Laser tattoo removal is considered the gold standard for the removal of unwanted tattoos and most tattoos can now be successfully removed with the latest laser technology. Whether your tattoo happens to be a (former) loved one’s name, the product of an ill-conceived night on the town, or something else, most tattoos are removable with the help of an experienced laser surgeon. The process of laser tattoo removal usually involves a number of treatment sessions to completely remove the tattoo. Some tattoos need more treatments than others and its necessary to schedule a consultation to discuss your tattoo and what may be needed to remove it.
Removing an unwanted tattoo is serious and requires an experienced physician. Tattoo removal patients are generally quite pleased with the results of their procedure but it’s important to have a consultation to understand what to expect. Each tattoo is unique and it’s impossible to know how many treatments or what the cost to remove the tattoo will be without seeing it in person. Call today to schedule a consultation to review your tattoo and discuss the laser tattoo removal process, possible cost, and other factors.

Dr. Derick is wonderful. My daughter has severe eczema and I went to Dr. Derick after numerous dissapointing, unsuccesful visits to her pediatrican (& others), and a bad flare up of my daughters eczema. We arrived to a very clean, impressive office, with very polite and professional staff. We were taken into a room where a nurse evaluated my daughter. It did take a while for Dr. Derick to finally get to our room, but once she came in, I was very pleased with the outcome. She was very detailed in her explanation of eczema, and explained more about it than any other doctor had that I met with. She diagnosed my daughter (confirming eczema), and suggested ways in which I could reduce the eczema. Again, at the time of my visit, my daughter had a severe flare up and we didn't know what to do anymore...we were at our wit's end. She gave us a few Rx's, gave us very detailed instructions & "tricks", and by the next day, my daughter's flare up was significantly decreased. I am so pleased with her, and when necessary, I will continue to go back.
