“The most satisfying part of my job is putting my patients at ease and relieving their fears and anxiety.”
Meet Dr. Robert Zax
Dr. Robert Zax is a Louisville native and a graduate of St. Xavier High School, Bellarmine College and University of Louisville School of Medicine.
Dr. Zax is a Board Certified Dermatologist and a Board Certified Micrographic Dermatologic Surgeon, as well as a Fellow of the American College of Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery. Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery (formerly known as MOHS Surgery) is an advanced treatment procedure for the total removal of skin cancer and offers the highest potential for a complete cure. Dr. Zax has been performing MOHS surgery for over 30 years in the Kentuckiana area.
In medical school Dr. Zax was going to apply in either Orthopedic or Cardiovascular Surgery but when he started his dermatology rotation he fell in love with how visual the field of dermatology was. He learned that Dermatologists have the ability to do numerous outpatient surgical procedures, and the combination of visual diagnosis with hands-on procedures sealed the deal for him.
Reconstructive surgery is rewarding because each case is so unique and every case is a challenge. Dr. Zax loves interacting and building relationships with his patients. He finds satisfaction in putting his patients at ease and relieving their fears and anxiety. Dr. Zax loves owning his local, family owned practice, The Skin Group, because he is able to care for his patients as he sees fit and not having to answer to a corporate owner.
Dr. Zax was also named one of the “Best Doctors in America” (1999-2000, 2001-2002, 2005-2006, 2009-2010, 2011-2012, 2016-2017).
