Contributions to Medicine In addition to quality dermatologic care, Doctor Reager has become increasingly more interested in what his field can offer patients for appearance enhancement. Through the use of his own lasers for vascular facial lesions and resurfacing for age changes and wrinkling, he can offer patients the latest available technology. Chemical peels for aging and Botox injections for frown linies have become standard and rewarding therapeutic options for patients. Practice Philosophy Born and raised in Santa Monica, and a product of the Santa Monica Public School System, Doctor Reager looks at medicine as a community endeavor. Knowing one's physician as a person and not just as a name in an insurance directory is important to the patient's comfort and good health. Doctor Reager and the four Board Certified dermatologists in his group provide dermatologic care to the Westside in their attractive and pleasant office of 29 years, providing prompt appointments, off-hours availability and an opportunity for patients to receive multiple opinions at a single visit should they have a complicated or unusual problem. Three members of his group have received certification for special competence in dermatopathology from the American Board of Dermatology and the American Board of Pathology. This provides additional assurances to patients regarding the microscopic interpretations of surgical specimens. His staff has little turnover, so patients get to know everyone with whom they have contact.
