.
Yes, a dermatologist does prescribe surgery for patients and even some people who are not physically present can be treated with surgery, but that does not mean that a dermatologist is a doctor or a surgeon.
A dermatologist is a doctor who makes a diagnosis of skin disorders. When a patient presents with an exam, a dermatologist will then determine the cause of the skin disease and provide a treatment plan.
In the real world there are doctors who focus on cosmetic surgery only. Doctors who specialize in cosmetic surgery are referred to as plastic surgeons. Plastic surgeons perform many procedures, including breast augmentation, lipo-liposuction, and facelifts. In the real world, only doctors who are also surgeons can perform cosmetic surgery. Doctors who are not surgeons are referred to as dermatologists.
