PHOENIX — U.S. Dermatology Partners (“USDP”), formerly known as Dermatology Associates, is pleased to announce that it has expanded further in the state of Arizona by partnering with North Valley Dermatology in Peoria (a major suburb of Phoenix). U.S. Dermatology Partners is a physician-owned, dermatology-focused practice management organization.
North Valley Dermatology was founded in 1986 by Dr. Mary Fredenberg and offers a full suite of dermatological treatments including general, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology, as wells as Mohs micrographic surgery. North Valley Dermatology has a team of four board-certified physicians and four physician assistants on staff. Adjacent to the North Valley Dermatology medical office is its spa, Original Skin, which offers an array of aesthetic services to complement its full suite of medical dermatology offerings.
Dr. Mary Fredenberg began her dermatology practice after completing her residency in 1986. She holds a B.S. in Microbiology from Arizona State University and attended medical school at the University of Arizona. She completed her Internal Medicine internship with Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ in 1983 and her Dermatology residency at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago, IL in 1986. Dr. Fredenberg has been board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology since 1986.
Dr. Theresa Magne joined North Valley Dermatology in 1995 after completing her residency in Dermatology at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago, IL. She attended medical school at the University of Illinois College of Medicine and completed an internship in Internal Medicine at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, IL. She has been board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology since 1995.
Dr. Douglas Heiner is a board-certified and fellowship-trained dermatologic surgeon who specializes in Mohs surgery, laser and cosmetic dermatology, and reconstructive surgery. He received his medical degree magna cum laude from the University of Texas School of Medicine at Galveston and completed his residency in Dermatology at Boston University at Roger Williams Medical Center. Following residency, Dr. Heiner completed a fellowship in Mohs and dermatologic surgery sanctioned by the American College of Mohs Surgery.
Dr. Adam Sorensen received his medical degree at the Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kirksville, MO in 2009. Following his initial medical training, Dr. Sorensen went on to complete a one-year internship followed by a two-year residency and board-certification in Internal Medicine at the Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, WA. Dr. Sorensen later went on to complete three years of Dermatology residency training at the Lake Erie Consortium for Osteopathic Medical Training in Mesa, AZ, focusing on both medical and surgical dermatology.
Joining the physicians of North Valley Dermatology are their four highly-experienced physician assistants: Lisa Greenan, PA-C; Julie Taubert, PA-C; Haley Meier, PA-C; and Elizabeth Penfold, PA-C.
“As we expand throughout the Valley, Drs.
