ABOUT THE DOCTOR

Michael J. Tomcik, M.D. combines over 20 years of medical practice and more than a decade of experience in laser technology to provide his patients with outstanding cosmetic dermatologic care. His unique talents are obvious in his ability to listen to each individual's needs and desires. This careful evaluation combined with this knowledge of anatomy, physiology, design and aesthetics gives each patient a distinctive blend of science and artistry. Dr. Tomcik likens his cosmetic dermatology practice to an artist selecting elements from a palette to create "just the right touch" to enhance each patient's appearance and well-being.

Education is an important part of Dr. Tomcik's service and philosophy. He frequently attends and presents professional seminars to maintain his up-to-date medical technology and skills. Dr. Tomcik also offers numerous voluntary services and seminars to the community here at home and abroad.

Dr. Tomcik is also very active away from the office. He is an accomplished amateur photographer. His skillful images have been exhibited throughout the U.S., Australia, and Europe. He has traveled extensively with his family, is an avid reader, and enjoys skiing, scuba diving, rafting, ocean kayaking and skydiving. He feels his varied interests help him in communicating with his patients about their experiences and needs.

Dr. Tomcik and his wife Connie have two children, Devin and Kendra.
