Meet our new Fellows, Drs. Nicole Salame and John Peters

SkinCare Physicians is extending a warm welcome to our 2023/2024 fellows, Dr. Nicole Salame and Dr. John Peters, both board-certified dermatologists. They will be working with us to gain hands-on experience in all aspects of cosmetic and dermatologic surgery, as well as laser medicine. We look forward to a rich educational year and to their valuable contributions to our practice and research.
