Our Providers’ Qualifications
Every provider at Clarus Dermatology practices under the leadership of Dr. Neil A. Shah, a board-certified dermatologist who completed his dermatology residency at the University of Minnesota and a fellowship in Mohs micrographic surgery. Our physician assistants hold advanced certifications in dermatology and bring years of specialized experience to patient care.
This commitment to physician-led, evidence-based medicine is what sets Clarus apart — and it’s especially important in medical dermatology, where accurate diagnosis drives effective treatment.
Why Otsego Residents Value Local Dermatology Access
Otsego and surrounding communities like Elk River, Rogers, Albertville, and St. Michael have experienced significant growth in recent years. Having a board-certified dermatology practice in the neighborhood means families can access expert skin care without the 30+ minute drive to Minneapolis or the western suburbs.
Our Otsego office offers the same quality of care as our other five locations — with the convenience of a local neighborhood practice. Same-week appointments are often available, so you won’t wait weeks to see a specialist.
Annual Skin Exams & Preventive Care
One of the most important services we offer is the annual full-body skin examination. This comprehensive check helps catch skin cancer early — when treatment is most effective — and allows your dermatologist to monitor moles and other lesions over time. We recommend annual exams for all adults, especially those with fair skin, a history of sunburns, or a family history of skin cancer.
