Gibran Shaikh, MD, FAAD
Board-certified dermatologist, digital-health clinical leader, and founder of Dermatologic Services, PLLC.
Dr. Gibran Shaikh is a board-certified dermatologist who provides comprehensive online consultations for patients seeking more time, more personalized guidance, and treatment beyond a standardized topical pathway.
He founded Dermatologic Services, PLLC to make direct specialist care easier to access while preserving the judgment, continuity, and individual attention of a traditional dermatologist-patient relationship.
How Dr. Shaikh approaches care
Good dermatology is not simply choosing a medication. It requires understanding the diagnosis, what the patient has already tried, the burden of treatment, likely side effects, long-term goals, and what is realistic for that person.
Visits are designed to give patients a clear explanation of their condition, reasonable treatment alternatives, and a plan that can be adjusted over time.
