Community, Dermatology, and Doing the Next Right Thing

Dr. Brad Black unpacks "Patient Care First"

In this episode of Thanks for Doing That, Dr. Baack shares his story of becoming a dermatologist, launching Altitude Dermatology, and choosing to lead with values in an increasingly corporatized medical landscape. We talk about what makes dermatology so dynamic, how skin health impacts self-confidence, and why patient relationships are still the heart of healthcare.

You’ll also hear about:

  • The life-changing power of helping people feel good in their skin

  • Why Altitude Dermatology keeps tech out of the exam room

  • How his band Off Call became the live entertainment at my wedding (and why they still play for free!)

  • The quiet leadership of delegation and trust

  • How his faith has been an anchor during moments of uncertainty

  • A meaningful shoutout to Feed My Starving Children, a local movement with a global impact

Brad reminds us that great care isn’t just about procedures or prescriptions—it’s about showing up for people with curiosity, skill, and heart.

As always, I end with a custom haiku, just for him.
