Richard J. Ashack, M.D.
Board Certified, Dermatology

Dear Patient,
The field of dermatology is constantly changing. Many of the new treatments
now available can alleviate skin conditions that cause discomfort, are unhealthy
or unattractive.

I want to help you get the best of what today’s medicine has to offer. To do so,
I’m constantly monitoring the latest developments in my field and bringing them
to my patients. Laser and skin cancer surgery, pediatric dermatology and cosmetic dermatology are all areas I specialize. As my patient, you’ll be treated with
compassion, understanding and skill. During your appointment I’ll explain your
condition and welcome your questions.

I enjoy teaching, therefore I occasionally have residents in my office training under
my supervision. Throughout the year I do several lectures to other physician groups
about what’s new in dermatology and therapies.

Before Grand Rapids became my home, I was born in Chicago and raised in Lansing,
Michigan where I graduated with the first class from Lansing Catholic Central High
School. After graduating from Central Michigan University, I spent over 7 years in
research for Dow Pharmaceuticals both in Midland, Michigan and Indiana; I also
attended Butler University where I earned my Master's degree in Pharmacology.
I completed my medical school education and residency in dermatology at Indiana
University Medical Center.

Dr. Ashack and his wife, Patti, are tremendously proud of their two sons and deeply involved in their many activities. His personal interests include golf, gardening, boating, Big Ten Basketball and NFL football.
