About Jason S. Reichenberg, MD
Dr. Reichenberg lives in Austin, Texas with his wife and two children. He has been running around Lady Bird Lake since 2006 (but always wears a hat!). He is Vice Chair of the University of Texas Southwestern Department of Dermatology, where he is involved with clinical care, teaching and research. I've wanted to be a doctor since I was in second grade. I still have my copy of “Charlie Brown’s ‘Cyclopedia: Featuring Your Body,” which I read over and over until the cover fell off. Recently, I have the joy of reading this book again with my two children, teaching them biology and its effects on our everyday lives. Whether we are approaching a child with warts or an adult with a rash or a skin cancer, every patient has different skincare concerns and goals. As a skin specialist, I enjoy working with patients to find a treatment plan that's right for them. I'm passionate about teaching dermatology; I almost always have a student with me in clinic. I enjoy seeing a variety of skin problems in adult and pediatric patients, from acne and warts to autoimmune and infectious skin conditions. I'm currently researching ways of making a diagnosis without needing a biopsy, using skin swabs and light-based imaging systems. I'm also intrigued at the connections between the mind and body. Stress can have a real effect on a person’s skin condition, so I try to understand the patient as a whole person. Treating the skin can affect one’s mood as well.
