Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I take my child to a pediatric dermatologist?

Pediatric dermatologists have specialized training in treating children's unique skin conditions. At Downtown Dermatology, we are known for expertise in treating children and creates a welcoming, safe environment for young patients. Children's skin is different from adult skin, and many conditions like eczema, birthmarks, and viral skin infections are more common in childhood.

At what age can you see my child?

We treat children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. Our doctors have extensive experience working with infants, toddlers, and adolescents, making each visit comfortable and stress-free for both parents and children.

How do you make children feel comfortable during visits?

Dr. Alvarez's mission is to create a welcoming and secure atmosphere for our youngest patients. We take time to explain procedures in age-appropriate ways, move at your child's pace, and work with parents to ensure a positive experience.

Do you offer services in Spanish?

Yes! Se habla Español. We're proud to serve our diverse community and can provide consultations and care in Spanish for your family's comfort.
