\nMerger Creates Leading Dermatology Practice in Southwest U.S.<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–WestDerm<\/a> and Platinum Dermatology Partners<\/a> (\u201cPlatinum\u201d) announced a partnership to merge and become an industry-leading dermatology group practice organization focused on being the partner of choice for physicians across the Southwest. The newly merged organization now includes 170 physicians and over 300 total providers who practice across more than 100 locations in Arizona, California, Nevada and Texas.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nBy joining forces, both organizations will be better together as they work to advance care for millions of patients, build an elite community for dermatologists to practice, and expand opportunities for team members to grow their careers. The merger was completed on June 17, 2022.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re very excited about joining forces. The combination of WestDerm and Platinum creates a dynamic community for dermatologists to practice medicine,\u201d said CEO Brian Stern, which also had five of its physicians named to Newsweek\u2019s list of America\u2019s Best<\/a> Medical and Cosmetic Dermatologists in 2022. \u201cWe look forward to advancing clinical care in dermatology while simultaneously increasing access to patient care.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cCombining forces with WestDerm enables both groups to provide more resources to better serve our physicians and expand our network,\u201d said Michael Pennington, President of Platinum. \u201cWe believe the best clinical and business outcomes are achieved through partnership and alignment between management and physicians. This merger furthers Platinum\u2019s objective to expand our model in a way that is fundamentally good for the specialty.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe\u2019re better together,\u201d said Mitchel Goldman, M.D., Medical Director at WestDerm and a renowned, board-certified dermatologist who has pioneered numerous innovations in dermatology. \u201cAs a combined organization, we\u2019ll have a deeper team of clinical experts. Our physicians will be able to share knowledge and actively learn from one another, which will improve clinical outcomes.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAnthony Petelin, M.D., Phoenix-based board-certified dermatologist, and board member of Platinum adds, \u201cToday\u2019s news is significant for the specialty of dermatology. In addition to expanding our care to patients in the communities we serve, we\u2019ll also increase our collective capabilities with some of the foremost thought leaders in dermatology.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
