About Us
The Department of Dermatology has been serving Utah’s patient population since 1972, starting with one physician, Dr. Gerald Krueger. Today, with twenty-five faculty, the Department has become the largest clinical, research, and educational facility of Dermatology in the Intermountain West.
The success of our clinical services is reflected by steady growth.
Today, our clinics not only offer a wide range of services, but cover a diverse geographical area.
