Rochester's Premier Independent Dermatology Practice
Board-certified dermatology and fellowship-trained Mohs surgery with concierge-level care. Experience shorter wait times, direct provider communication, and the highest standard of dermatologic treatment.
About Our Practice
Founded in 2023, Dermatology Partners PLLC was established with a singular mission: to bring personalized, concierge-level dermatologic care to Rochester, Minnesota and the communities we serve.
As Rochester's first independent dermatology practice, we offer a meaningful alternative to large health system clinics. Our patients benefit from direct access to their providers, shorter wait times, and individualized treatment plans — care that is truly tailored to the individual, not the institution.
Our practice is led by Dr. Kevin N. Christensen, a Harvard-educated physician, Mayo Clinic–trained dermatologist, and MD Anderson–trained Mohs surgeon who is double board certified in dermatology and Mohs micrographic surgery, with over 15,000 cases performed. Alongside him, Laura Graner, PA-C brings extensive experience in general dermatologic care. Together, they pair elite training and clinical expertise with a warm, patient-centered approach that defines Dermatology Partners.
