Our take: The recent reviews we read are strongly positive and focus on one doctor, but the 4.0 reflects a visible share of low ratings overall. The Saturday hours are a real draw.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

What the scores mean

The scores use public Google data from the verified date. Rating is the live star average. Review volume is how many patients rated the practice, compared with other Albuquerque dermatologists. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating from thousands of people carries more weight than one from a few dozen. Recency shows whether people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does a dermatology visit cost in Albuquerque?

Costs depend on whether you have insurance, whether the visit is medical or cosmetic, and whether a biopsy or procedure is needed. Cosmetic treatments are usually not covered by insurance. We found no published prices in the data for these practices, so ask what a first visit costs and what your plan covers.

Skin care across Albuquerque

These practices sit on the northeast side, on Kaseman Ct NE, Alameda Blvd NE and Academy Rd NE. If you are searching for a dermatologist near me, each listing shows a live phone number so you can ask about wait times for new patients before you book.

Questions before your first appointment

  • How long is the wait for a new patient, and is there a sooner option for a changing mole?
  • Will I see the physician or a nurse practitioner or physician assistant?
  • Do you take my insurance for medical and cosmetic visits?
  • Can biopsies and minor procedures be done in this office?
  • How are test results shared with me?

Frequently asked questions

How were these dermatologists chosen?

We started with Albuquerque dermatology practices that have a public Google profile and ordered them by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. The scoring section above explains each measure.

Are these rankings paid?

Businesses marked Featured Partner have a paid listing with us. Ratings and review counts are the real Google numbers and are never edited.

When was this information last verified?

The data on this page was verified in October 2026. We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Does a 4.0 rating mean a dermatologist is a poor choice?

Not on its own. A rating blends every review ever left, so read the recent ones too. The recent reviews we read for High Desert Dermatology are warm, though its overall average is lower than the other practices here.

Should I see a dermatologist or a nurse practitioner?

Many practices, including Epiphany Dermatology, staff both. Ask the office who will examine you and when a physician is involved.

Final word

Epiphany Dermatology is the safe default for a full-service team, Rio Grande Dermatology suits routine skin checks, and High Desert Dermatology is the one to call if you need a Saturday slot. Ask about wait times and insurance before you book.
