Our Story

Expertise
Built on Personalized Care. Grown Through Trust.
When Dr. Robert Handwerger established his solo dermatology practice in Maryland more than 40 years ago, he built it around a simple idea: that patients deserve expert, compassionate care delivered by people who know them. That idea still drives everything we do. Today, we’re one of the largest dermatology networks in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, but our commitment to personalized, patient-first care is the same as it was on day one.

Mission Statement

At Anne Arundel Dermatology, we give exceptional care — to our patients and each other.

Our Values

What We Stand For

Patient First

We deliver high-quality, compassionate, and patient-centered care, both inside and outside the exam room.

Caring

We demonstrate kindness and genuine concern for others. We can be caring, direct, and honest at the same time.

Accountability

We take ownership of our actions and honor our commitments to our team members and patients.

Trust

We act with honesty and integrity, fostering collaboration and open communication while assuming the positive intent of others.

One Team

We uplift each other’s contributions and help everyone do their part to succeed as a team.

Growth

We constantly strive to improve as individuals, as a team, as a business, and as a community of caregivers.

Why Anne Arundel Dermatology is Different

LOCAL CARE, NETWORK STRENGTH

Personalized Care Backed by Robust Resources

Our locations operate as connected community practices, each with its own providers and culture, but backed by the shared resources, education, and clinical expertise of a network that spans seven states. Patients get the best of both worlds.

FULL-SPECTRUM CARE

Dermatology, Skin Cancer, and Aesthetics Under One Roof

Our dermatology practices specialize in multiple areas, from routine skin checks and chronic condition management to Mohs surgery, aesthetic treatments, and in-house dermatopathology at select locations. That means more continuity for patients and fewer referrals.

PATHOLOGY & RESEARCH

Dermatopathology & Active Research Expertise

Our dedicated dermatopathology labs support many of our locations, helping enable efficient, accurate diagnoses. Our research program keeps our providers at the forefront of dermatological science and gives patients access to emerging treatments and clinical trials.

CARING FOR PROVIDERS

Great Care Starts With a Happy Team

We invest in our team members the same way we invest in our patients. From ongoing education and clinical development to a culture built on trust and accountability, we work hard to be a place where great providers want to build their careers.
