A Vote for Above & Beyond Derm is a Vote for Your... Hair? (voting ends May 15th!)


TL;DR = Voting for the 2025 Best of Portage County Community Choice Awards ends on May 15th (tomorrow!). I was delightfully surprised to learn that my little shop was nominated after our first year in business. Big thanks to whoever did that :)

A vote for Above & Beyond Dermatology means a chance for you to win a Nutrafol 3-Month Growth Kit with a retail price tag of $264! Voting is free and easy, and your hair will thank you.

To place your vote, simply click here or one of the images below and follow the instructions.

This contest is on the honor system, so simply reply to this email telling me you voted, and I'll enter you in the drawing. The lucky winner will be notified by email this Friday, May 16th.

Thanks for supporting a small, independent, integrative dermatology practice!

A brief look at the other nominees...

Aspirus Dermatology - Stevens Point... Dr. Taub is dope. I wouldn't blame you if you voted for them, but that would mean you're also voting for Big Healthcare.

Forefront Dermatology... with big time private equity ownership, the bottom line is King at Forefront. They do have two board-certified dermatologists, though, so kudos to that!

Marshfield Clinic Dermatology... does not have a board-certified dermatologist anywhere in Portage County, but I guess you can call just about anything a Dermatology Clinic these days.

Stevens Point Medical Aesthetics... is probably a lovely place, but they don't even claim to be a Dermatology Clinic. Come on, man! 🤷‍♂️🤔

Seriously, though, I'll enter you in the contest even if you vote for one of the others. All you have to do is reply to this email and tell me you voted :)

For anyone who is interested in Nutrafol but doesn't end up being the lucky winner...

...you can catch a nice discount on the retail price while also supporting Above & Beyond Dermatology here, so don't sleep on that if you've been thinking about what you can do to support healthy hair growth.

When it comes to hair, an ounce of prevention is worth way more than a pound of cure. Take Nutrafol's quiz to get a personalized plan for better hair growth through whole-body wellness.

For all who celebrated, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. I'm grateful to all of you who bother to open and read these notes.Instead of selling you something on Black Friday, I want to give you something.Today on my podcast feed, I released a bonus episode that contains an audio version of an unfinished e-book that I started writing many months ago.

I just got off of a call that inspired me to send this note.Wouldn't it be nice if you had a board-certified dermatologist in one of your group chats? This would NOT be for individualized, formal medical advice. That's what Above & Beyond Dermatology is for. If you're looking for that and happen to live in WI, MN, IL, CO, NE, or AL, reply to this email with a bit about what you're struggling with, and we'll see if it's a good fit.

When it comes to sun preferences, I don’t judge my patients or anyone else. But I do know from experience that one of the best ways to look like a grandma or a grandpa when you’re actually just a mom or a dad is to abuse the sun on a consistent basis. If you’re interested in sun protection, a great tool in the kit is a reliable broad brimmed hat that you’ll actually wear. However, functional sun hats often leave something to be desired when it comes to fashion. Fortunately, the good folks at...
