Samantha Ghiselli, MD, FAAD
Board-Certified Dermatologist
Board-certified Mohs Surgeon
FOUNDER OF SKN DERMATOLOGY
Dr. Samantha Ghiselli is passionate about dermatology and is known for taking excellent care of her patients. She prides herself on taking care of the whole person, really listening to her patient’s needs and addressing all of their concerns.
Dr. Ghiselli is double board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology and specializes in medical, cosmetic, and surgical dermatology, including Mohs micrographic surgery.
She co-founded Pure Dermatology Denver in 2018, after practicing dermatology in both California and Colorado since 2006. Upon moving to Colorado in 2012 Dr. Ghiselli joined Denver Dermatology Consultants which was later acquired by a large private equity group. Dr. Ghiselli left this group to start Pure Dermatology because she did not like the large corporate environment and wanted to provide more personalized patient care to her patients. Pure Dermatology was established as a boutique dermatology practice that has grown tremendously over the years and gained a reputation for taking excellent care of its patients.
Effective August 2024 Dr. Ghiselli sold Pure Dermatology to launch SKN Dermatology. SKN Dermatology feels much like the old dermatology office because it is the same office, same location, and same staff- we just changed the name and contact information! There will be some exciting changes that are targeted to improve the service and experience for our patients one of which is the addition of Dr. Lisa Blackwood.
Dr. Ghiselli was born in South Africa and moved to Southern California at the age of ten. She received her undergraduate degree in biology from the University of Southern California and her M.D. from the University of California, Irvine, where she graduated first in her medical school class. Dr. Ghiselli completed her internship at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, and her dermatology residency at the University of California, Irvine in 2006. She practiced dermatology in Southern California for six years and moved to Denver, Colorado in 2012.
Dr. Ghiselli is an active member of the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society for Mohs Surgery, and the Colorado Dermatologic Society.
Dr. Ghiselli is known to have excellent bedside manner and be very charismatic towards her patients. She loves taking care of patients of all ages and can really relate to young children, elderly patients, and everyone in between. She is passionate about dermatology, helping her patients, and building amazing relationships over the years. She loves her profession because of the ways she can improve the lives of others.
Dr. Ghiselli is an active member of the American Academy of Dermatology, the American Society for Mohs Surgery, and the Colorado Dermatologic Society.
