Patient Portal Guide to Patient Portal

This website is dedicated to the local titans of dermatology: Milton Heard, Vernon Carter, Louis T. Nielsen, James Barrett and Kenneth Folsom, who cared for dermatology patients at the original Dermatology Associates of Boynton Beach over the last 45 years. I knew every one of these physicians personally and was given a tremendous opportunity to practice with them. Their retirement and/or passing ushered in a new era for me. I am deeply grateful to all of those physicians and look forward to caring for you at Nielsen Dermatology. Our practice offers patients a full line of general dermatology services and treatments, and also is home to a skilled dermatopathologist who can assist in the diagnosis of skin cancer from skin biopsies!

"He spotted what I thought was a very small pimple on my forehead. It turned out to be cancerous so he sent me to a very good Mohs specialist. I had only gone to see Dr. Nielsen for a check up and thought the tiny pimple was nothing. Good thing I had that check up"
