5 Best Dermatologists in Seattle (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Elara Kestrel
By Elara Kestrel, Health and Medical Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

A dermatologist in Seattle can mean anything from a routine mole check to a cosmetic consult, and the practices clustered around First Hill and South Lake Union have piled up a genuinely lopsided review count: one has logged over 2,600 Google reviews while the smallest on this page sits under 200. That's not a small gap, and it says something about how long each practice has actually been building trust in the city.

Short answer: Modern Dermatology dominates with a 4.9 rating across 2,601 reviews, by far the deepest track record in Seattle, and was voted the PNW's top dermatology practice by The People's Choice in 2025 per its own site. Young Dermatology also holds 4.9 across 323 reviews. Spectrum Dermatology and Arboretum Dermatology round out the list at 4.3 and 4.7. All of them offer both medical and cosmetic dermatology.

Modern Dermatology

4.92,601 Google reviews

Modern Dermatology is a multi-physician practice on Mercer Street offering medical, surgical, and aesthetic dermatology under doctors including James C. Collyer, Heather D. Rogers, and Richard B. Grabowski. Its own site states it was voted the region's top dermatology practice by The People's Choice in 2025, and it offers online booking alongside in-person visits.

What people praise

  • Patients describe two-decade relationships with the same physicians, including through repeated Mohs procedures
  • Multiple named doctors (Dr. Rogers, Dr. Grabowski, Dr. Collyer) praised individually across different review eras
  • Front-desk and nursing staff consistently described as warm and unhurried
  • Booking well in advance is common, which patients say reflects demand rather than disorganization

Worth knowing

  • Appointments book out well ahead, so this isn't the practice for a same-week visit

#2🕑 Open 4 days/wk

Young Dermatology, PLLC

4.9323 Google reviews

Young Dermatology, led by Dr. Alison Z. Young, is a smaller First Hill practice covering medical dermatology, dermatopathology, hair loss, autoimmune skin conditions, psoriasis, and eczema. Dr. Young is a board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist and a Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, per the practice's own site, and has been recognized by Seattle Magazine and Seattle Metropolitan Magazine as one of the city's top doctors.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe relationships with Dr. Young stretching nine or more years
  • Thorough exams with clear, understandable explanations, mentioned repeatedly
  • Staff continuity, with patients recognized by name even on infrequent visits
  • Nurse Angie specifically praised for easing first-time cosmetic procedure anxiety

Worth knowing

  • One long-time patient described the front-desk experience as short with them on a recent visit, distinct from their praise for Dr. Young's own care

Our take: The second-deepest review base in Seattle, and reviewers consistently point to Dr. Young by name rather than the practice generically.

Spectrum Dermatology of Seattle (First Hill) logo

Spectrum Dermatology of Seattle (First Hill)

4.3377 Google reviews

Spectrum Dermatology of Seattle operates from First Hill and University Village, offering medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology under a team that includes Dr. Paula D. Zook and Dr. Victoria Orfaly, alongside physician assistants. Its own site describes itself as dermatology-only, treating patients of all ages for skin cancer, acne, hair loss, psoriasis, and rashes as well as cosmetic services.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe Annie (aesthetic injector) taking extra time to build comfort with first-time filler patients
  • Dr. Zook specifically praised for fitting patients in same-day for follow-up concerns
  • Multiple providers named individually across positive reviews (Dr. Cooper, Dr. Zook)

Worth knowing

  • The practice has both MD dermatologists and physician assistants on staff; if seeing a specific credential type matters to you, confirm who you're booked with
  • A cosmetic filler review and a lower-rated review sit close together, so it's worth reading a spread of recent reviews before booking

Linnell Dermatology and Aesthetics

4.568 Google reviews

Linnell Dermatology and Aesthetics was founded in 2021 by Dr. Erica Linnell, a board-certified dermatologist, offering lasers, injectables, medical dermatology, and aesthetician services from a First Hill office. Its own site describes over 15 years of combined medical and aesthetic dermatology experience among its staff.

What people praise

  • Reviewers describe PA Annie Dang as attentive to specific patient goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach
  • Dr. Linnell praised for thorough explanations and running on schedule
  • Patients mention continuous support across multi-year acne and skin infection treatment

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer described an insurance mismatch discovered only on arrival, worth confirming ahead of time
  • Smallest review base on this page, so the rating carries less weight than the others

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.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average for each practice. Review volume measures how many patients have actually left a rating, weighed against other dermatology practices we found across Seattle. Confidence blends the two, so a strong rating built on thousands of reviews scores above the same rating built on a couple hundred. Recency tracks how recently people are still reviewing, a sign the practice is actively operating as described. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What does seeing a dermatologist cost in Seattle? (2026)

Cost depends on whether the visit is medical (often partly covered by insurance) or cosmetic (typically out of pocket), and on the specific procedure. None of the practices on this page publish a fixed price list we could verify independently, so we’re not printing figures. Confirm your specific insurance plan is accepted at the office before booking, since more than one practice on this page has had reviewers flag insurance surprises.

Serving all of Seattle

These practices cluster around First Hill, South Lake Union, and the Central District, covering patients across greater Seattle including the Arboretum and University Village neighborhoods. If you’re searching for a dermatologist near me in Seattle, note that a couple of these practices run a second location in University Village.

What to ask before you book a dermatologist

  • Will I see a board-certified dermatologist, or a physician assistant or nurse practitioner?
  • Is my specific insurance plan accepted at this location?
  • How far out are new patient appointments typically booked?
  • Is this a medical visit, a cosmetic one, or both, and how does that affect what I’ll pay?
  • If lab work like a biopsy is sent out, will I be billed separately by a third party?
  • What’s the practice’s policy on same-day or urgent follow-up concerns?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these practices?

We pulled dermatology practices in Seattle with a public Google Business profile, then ranked by rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google review data verified in July 2026. We refresh listings periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do these practices offer both medical and cosmetic dermatology?

Yes, based on each practice’s own service listings, all of them offer both medical care (acne, eczema, skin cancer checks) and cosmetic services (Botox, fillers, laser treatments).

Is it normal to see a physician assistant instead of a dermatologist?

Many dermatology practices use physician assistants and nurse practitioners alongside MDs. If seeing a specific credential matters to you, ask when you book.

The bottom line

Modern Dermatology’s review base dwarfs everyone else on this page and the sentiment holds up at that scale, making it the safe default. If you want a smaller, dermatology-only practice instead, Young Dermatology’s long patient relationships are worth a look. Either way, confirm your insurance and who you’ll actually see before the appointment.
