About Amanda T. Moon, MD, FAAD
Pediatric dermatologist Amanda T. Moon, MD, takes a family-centered approach to her work with patients. As a parent, she understands what it’s like to have a child that needs medical attention. She loves working with children and families to find the best treatment options
Dr. Moon always wanted to be a pediatrician. She discovered her love of dermatology late in medical school. She decided to specialize in pediatric dermatology to combine both interests. She enjoys treating patients with all types of skin disorders, from a baby with a birthmark or infantile hemangioma, a toddler with warts and eczema, to a teenager with acne and psoriasis.
In addition to general pediatric dermatology, Dr. Moon specializes in lichen sclerosus and vulvar dermatoses.
Dr. Moon is also the Co-Director of Teledermatology. This service allows primary care providers to submit photographs for dermatologists to review, allowing quick access to specialty opinion. More information can be found here.
