Derma is a privately owned dermatology practice off Perkins Road in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Dr. Chad Prather, MD founded Dermasurgery Center in 2008, building a trusted reputation for high-quality dermatologic care in South Louisiana. In 2017, Dermasurgery Center merged with Sanova Dermatology, where Dr. Prather continued his commitment to patient care. Now, he’s returning to his roots with the opening of Derma, offering the best of both worlds - comprehensive medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology, along with his expertise as a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon and dermatologist in the Baton Rouge area for advanced skin cancer treatment.
