Schweiger Dermatology Group Acquires United Skin Specialists, with Office Locations in Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri

PLYMOUTH, Minn. and NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Schweiger Dermatology Group (“SDG”), one of the largest and fastest growing dermatology practices in the country, has announced it has acquired United Skin Specialists (“USS”). USS is a dermatology-directed practice management group with 10 office locations in the Midwest. This marks SDG’s entrance into this region of the United States.

USS has built a strong reputation of providing patient-centric medical and cosmetic dermatology care in Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri. Originally founded by Drs. Brian Zelickson and Alvin Zelickson, USS received private equity investment in 2015 from Tonka Bay Equity Partners.

“United Skin Specialists is known for outstanding medical care and excellent patient satisfaction. This partnership is perfectly aligned with our vision to deliver expanded access to high quality medical care,” says Dr. Eric Schweiger, founder, and CEO of Schweiger Dermatology Group.

Kam Kielhorn, a Tonka Bay Principal said: “United Skin Specialists has developed into a leading dermatology practice management company in the Midwest with a talented group of providers and support staff. Schweiger Dermatology Group’s shared vision and values made them an ideal fit for USS. Combined, they are well positioned for continued success.”

“Tonka Bay provided valuable expertise and capital support as our management team navigated acquisitions, expanded our services, and improved operational metrics,” Dr. Brian Zelickson added. “We look forward to a promising future with Schweiger Dermatology Group.”

Schweiger Dermatology Group welcomes 35 providers from United Skin Specialists to their practice.
