Dermatology

At Nexus Health, we are proud to offer leading-edge care across the spectrum of healthcare specialties. Our dermatology clinic is led by Trisha Patel, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert in treating a wide range of skin, hair, and nail health disorders in both adults and children. Dr. Patel treats both cancerous and benign conditions.

Our dermatology clinic treats conditions including:

Cutaneous malignancies, which include skin cancers like melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell cancer. Like all cancer care, there is no “one size fits all” treatment—options will vary depending on the type and stage of skin cancer at diagnosis, as well as other factors. Our providers will meet with you and depending on your needs, will develop a personalized treatment plan to help address concerns.
Benign or noncancerous skin growths, which include warts, age spots, or cysts.
Alopecia, which is hair loss from the scalp or other areas of the body. This hair loss can be temporary or permanent and may be caused by hormonal changes, medical conditions, aging, or hereditary factors. Patients may experience a gradual thinning of the hair on top of their head, bald spots, full-body hair loss, or skin conditions like ringworm. If you are experiencing continual hair loss, treatment may be an option.
Inflammatory dermatoses, a group of skin conditions characterized by rashes, triggered by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or allergens. This can include dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, rashes from poison ivy or poison oak, or rashes as a side effect of medication. Our dermatology clinic can help you understand the cause and provide relief for these conditions.
Skin care, including skin evaluation and diagnosis. We provide a thorough examination of your skin, its history, and any areas of concern, including acne and moles.
Pediatric dermatology, which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions in children.

Dr. Patel’s advanced dermatology services are a valuable resource for those seeking comprehensive skin care. If you have any skin-related concerns, contact us at 505-477-2200 to make an appointment.

What our patients are saying

Dr. Scott Herbert, thank you for helping to give me more time. Saving lives is the most heroic work of all. I feel that I’ve been the luckiest person in the world… to have lived to almost 90 is a huge gift! Thank you for your part in that gift, and thanks to all the Nexus team.

Dear Scott,
as you know my dearest friend died on March 20th. My heart is broken, and these have been difficult days. One of the rays of light in the past few months has been you. Your home visit helped my friend cross over onto the path of palliative care and prepare for death with dignity. You have always amazed me with your insights and compassion for human life. Your presence moved me to tears. My friend deserved the best and you were the best person to help her. I miss her so much. Knowing you were with her brings comfort to my heart. Thank you for being you.

Dr. Snyder and wonderful staff, all of the best to you at this great looking and comfortable facility! Quoted from Oxford Dictionary, “Nexus, the central and most important point or place”. My family and I agree! Our thanks to you for all you have done over the years. Salud!

I saw Dr. Bulthuis for an ankle sprain/fracture. He explained the healing process of my ankle. I had been given conflicting information from other providers and he spent the time to explain why he gave me the plan he gave. He answered all my questions without being rushed. The staff was also efficient, professional, and attentive. I highly recommend Dr. Bulthuis and the staff. I left the office encouraged and with a clear plan.
