Meet The Woodruff Institute’s Downtown Naples Team

Posted on September 22, 2016

The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery recently opened a new dermatology office in downtown Naples. Patients will enjoy the same professionalism and service as in all of The Woodruff Institute’s locations.

The new location allows them to offer their dermatology services – including skin cancer diagnosis and treatment – to more Southwest Florida area patients. Existing clients living in or near downtown Naples or Marco Island, will be better served, while new patients will benefit from the convenience of the downtown setting. In addition to providing a full scope of medical and cosmetic dermatology for all ages, the office is offering a full line of skin care products, medical spa services, and TruSculpt– the latest innovation in non-surgical fat removal.

The Woodruff Institute’s providers want you and your family to feel comfortable and strive to provide the best experience possible. Please take this opportunity to learn more about the skin care team at The Woodruff Institute’s downtown Naples location.
