Our Physician-Led Medical Team

Expert Dermatology and Aesthetic Providers Serving the Greater Houston Area

At Elite Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, our providers practice medicine the way it should be practiced: led by board-certified physicians, guided by evidence, and focused entirely on patient outcomes.

Our physicians trained at world-renowned institutions such as Yale, Harvard, Baylor College of Medicine, Johns Hopkins, and Tulane, bringing that depth of experience to every visit. Working together across medical dermatology, pediatric dermatology, Mohs surgery, cosmetic dermatology, and plastic surgery, they design thoughtful, individualized treatment plans rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

From acne, eczema, and skin cancer to facial rejuvenation and body contouring, our specialists collaborate closely so you benefit from the full spectrum of options—not just the limited services any single provider can offer. Every diagnosis, procedure, and surgical plan is guided by clinical expertise, attention to detail, and a commitment to safety and natural-looking results.

The Elite Difference: Physician-Owned. Board-Certified. Comprehensive. Collaborative.

In an increasingly fragmented and impersonal healthcare environment, Elite Dermatology & Plastic Surgery offers a different kind of experience: comprehensive, team-based care led by board-certified experts.

  • Clinical decisions are made by physicians, not investors.
  • Treatment plans prioritize long-term health over patient volume.
  • Highly trained specialists in dermatology, dermatopathology, Mohs surgery, and plastic surgery.
  • Integrated treatment planning that can include medical therapy, in-office procedures, and surgery.

Because our team spans so many subspecialties, we can help you understand the full range of appropriate options and choose the path that best aligns with your goals, lifestyle, and tolerance for downtime.

I had a great experience! Everyone was so kind and made me feel very comfortable. I barely felt any pain, and the doctor and anesthesiologist were both amazing. The follow-up was excellent too—they kept checking on me and sending messages. I’m very happy with the care I received and would definitely recommend them!

Great experience!! First time I have been there. Everybody was so nice!! The office is gorgeous and inviting. All the employees dressed professionally and were friendly. I just loved it. My Dr Workman was very knowledgeable of my condition. She explained a couple options for me to choose from. And we discussed my follow up visit. I was a little skeptical about this consult because I'm African American and my hair is thick like a poodle. But, that Dr Workman, exam my scalp and knew exactly what it was. My treatment required a special concoction of medication that will be delivered to my home. I'm very pleased and will definitely recommend Elite Dermatology to anyone looking for knowledgeable Dermatologist. I'll update during my treatment.
