"For 10 years, this survey has offered valuable insights into what consumers are looking for in a cosmetic provider, and the 2023 results indicate that they continue to rank board certified dermatologists at the top of the list in multiple treatment categories. As physicians, we take great pride in providing medically sound information to help our patients make the best decisions for their unique skin health and aesthetic goals, and we recognize the gravity of our influence in that process. Our primary goal is patient safety and providing the best possible outcome, so it’s encouraging that these survey results reinforce those efforts.” —2022-23 ASDS President Vince Bertucci, MD, FRCPC
