Welcome to Elk Grove Dermatology! The practice offers state-of-the art dermatology in a very friendly setting. This has been accomplished by our exceptional staff and ongoing commitment to research, training and patient convenience. Dr. Polisky is board certified in dermatology and internal medicine.

The doctor is a microbiologist (Univ. of Illinois). This training is very helpful in structuring safe antibiotic and antibiotic free approaches to treating complexion disorders. The doctor attends worthwhile, scientific meetings such as the American Academy of Dermatological Surgery. An early proponent of office based laser therapy, Dr. Polisky has obtained the latest generation of co 2 laser. “These new lasers emit a softer and more diffuse beam giving better results and faster healing times.” Our instruments and equipment are of the very highest quality and we constantly upgrade our surgical and laser facility.

Dr. Polisky has refined the use of glycolic products for the skin including the development of an innovative light skin peel. Unique simple approaches have been developed to improve acne scarring and skin contour problems (scar micro-excision, silk touch laser) as well.

Believing that medical care is as much art as it is science, Dr. Polisky has accepted invitations to train with national leaders in dermatology. This has allowed him to gain an inside look at the most advanced procedures from those who helped develop them.

We are pleased to offer our patients a new and exciting 3D patient education library. This is an extensive 3D library of skin treatments and conditions where you can view skin treatment procedures step by step and learn more about specific skin conditions in 3D animation.

Elk Grove Dermatology offers CareCredit to make it easier for our patients to get the services they want – when they want them. You can conveniently pay over time with no interest or low interest payment plans that fit comfortably into your lifestyle and budget.

We are proud of our 18 year veteran employees!! You will be working with a nurse and physician assistant at times. They are involved in patient education and some aspects of your treatment plan. We also have a loyal derm alumni club. The staff is called the Dermettes and they have a “get it done” attitude. New staff members like the hard working but relaxed atmosphere. Yearly the Dermettes have a spring fling at the Lincolshire Marriot for a play and dinner compliments of Dr. P.

The office has rules and regulations that, without being stiff, keep your visit private and well run. The staff periodically upgrades skills and learns new technologies such as our Nextech software for scheduling or our Visia facial analysis unit. The staff is uniformed and they wear name badges with the EGD logo. Uniform color changes seasonally.

We are fortunate to receive compliments about our staff on a very regular basis. We frequently hear that our staff took a personal interest in getting a patient a prompt appointment, explaining a difficult problem or going to extra lengths to reasonably iron out even the most difficult problem.
