About the Practice

Our dermatology practice is unique. Dr. Elisabeth Richard specializes in the treatment of inflammatory dermatologic disorders with a comprehensive approach, in a caring environment.

The practice offers treatment using ultraviolet light, Narrowband UVB phototherapy, including XTRAC excimer laser therapy, and PUVA phototherapy. These are treatments for psoriasis, eczema and itch, vitiligo and other less common inflammatory skin conditions including but not limited to cutaneous T cell lymphoma, lichen planus, morphea, and photosensitivity.

In addition to light and laser based therapies, the practice utilizes a broad range of medical therapeutics for complex inflammatory dermatologic diseases including psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo with a focus on the use of new and novel therapeutics, both oral and injectable (i.e. biologic).

The practice also offers Candela VBeam Perfecta pulse dye laser therapy for rosacea, port wine stains and spider veins/cherry angiomas on the skin. In addition, patients with sensitivity to sunlight are seen for evaluation, testing and treatment.

Dr. Elisabeth Richard has been with the practice since 2009. The practice was founded in 1985 by Dr. Warwick Morison.  Drs. Richard and Morison worked together to care for patients until his retirement in 2015.
