Florida Medical Clinic Welcomes Dermatologist Felicia Hall

CARROLLWOOD, FL — Florida Medical Clinic has welcomed Dr. Felicia Hall to its dermatology department in Carrollwood, where she joins Dr. Rachel Careccia, Ellen Lockwood and Heather Leto.

The group relocated to a new location at 3820 Northdale Bvd., Tampa, in October.

Dermatology of Carrollwood provides medical and surgical care for cutaneous disorders and cosmetic dermatological procedures. The team has years of experience in dermatopathology and minor surgery, as well as diagnosing the full spectrum of cutaneous disorders.

“I evaluate, analyze and treat the skin and I am comfortable addressing a variety of skin issues,” said Hall.

Since skin conditions can often be a sign of an underlying health problem, Hall and her office recommend patients come in for an appointment as soon as they notice any abnormalities.

Hall is also passionate about educating her patients on how to prevent and treat conditions of the skin from within. The answer may be to eliminate something from the diet or have hormone levels checked. Hall takes time to evaluate the whole patient and provide the “why” behind the recommended treatment.

“Please don’t plan on a five-minute visit,” she said. “That’s not my style.”

Hall impresses upon patients the importance of protection from the sun. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States with one in five Americans expected to develop skin cancer during their lifetime. Hall strongly recommends long-sleeved shirts, sun hats and avoiding the sun when possible. She also suggests sunscreen with blocking agents, such as titanium and zinc, applied liberally and often to the whole body.

Hall was born in Toronto, Ontario, and raised in Sarasota. She completed her undergraduate education with honors at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. She then returned to Florida for both medical school and her dermatology residency at the University of South Florida in Tampa.

She enjoys many aspects of dermatology, including general dermatology, cosmetic treatments and surgical procedures. She is a member of the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Dermatology and the American Society of Mohs Surgery.

When not in the office, Hall spends her time traveling, hiking, reading, listening to live music and spending time with her husband, two sons and very large dog.

Request an appointment with Hall online or contact her office at 813-712-5702. She is currently accepting new patients and is available for same-day appointments.
