Frontier's new Ballard location is designed with patient convenience in mind, featuring an on-site parking garage with a connected skybridge. The practice also welcomes a broad range of major insurance plans and is accepting new patients, with additional providers expected to join the Ballard team in the coming months.

"For the last 25 years, our mission has been to provide expert, compassionate dermatologic care where it's needed most," said Frontier Dermatology's Co-Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Lauren Boudreaux.
