MAITLAND, Fla., Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery has announced that Southwest Florida-based Florida Skin Center – the practice founded by Anais Aurora Badia, MD, DO, FAAD – has joined its brand family of more than 150 offices nationwide.

"In fact, by forging this alliance with Advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, we will get to spend more time doing what we love – caring for our patients, and less time on back-office tasks and paperwork. We get the added benefit of being part of an organization that is able to test and deploy emerging technologies and participate in leading-edge clinical research for concerns such as skin cancer, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, and acne."
