Suzanne D Shipman, MD - Alice Peck Day Womens Care Center

I see diagnosing and managing liver disease as an opportunity to prevent serious illness in the future. Most liver conditions initially have no symptoms, but can be treated and potentially reversed at this early stage. I want my patients to know that our job is to understand and treat their condition before it gets to a point of causing symptoms and possibly can’t be reversed. Our team of hepatologists, associate providers and nurses work together to treat each patient as an individual to achieve these goals.

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.
