Pediatric dermatologist Amanda 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.
Dr. Moon is excited about the future of pediatric dermatology. Advancements in genetics are revealing the underlying causes of many diseases. New, targeted therapies for conditions, including eczema, are on the horizon.
Dr. Moon works with CHOP's teledermatology service, MyDerm E-Visits. The service allows patients to consult with dermatology doctors online. It is an easy, affordable and convenient way to reach doctors faster.
