Berkeley, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/17/2011 -- Albany Dermatology offers practical health information on its website that supports the needs of its patients and members of the Albany community.  Located in a comfortable, state-of-the-art office in Albany, GA. Albany Dermatology Clinic, P.A., is a comprehensive dermatology practice, providing full range of medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatologic services for all skin types.

Surveys have shown that U.S. adults frequently search online for health information, but are frustrated by the large volume of information they find from questionable sources. A majority of health consumers state that they would prefer to get that information directly from their own doctor. Unfortunately, a majority of physicians report finding it difficult to provide education during an office visit and most medical practice websites lack health information.

Albany Dermatology understands the importance of patient education (http://www.vivacare.com) and has taken measures to improve clinical care and patient satisfaction. It now provides its patients with convenient, online access to educational resources on its own practice website.

Melinda Greenfield, M.D., is a board certified dermatologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of the skin, hair and nails. Her additional areas of expertise include cutaneous surgery, Botox, Fillers, leg vein treatment (sclerotherapy) and other cosmetic procedures.

Rooney, M.D., PC, is Board Certified in Dermatology, with expertise in the specialty of Dermatologic Surgery and Mohs Micrographic Surgery.  He is fellowship-trained, and has had over 10 years experience in precision removal of skin cancers with Mohs Micrographic Surgery, and with cosmetic repair.  He was Chief Resident in Dermatology at the Mayo Clinic, received his fellowship training at Emory University, and has been in continuous practice of Cutaneous Oncology since that time.
