Daniel Carrasco, MD, board certified dermatologist, is now providing services in dermatology at the Llano Memorial Healthcare System Lake Area Specialty Clinic, 201 Bay West Blvd. in Horseshoe Bay.

Born and raised in San Antonio, Dr. Carrasco received his medical degree from the   University of Texas Medical School at Galveston and completed an internship in Internal Medicine at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. Following his internship, he accepted a position as a dermatopharmacology (clinical trials fellow) at the 
University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.   He was then recruited to complete a fellowship in New York City at the  Mount Sinai School of Medicine where he supervised the clinical trials unit at Mount Sinai’s Department of Dermatology.

Dr. Carrasco went on to complete his residency training in dermatology at the prestigious Mount Sinai Hospital.  During his fellowships and residency, he was a co-investigator in over 50 clinical trials. Also during this time period, Dr. Carrasco presented 12 posters at the  American Academy of Dermatology,   published over 25 scientific manuscripts in medical journals, and wrote 3 book chapters.   In his second year of residency, he was awarded a Resident Educational Award by the Dermatology Foundation, and, consequently, was appointed chief resident during his senior year of training.

After 3 years of private practice in Houston, Dr. Carrasco decided to make Austin his permanent home and established Austin Dermatology Associates in August last year. His practice is dedicated to the treatment of all skin diseases, including treatment of skin cancer, general dermatologic skin surgery, and cosmetic dermatologic procedures.

Dr. Carrasco recently expanded his practice to include the Highland Lakes seeing patients at the Lake Area Specialty Clinic every Thursday afternoon.   For more information on his practice or to schedule an appointment, contact the Lake Area Specialty Clinic at 830 598-5968.
