Two members decided to focus their careers on something that is more than just skin deep. Tina Snodgrass, ARNP-C and Sandra Cox, ARNP-C specialize in dermatology from both the medical and the aesthetic aspect of the discipline. They work for Owensboro Dermatology Associates in Owensboro, Kentucky.

When asked why she chose to specialize in dermatology, Cox said that she enjoyed being a nurse practitioner in dermatology, because she has the distinct opportunity of being able to work with patients from a medical and a surgical perspective.

Cox said, “Combining diagnostic skills and patient care with the more technical expertise gives me great satisfaction. It gives me a sense of accomplishment to be able to address a spectrum of skin issues from the patient with cosmetic concerns to patients with very serious skin disease such as basal cell and squamous skin cancers and melanomas.”

Snodgrass said, “I was Board Certified in Family Practice and find Dermatology just as fulfilling as I found Family Practice. I love Dermatology, because after ten years of practice my patient population has grown to include entire families. I am honored to see returning patients every year as they come in for their annual skin cancer screenings or mole examinations.”

Snodgrass added that through her specific training and experience treating patients medically and cosmetically with lasers, she has been able to help some patients gain self confidence and feel better emotionally and physically.

Both NPs provide patient care that not only includes diagnosing and treating chronic skin conditions but also educating and counseling the public about dermatology. They perform physical exams, biopsies, excisions, and cosmetic procedures. Both strive to make a positive impact in people’s health and in their quality of life through their daily interactions with patients and customers and by being involved in community projects and education.

Snodgrass said, “There are so many elements that go into healthy skin, and it’s a pleasure to share this experience and information with people. It’s exciting to work one-on-one with patients, finding the unique solutions that work.”

Cox and Snodgrass said that they continue to gain additional education augmenting their medical knowledge and technical skills so that they “can give the best care possible.”
