Meet Our Three New Providers at AK Family Dermatology
We’d like to welcome three new providers to our team here at Alaska Family Dermatology: Dr. Brett Willardson, Dr. Kate Kimes, and Betsy Taylor PA-C! Dr. Willardson and Dr. Kimes have been with us through most of 2022 and Betsy joined our practice in late 2022. All three bring unique talents and perspectives which allows our practice to provide better service to our Alaska community. Dr. Gina Brown and everyone here at Alaska Family Dermatology are excited to expand our outreach to more Alaskans! Learn a bit about each of our new practitioners below.
Dr. Willardson is an Active Duty Air Force Officer and board-certified dermatologist. He was born and raised in Palmer, AK, and was lucky enough to get assigned by the Air Force to work at JBER following his residency training. While he primarily serves the active-duty military community in Anchorage and Kodiak, he enjoys the time he gets to work with the patients and staff at Alaska Family Dermatology. He attended medical school at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD, and then completed his first post-graduate (intern) year at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, TX.
