Dr. Rachael Delahoussaye-Shields
I believe that everyone’s health and skin is unique. The health of our skin, especially for those with skin conditions, requires the focused attention of both the dermatologist and the patient. Creating a patient-doctor team allows me to develop a thorough understanding of the needs of each patient’s skin. Skin disease can often affect us not only physically, but also emotionally. I am grateful for the opportunity to help treat patients, and hopefully ease the physical and emotional burden of their skin conditions.
I earned my medical degree, and also completed my residency in dermatology, at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, La.
I provide medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology; laser treatments and phototherapy. My areas of interest include sun health, sun precautions and preventing skin cancer. I specialize in the treatment of precancerous and cancerous skin lesions, acne, psoriasis, childhood and adult atopic dermatitis/eczema, moles and birthmarks and skin cancers.
I love to teach patients about sun health, sun precautions, and preventing skin cancer. I also enjoy working with patients of all ages to create unique skin care routines, treatments, and cosmetic procedures to make each patient’s skin the best it can be. As a former college gymnast, I love athletics and enjoy many sports. I also enjoy running, reading and spending time with friends and family.
