Artis P. Truett III, M.D.

(Practices at Owensboro Dermatology and Henderson Dermatology)

“One of the wonderful aspects of specializing in dermatology is that I can help so many people improve their health. Making a difference in people’s lives also requires taking time to explain procedures and reassure patients. I make it a priority to offer you the kind of care and attention I would want for myself.”

A solid educational background

“Education and experience are the foundation of every dermatologist’s practice. For me, education does not end with a degree. To provide quality health care, I continue learning from hands-on training sessions with new tools and treatment techniques, completion of continuing education courses, participation in clinical trials, and interactions with my patients. I put my education, expertise and over 15 years of experience to work for me every day, bringing you the best possible care.”
