Gabrielle Eugenie M. Duprat, MD, MA

I pursue providing the highest quality care in a friendly, professional clinic. My experiences in global health, US military service, and in clinical care have taught me the value of providing patients with evidence-based management options that best fit patients’ overall needs. This includes striving for clear, detailed, patient friendly information about a patient’s disease and the risks and benefits of treatment options so the patient and I can come to the best management plan at each stage of their disease. I practice General Dermatology, including skin cancer, acne, allergic contact dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriasis and eczema, as well as treatment of skin cancer and removal of “lumps and bumps”. In addition, I coordinate clinical trials for our section, working with our providers to bring cutting-edge treatments to our community for such diseases as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. My areas of non-pharmacological research interest include infectious diseases and epidemiology of skin diseases. I am an active member of the American Academy of Dermatology and, most recently, the American Contact Dermatitis Society.

I focus my dermatology practice on skin cancer. In particular, I see patients with rare lymphomas of the skin (cutaneous T cell lymphoma or cutaneous B cell lymphoma) and patients who are at high risk of developing skin cancer due to either a suppressed immune system (organ transplant recipients or patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia) or other genetic factors. I collaborate with other specialists to provide coordinated multidisciplinary care, while I work with my patients to create a skin cancer management and prevention plan that best fits their needs. I am a member of the United States Cutaneous Lymphoma Consortium and the International immunosuppression and Transplant Skin Cancer Collaborative which allows me to actively collaborate with physicians who have similar interests. I am grateful to be able to develop relationships with and learn from my patients over time, teach residents and medical students about rare skin disorders, and participate in research to help advance our knowledge within the field of cutaneous oncology.

As a pediatric dermatologist, I strive to provide the highest quality sub-specialty care in a friendly, welcoming, and child-friendly clinic atmosphere. I enjoy all aspects of pediatric dermatology, but I have a particular interest in the management of vascular birthmarks such as infantile hemangiomas, capillary malformations, and complex vascular birthmarks. I also enjoy the challenge of treating chronic skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, acne, and genetic skin diseases. I have specialized pediatric dermatologic surgical training and perform surgeries both at Heater Road and at the Outpatient Surgery Center. I am passionate about teaching, and I strive to provide my patients and their families with clear, detailed, and thoughtfully presented information. I also believe that it is important to address the potential psychological and emotional effect of visible dermatologic conditions, and I try to offer strategies for children and their families that help reduce this impact. My areas of clinical research interest include using technology to create novel shared decision making and educational tools for patients and their families, and I publish regularly on this topic. I am an active member of the Society for Pediatric Dermatology, the Pediatric Dermatology Research Alliance, and the American Academy of Dermatology.
