A Baton Rouge Dermatology Practice, Reimagined.

derma is a privately owned dermatology practice off Perkins Road in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Dr. Chad Prather, MD founded Dermasurgery Center in 2008, building a trusted reputation for high-quality dermatologic care in South Louisiana.

Now, he’s returning to his roots with the opening of derma, offering the best of both worlds - comprehensive medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology, along with his expertise as the only fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon and dermatologist in the Baton Rouge area for advanced skin cancer treatment.
