It is my pleasure to introduce Dr. Blauvelt to the practice. He is an experienced board-certified dermatologist with years of experience at the NIH as well as a staff dermatologist at Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU) until recently. He will be seeing patients one day per week starting September 2011, and is available to all general dermatology patients in our practice. He has an expertise in psoriasis management, but welcomes all sorts of skin, hair, and nails issues in his new private practice here at KDA. New and established patients will be offered appointments with him. For those of you who have an appointment with myself (Dr. Marla Klein) but it is further out than you like, consider seeing Dr. Blauvelt. I am very excited and happy about this new development for the practice. 
Welcome to the BLOG section
Greetings! Many of our patients are familiar with the web site, but now we have just added something new…..this blog. My goal is to check in here about once a week to see what is happening. Personally, as a physician, I’m not sure this will be a long term item; but, I am willing to give it a try. My web site designer, Nick, thinks it is the thing to do…..so here we go!
Please keep in mind, we cannot use this area to answer medical questions or offer medical advice.
Since I haven’t done a newsletter for some time, I may use this area to update patients on current events in the office, new skin care products, new cosmetic dermatology procedures, etc.
I truly appreciate all the wonderful people who are patients in our practice, so stay posted.
