AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Epiphany Dermatology (www.epiphanydermatology.com) announced today it has expanded its presence into the Tucson, Arizona market through its acquisition of Academy Dermatologists Group, LLC (“Academy”). Epiphany Dermatology is comprised of leading dermatologists committed to improving access to great dermatologic care.

Founded in 1980 by Dr. Andrew Tedesco, Academy has a long history of providing quality dermatology services to patients in the greater Tucson market. Through this acquisition, Academy’s dedicated providers and support staff have joined Epiphany in a partnership grounded in exceptional patient care.

Dr. Tedesco, a board-certified medical and surgical dermatologist who earned an M.D. at Creighton University and completed his dermatology residency at the University of Arizona, commented, “My staff and I are excited to partner with Epiphany, which has proven itself to be a high-quality company comprised of intelligent and caring professionals. Epiphany shares the values and goals that my staff and I believe in—to provide high-quality care across the entire spectrum of dermatologic needs. By partnering with Epiphany, we will expand our ability to effectively and expeditiously treat the thousands of skin diseases and skin cancers that we are faced with annually. Epiphany has the infrastructure to help us deal with the growing regulatory burdens that would otherwise interfere with our ability to focus on what matters most—taking care of our patients and serving our community.”

Gheorghe Pusta, Chief Executive Officer of Epiphany, said, “We are pleased to form this partnership with Dr. Tedesco, who is well respected among his peers in the community. Dr. Tedesco and the team at Academy are as committed as Epiphany is to clinical excellence. This is an exciting opportunity to expand our provider network and improve access to great dermatologic care in the Tucson market.”

Through this partnership, Academy’s providers and staff gain additional resources to help with operations, managed care, marketing, compliance, human resources, recruiting, and many other support services.
