The condition varies in manner and severity from patient-to-patient. So, we customize treatment to fit each patient’s needs and resources. We invite you to come in for a consultation to see how we can tailor a treatment program that’s just right for you.

The newest therapeutic class of drugs for this condition are the biologic agents. Biologic agents are administered by injection and they reduce inflammation in the skin and elsewhere in the body. These medicines are intended to treat patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, patients with psoriatic arthritis, or patients who have failed to respond to other forms of treatment.
Selection of a specific agent is based on the patient’s medical history, the presence or absence of psoriatic arthritis, and other factors.
Biologic agents which we prescribe include:
- Cosentyx
- Taltz
- Humira
- Enbrel
- Stelara
- Tremfya
