Having 30 years’ experience in dermatology, Dr. Berne’s clinical focus lies within the natural aging of our skin, and the specialized care and management of skin concerns in our geriatric population. Though Dr. Berne’s primary focus is Geriatric Dermatology, his expertise extends to patients aged 18 and above. As an advocate for his field, Dr. Berne is a member of the Geriatric Dermatology Expert Resource Group, the American Geriatric Society, and the Skin of Color Society, all of which contribute to his commitment to advancing dermatological care for seniors.
Geriatric dermatology is a specialized focus that concentrates on the natural aging process of senior adults. This area emphasizes the unique challenges and age-related factors that contribute to the skin health of older adults. Natural aging produces various changes in our skin that affect is health and appearance. Many of these changes are noted by the effects of sun damage, inflammatory conditions, and chronic dry / itchy skin. Geriatric dermatologists are dedicated to helping elderly patients achieve and maintain healthy skin into their golden years.
Along with a variety of other mature skin issues, Dr. Berne treats:
Unfortunately, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the U.S. The primary cause is exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, whether outdoors or in tanning booths. Early detection of skin cancer is the key to effective treatment – 99% of skin cancers are treatable when caught in the beginning. Our team is great at detecting skin cancer before it becomes a bigger problem and treating effectively.
Acne is the most common skin issue in the U.S., with over 50 million Americans affected each year. Severe acne can cause low self-esteem, especially during teenage and early adult years. If you suffer from acne, we offer the latest treatments to give you the beautiful skin you want.
There are a number of common, non-cancerous skin growths that can appear on your skin, including moles, cysts, skin tags and more. These are harmless most of the time, but if you notice growths that are changing, itching or bleeding, it’s important to have them evaluated. Growths can usually be removed if they become painful or you simply don’t like the way they look.

What should I expect during my initial consultation?
Your first visit begins with a consultation with your board-certified dermatologist.

We will customize both a treatment plan and a skin care regimen if desired. Important pre- and post-treatment instructions will also be provided to accompany most treatments.

What is the difference between a deductible, copay and coinsurance?
All three are medical charges you must pay out of your own pocket, even if you have insurance. Deductibles are a specific amount you must accumulate and pay each year of covered health services before benefits are provided by your carrier. Plans may also have separate individual and family deductibles and/or deductibles for separate services. Copayments are a set fee the member pays to providers at the time services are provided. Copays are applied to office visits, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, etc. Coinsurance is a form of cost sharing. After your deductible has been met, plan will begin paying a percentage of your bills. The remaining amount, known as co-insurance, is the portion due by the patient.
How does your patient portal work?
With our patient portal, you can access and manage your appointments, get test results, update your contact/patient information and pay your bills online. Speak with one of our team members for how to gain access to your patient portal.

Any lesions of concern will be noted by your doctor and treatment options may be discussed.

If you suffer from eczema, it’s important to remember these irritants and try to track what is causing an outbreak. You should also investigate the ingredients of your shampoos, body washes, lotions and creams. For example, many shampoos and skin lotions use a substance called cocamidopropyl betaine as a thickener to make them more appealing to consumers. For this reason, many patients with eczema must look for soaps, skin creams and cosmetics that do not contain these eczema irritants. You can work in partnership with your dermatologist to identify which substances in these products irritate your eczema so that you can select the best options for your situation.

When should I talk to a doctor about my warts?
If you have struggled with warts in the past, you may be wondering what exactly would warrant a visit to your dermatologist, as most warts go away without treatment. However, some warts can become red and swollen. Your wart may also become painful to touch. If these symptoms occur, you should call your doctor and get the wart checked. You should also seek treatment if you notice bleeding or oozing from the wart.
