Want to know just how much AD can affect patients? It’s more than you think. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Lacey Kruse as she talks about the psychosocial aspects of Atopic Dermatitis. Listen in as she discusses how AD impacts those around the patient, and how it can be as life-altering as chronic pain. Each Thursday, join Dr. Raja and Dr. Hadar, board certified dermatologists, as they share the latest evidence based research in integrative dermatology. To learn more about the social and psychological burden of AD and earn CME credits, complete Dr. Kruse's course at LearnSkin supported by an independent educational grant from Pfizer.

Dr. Hadar Lev-Tov is a board-certified dermatologist with extensive research experience. Throughout his training and in daily practice, he has always believed that the key to achieving health for his patients is grounded in his ability to truly connect to their experiences and perceptions of health and well-being. Maimonides, one of the greatest philosophers of all time realized that human knowledge, often represented as "science," is limited. As a physician, he feels he would be a fool to believe all is known. Maimonides said, "The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it." LearnSkin is his journey to a better understanding of his patients.
