Finding a Physician

There are several places you can go to help you find a doctor if you don't yet have one. Or if the doctor you are currently seeing is not a good fit for you. Obviously, your local phone book isn't a bad place to start. But there are also some online resources that are worth checking out. Here are some of our favorites.

The American Academy of Dermatology has a 'Find A Dermatologist' feature that only requires you to type in your zip code and the radius in miles around your home that you want them to search. You can also pick a specialty within dermatology, and 'Hair Disorders' is one of the options.
DermNet New Zealand also has a Dermatologist locator where you need only click on the map to find a dermatologist in your area.
The Australasian College of Dermatologists will help you find a Dermatologist near you, with some map clicking and scrolling. But they do point out that they cannot provide referrals to see these doctors, and that you will need to visit your GP to get your referral if one is required.
