A Message from Dr. Hsu MD
Professor and Chair, Department of Dermatology

Welcome to the Department of Dermatology at Temple University Hospital. We are dedicated to providing excellent patient care, conducting ground-breaking investigational research, and offering exceptional training for the next generations of physicians.
 
At Temple, patients with all types of skin conditions have access to the latest medical and surgical dermatologic treatment options, as well as the opportunity to enroll in therapeutic clinical trials. We practice at several locations including the Temple Health Center City office located in downtown Philadelphia. We also work in collaboration with the Department of Dermatology at Fox Chase Cancer Center.
 
In addition, our faculty dermatologists are committed to the highest levels of medical and scientific discovery and the department benefits from their world-renowned expertise and contributions to the field.
 
Seeking to reap the clinical benefits of dermatologic research, we place great emphasis and interest in translational medicine—the process of turning scientific findings into new forms of diagnosis and treatment. The department is currently engaged in a variety of innovative clinical trials that will help advance understanding of many common and complex skin diseases, as well as uncover new treatments and therapies for a variety of conditions. Our researchers and investigations are supported by the National Institutes of Health, national associations and foundations, as well as private industry.
 
Thank you for your interest in our department.
 
Sincerely,
Dr. Sylvia Hsu MD
