DENVER — U.S. Dermatology Partners(“USDP”), formerly known as Dermatology Associates, is pleased to announce that it has entered the state of Colorado by partnering with the Center for Advanced Dermatology (“CAD”). CAD has a team of three physicians on staff, all of whom are board-certified, and together they have over forty years of experience in dermatology. U.S. Dermatology Partners is a physician-owned, dermatology-focused practice management organization.
Dr. Michaela McDonnell, a graduate of the University of Iowa College of Medicine, completed her internship at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Denver. After her internship, she returned to the University of Iowa College of Medicine for her dermatology residency training.

He completed his internship at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and his dermatology residency training at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Dr. Hurt’s professional specialties include dermatologic surgery, skin cancer screening and treatments, acne, eczema, and psoriasis. In addition, he specializes in a wide array of cosmetic and surgical procedures. Dr. Hurt is professionally affiliated with several medical associations, including the American Academy of Dermatology, Colorado Dermatologic Society, and the Colorado Medical Society, among others.
Dr. Kira R. Giovanielli earned her undergraduate degree from Princeton University and her medical degree from the Yale University School of Medicine.
