For 20 years, Memorial Clinical Associates has provided quality, primary health care to Houston. That included skin care. But in 2005, Memorial Clinical Associates decided to use its experience and scholarship in dermatology to open a specialized dermatology clinic. MCA Cosmetic Dermatology Center opened that year. Two core values separate MCA from other cosmetic dermatology clinics in Houston. One, all of our procedures – whether melanoma treatment or microdermabrasion – are administered or overseen by a medical doctor certified in dermatology. Two, we are dedicated to treating you, the patient – not just your condition. That way, you not only leave MCA with healthy skin, you leave feeling better about your appearance and yourself.
