Mount Nittany Health Expands Dermatology Services with New Sandy Drive Location

Mount Nittany Health will open a new dermatology practice on Sandy Drive on August 31, bringing all of its dermatology services together under one roof in a larger space designed to improve access to care and meet the growing needs of the community.

The new 7,296-square-foot location is the home for Mount Nittany Health's dermatology team, including Matthew Hazey, MD, Lorraine Rosamilia, MD, M. Amanda Jacobs, MD, Dallis Dillon, PA-C and Amanda Marin, PA-C.

"Access to timely dermatologic care has been a growing need in our region," said Christopher Yingling, MD, Mount Nittany Health Urologist and Medical Director of Surgical Services."It’s not uncommon to wait 14-16 months for a new patient appointment with dermatology. Our new Sandy Drive location allows us to care for more patients while reducing wait times.”

One of the most significant additions to the practice is the introduction of Mohs surgery, now available for the first time at Mount Nittany Health. Mohs surgery is considered one of the most effective treatments for certain skin cancers because it removes cancerous tissue with exceptional precision while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Previously, many patients needed to travel outside of the area or wait extended periods to receive this treatment.

The Sandy Drive facility includes dedicated Mohs procedure rooms, an on-site laboratory and comfortable waiting areas for family members and caregivers during procedures.

The expanded practice also increases access to routine and urgent dermatology appointments. With additional providers and exam space, Mount Nittany Health is able to offer more appointment availability, including reserved scheduling for acute dermatologic concerns. Telemedicine appointments are also available for select follow-up visits, medication management and other care that may not require an in-person visit.

In addition to Mohs surgery, the practice offers comprehensive dermatology services, including:

• Medical dermatology for children and adults
• Medical Botox treatment for hyperhidrosis
• Coordinated care with allergy specialists for complex dermatologic conditions
• Expanded access to urgent dermatology appointments
