Why patients choose us
Dr. Michael Peterson is board-certified in both dermatology and dermatopathology, and the practice runs its own lab. The specialist who examines the slide works under the same roof as the provider who took it, rather than at an outside lab you never hear from.
For certain basal and squamous cell skin cancers, Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy treats the spot right in our office — no incision, no stitches, no anesthesia. It is a real option for spots on the nose, ears and face, or for patients who would rather avoid surgery.

Same-day appointments mean a changing mole or a flaring rash doesn’t have to wait for a slot weeks away. If you can’t make the drive, a telehealth visit from your iPhone or Android puts you in front of a provider from home.

Cosmetic & laser
Fine lines, flat cheeks, dull or uneven skin — the things a dermatologist notices too. Our Springville medical spa offers Botox, Dysport and Xeomin, Restylane and Juvederm fillers, chemical peels, microneedling and facials, delivered inside a dermatology practice rather than a strip-mall spa. That means a medical team is down the hall for every treatment.
Learn more about medical spaSun spots, redness, broken capillaries, unwanted hair and old tattoos all respond to light — when the right device is matched to your skin. We offer laser resurfacing, IPL PhotoFacials, Clearlift, laser hair removal, tattoo removal and vein treatment in Springville, each planned by a dermatology team that knows how Utah’s high-altitude sun has already marked your skin.

Acne that won’t clear, eczema that flares every Utah winter, psoriasis plaques, a rash nobody can name — these need a diagnosis before they need a cream. A wrong call on acne or a rash can mean months on the wrong treatment, so our providers examine the skin first and confirm with allergy patch testing or a biopsy when the answer isn’t obvious. Treatment is then built around your skin, from prescription topicals to light therapy, PRP for hair loss and wart removal. Most first visits take 15 to 30 minutes.

A spot that bleeds, grows or changes color needs to be looked at by someone who sees skin cancer every day. Our team removes skin cancers, suspicious moles, cysts and lipomas in the office, and revises scars once they’ve healed. Because Dr. Peterson is also a dermatopathologist, your biopsy is read in-house — and when surgery isn’t the best fit, Image-Guided SRT offers a non-surgical path for many basal and squamous cell cancers.
