Cookeville Dermatology
About Cookeville Dermatology in Cookeville, TN
Cookeville Dermatology is a board-certified dermatology practice led by Dr. Lisa M. Whiteaker, MD, FAAD, a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology who has been seeing patients in Cookeville since 2000. The practice is located at Perimeter Park Dr on the east side of the city, near Cookeville Regional Medical Center.
The clinic covers the full scope of dermatological care. Medical dermatology includes skin cancer screening and treatment, diagnosis and management of chronic skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne, as well as surgical procedures including biopsies and excisions. Cosmetic dermatology services are also available. For a region where the alternative is a long drive to Nashville, having a physician of Dr. Whiteaker's training and tenure available locally is a meaningful resource for Upper Cumberland residents.
A 4.8-star patient rating reflects what long-term patients describe consistently: thorough examinations, clear communication, and attentive follow-through. In a specialty where early detection often determines whether a situation requires a minor procedure or a major one, that kind of care matters. Annual full-body skin checks are recommended for all adults, particularly those with significant sun exposure history or a family history of skin cancer. Cookeville Dermatology is the right place to have them done without leaving the Upper Cumberland.
