Dermatology Associates of Virginia’s mission is to provide compassionate, high quality, and cost-conscious dermatologic care to the central Virginia region.

Charles M. Caravati, Jr., M.D., a Richmond native, founded Dermatology Associates of Virginia in 1969. The original office started on Hamilton Street in the near West End, but was soon moved to a house on Grove Avenue. Since then, Dermatology Associates has grown to twenty-one providers practicing at six central Virginia locations. We have one office in Colonial Heights and five in the greater Richmond area.

Our doctors and physician assistants provide medical and surgical treatments for skin diseases occurring in patients of all ages. While the treatment of skin diseases and skin cancers is our specialty, we also offer a variety of cosmetic services. Furthermore, our highly professional team members address all of our patient’s skin diseases in convenient, comfortable and attractive settings.

Our dermatologists are all board certified by the American Board of Dermatology. Additionally, all are members of our local, state and national dermatological and medical professional societies.

DAV is a founding member of MD Value Care, an organization of independent physician practices in Richmond, VA. We believe that we can excel in quality, patient experience, and cost-effectiveness.
