Christopher Kowalczyk and Jillian Frieder
Medical and Cosmetic Dermatology
As both a board-certified cosmetic and medical dermatologist, Dr. Jillian Frieder values treating the whole person, from the inside/out.
“It is important to treat patients’ medical issues, from skin cancers to chronic skin conditions, of course,” she explains, “but patients also want to feel good about the way they look. It’s always nice to be able to do a simple cosmetic treatment which can have such a positive impact on someone’s life.”
Dr. Frieder has some exciting news to share — she has officially opened her third office in Pompano Beach and will continue to see patients in her Palm Beach Gardens and Boca Raton locations as well.
All three offices offer GentleCure™, a surgery-free treatment for certain types of skin cancers. “It’s a popular patient request and I’m happy we can provide this treatment.” says Dr. Frieder, “It’s 99% effective without the cutting, bleeding, wound care, or scarring and that’s because we’re not treating blindly. We use ultrasound to image the thickness of the skin cancer and determine if a patient is a good candidate.”
To meet growing demand, Dr. Frieder recently welcomed Christopher Kowalczyk, D.O., to the practice, known affectionately as “Dr. K.” He will perform skin surgeries and rotate between all three locations. “He shares my values about patient care,” says Dr. Frieder. “We both take our time with patients and provide very personalized care. We won’t rush you. Our practice feels like family and patients appreciate that.”
Dr. Frieder is optimistic about the future of dermatology. “AI is still in its infancy, but it’s exciting,” she says. “It can help us identify suspicious lesions, guide biopsies, and improve accuracy in diagnosing skin cancers and other conditions.”
According to Dr. Frieder, it is beneficial to have at least one skin check a year. “When it comes to full body checks, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about; we do this every day. Remember — when caught early, skin cancers are very treatable.”
What else makes her practice stand out? “We’re usually able to offer same day or same week appointments,” shares Dr. Frieder. “Patients can always reach us directly; we’re here when they need us.”
