Dr. Heather D. Rogers, MD, co-founder of Modern Dermatology, is a nationally acclaimed double board-certified procedural dermatologist and Mohs surgeon. Her first love is practicing medicine – seeing hundreds of patients each week at her Seattle practice – her passion is helping people care for their skin. Whether treating skin cancer or educating patients on the most effective skincare regimens to slow the signs of aging, she is trusted for providing straightforward guidance on how to safely and effectively care for aging skin. After decades of witnessing the pervasive widespread misinformation surrounding skincare and anti-aging procedures, Dr. Rogers emerged as a leading voice of reason in the beauty industry. Through her Instagram, blog, and membership on the American Academy of Dermatology Media Team, she offers counsel based on her extensive clinical experience, scientific data, and patient care – not commissions or paid endorsements. Respected for her objectivity, Dr. Rogers has become a trusted expert both on social media and in the national press. Recent features can be found here. She also sits on the Credo Beauty Council, Sorette Scientific Advisory Board and BeautyCounter Scientific Advisory Board.
Seeking a better solution to the questionable ingredients and unnecessary complexity in skincare, she created Doctor Rogers to meet her rigorous standards. Knowing fewer steps with better ingredients work best for aging skin, her namesake line offers refined skincare with outstanding results. Doctor Rogers is available at doctorrogers.com, Nordstrom, Revolve, Credo Beauty, Dermstore, ShopBop, Amazon, and many medical practices around the country.
A Washington Native, Dr. Rogers is a graduate of Stanford University, the University of Washington School of Medicine, and completed her dermatology residency and fellowships at Columbia University Medical Center. She is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Washington Division of Dermatology and lectures regularly on skincare, aesthetics, surgery, and improving patient outcomes. She won the Iron Surgeon Competition for Best Cosmetic Dermatologist at the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery in 2023. She is fortunate to be perennially listed as a Top Doctor in Seattle and Top 5% Most Awarded Physicians in the US.
