Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin, the largest organ of the body; a specialty with both medical and surgical aspects. A dermatologist is a specialist doctor who manages skin diseases and deals with both internal and external causes and some cosmetic concerns involving the skin. Dermatological duties include taking consultations, providing screening tests, and undertaking non-invasive surgical procedures.
Recently, both Dr. Fridlington and her partner Dr. Rebecca Kelso were awarded Top Doctors 2020 in San Antonio.
In her time away from the office, she enjoys the constant adventures of raising 4 young children and the world’s two greatest German Short-Haired Pointers with her husband, as well as anything Jane Austen, crossfit, travel, and the occasional great meal with family and friends.
