The 31 Best Dermatologists in Houston (2026)
Houston sits beside the largest medical center on earth, and its dermatology bench shows it: Texas Medical Center-affiliated physicians, Mohs surgeons, and cosmetic dermatologists spread from the Museum District through Memorial and out to the Woodlands corridor. Gulf Coast sun and humidity make skin-cancer screening and fungal and acne complaints the daily bread here. The practices below are ranked by Google rating weighted by review volume, and most offer both medical and cosmetic care.

Medical vs. cosmetic dermatology
Dermatologists handle two kinds of visits. Medical dermatology covers skin checks, changing moles, acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rashes; cosmetic dermatology covers lasers, injectables, and skin-quality treatments. Most practices above do both, but book the right visit type, and see a dermatologist promptly for any mole that is changing in size, shape, or colour, a spot that bleeds or won't heal, or a new growth. Those are screening visits, not cosmetic consultations, and they should never wait behind one.
