Conveniently located in Richmond Hill, York Dermatology Clinic & Research Centre consists of a team of board-certified dermatologists who are able to provide a wide range of medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology treatment options, as well as clinical research for chronic dermatological conditions. Owned by Dr Michael Cecchini, the firm’s mission is to provide skilled, ethical, and comprehensive care to all patients in an unbiased manner so that they are fully empowered to make informed choices about the health of their skin. “We have an innovative approach to patient care and service delivery, which includes a focus on education, prevention, and patient satisfaction,” he begins. “The practice has combined traditional techniques with new technologies to provide patients with an experience that is both convenient and effective.” Michael graduated from the University of Toronto in 2019 and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada. Born and raised in the mining town of Timmins, Ontario, his love for the north was cemented when he attended the Northern Ontario School of Medicine in Sudbury. This is where he gained extensive hands-on learning experience while working in remote northern communities and focusing on francophone and aboriginal health. It was while he was working at York Dermatology that the opportunity to buy the company came up, meaning that Michael became a business owner a lot earlier than he originally expected, at the age of just 33 and not long after he had completed his dermatology residency. “At the beginning of my career, my main goal was to graduate, work for a number of years, and then maybe one day down the road, start my own clinic,” says Michael. “Since this opportunity came up, I’m now in a different place than anything I could have imagined.” Now with six doctors that work for him, and a cosmetic wing plus clinical trials, Michael’s goal is now to be the best medical dermatology centre in the north of the Greater Toronto Area, with outreach into Northern Ontario. “I want to be able to give great medical care to people who need it but may not always have access. On top of that, the clinic works very closely with many patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, a very painful skin condition impacting the body’s sweat glands, and I’d like our clinic to be one of the main centres to help with this. Ultimately, my goal is to continue to grow the clinic, help people, and be a centre of excellence.” Whilst many of York Dermatology’s patients visit the clinic for professional cosmetic services, including laser hair removal, RF micro needling, the treatment of acne scarring, and neurological modulators, the doctors are also specialists in diagnosing and treating a variety of dermatological conditions that include hidradenitis suppurativa, melanoma, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, and acne. As well as this, the clinic regularly conducts clinical trials for conditions such as hidradenitis suppurativa, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and alopecia areata treatments. Most Innovative Dermatology Practice 2023 - Canada Run by experienced dermatologist, Dr Michael Cecchini, York Dermatology Clinic & Research Centre (York Dermatology) is proud to provide world-class dermatology services to patients of all ages and skin types throughout the Greater Toronto Area and across Ontario. We find out more about the clinic as Michael talks to us following a win in the Canadian Business Awards 2023. But it is the keen focus on innovation which Michael believes is key to staying ahead of the competition and which keeps his clients coming back for more. “At York Dermatology, we’re constantly looking at new ways to improve our services and make them more accessible for our patients,” he elaborates. “We want everyone who comes through our doors to feel welcome, comfortable, and confident about getting their skin checked out by one of our experts!” Obviously, running a busy clinic in a billion-dollar industry has its downsides, as well as its benefits. Michael tells us that being highly organised and managing his time is essential, especially when things are hectic. But he also ensures that he sets aside time for himself and supports his own mental health. “It’s important to surround yourself with others that you trust, and who care as much as you do about the organisation,” he tells us. “Everyone I work with hustles and goes above and beyond. We are working towards many common goals in building the best possible experience for our staff and patients. When you meet people, whether it’s networking, patients, or staff, it’s always important to make decisions with honesty and integrity.” York Dermatology Clinic & Research Centre is proud to have recently been named the Most Innovative Dermatology Practice 2023 by the esteemed Canadian Business Awards. This award acknowledges York Dermatology for being a leader in its field and for setting new standards for excellence in the healthcare industry. “This award recognises excellence in dermatology and our commitment to providing our patients with innovative, high-quality care,” Michael enthuses. “This award comes from our dedication to providing the best possible service to our patients, and we are honoured to be recognised for this commitment. We’re proud that our peers have recognised our efforts, and we look forward to continuing to provide innovative solutions that improve lives. “We would like to thank our clients for your continued support, without which we could not be here today!” With hordes of delighted clients, it’s easy to see why York Dermatology is so successful. Here are a just a few comments from some of the many satisfied and loyal customers. One patient describes their experience: “Very knowledgeable and removed a chronic abscess from my armpit that had been an issue for over five years. He fit me immediately into a busy schedule so I could begin recovery as quickly as possible and return to work. It has now healed up nicely and I am very grateful.” Similarly, another client was impressed by the innovative approach which Dr Cecchini believes is so vital: “Always looking for new ways to better help his patients. Extremely knowledgeable and specialised in his work. Would highly recommend him to anyone suffering from debilitating skin conditions.”
