“I decided to join Pinnacle Dermatology because I was spending too much time behind a computer and not enough time with patients. I admired their focus on providing quality care and the sense of community that was exhibited during my first meeting with Dr. Rios and Dr. Lapinski. I look forward to exponential growth in my practice while utilizing the plethora of resources that Pinnacle Dermatology has to offer and having my practice serve the community for years to come.”
Pinnacle Dermatology was established in 2004 under the solid partnership of board certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon Dr. Paula Lapinski and board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jose Rios. Since that time, it has grown to include more than 60 providers and more than 35 practice locations throughout the Midwest.
