About Dr. Bruce Kolton
I have been in dermatologic practice for 24 years in the Hoffman Estates area. My undergraduate, medical and residency programs were all completed at the University of Illinois. I am Board Certified by the American Board of Dermatology.
My philosophy of practice is that I am a partner with my patients. I try to educate them on the facts of their condition and allow them to participate in their treatment options. It is also my philosophy that people should not have to wait for months to be seen when they have a problem. I would rather make an effort to fit people into my schedule based on need when it is appropriate.
