Elkhorn Dermatology was founded with a clear vision: to create a dermatology practice where patients receive comprehensive, personalized skin care without feeling rushed.
Valeriya Kettelhut, PhD, founded the practice after recognizing the need for greater access to thorough skin evaluations, advanced skin cancer detection, and dermatology appointments that allow providers the time to truly understand each patient’s concerns.
A central part of that vision is prevention and early detection. Elkhorn Dermatology combines comprehensive skin examinations with advanced technologies such as FotoFinder ATBM mole mapping and digital dermoscopy to help identify suspicious or changing lesions as early as possible.
The practice was also intentionally designed around a direct-pay model. By using a direct-pay model, our providers can devote more time to listening, evaluating, educating, and developing individualized treatment plans based on each patient’s needs.
Today, Elkhorn Dermatology provides medical, preventive, and cosmetic dermatology care with a focus on thorough evaluation, personalized treatment, patient education, and long-term skin health.
We take time to evaluate your skin thoroughly, discuss your concerns, review relevant history, and identify changes that may deserve closer attention.
FotoFinder ATBM mole mapping, digital photography, and dermoscopy help our providers document and monitor skin changes over time and examine concerning lesions more closely.
Appointments are designed to allow meaningful conversation, thoughtful evaluation, patient education, and individualized treatment planning without feeling rushed.
When possible, we offer same-week appointments so patients can be seen sooner without waiting months for an evaluation.
Elkhorn Dermatology brings together providers with specialized training and experience in dermatologic, allergic, inflammatory, and preventive skin care.
Medical Director Brett Kettelhut, MD, a board-certified allergist and immunologist, brings extensive expertise in allergic and inflammatory skin conditions, including eczema and contact dermatitis.
Clinical Director Margaret Matveyev, APRN, provides comprehensive dermatology care with a particular focus on skin cancer screening, dermoscopy, lesion evaluation, acne, inflammatory skin conditions, and medical and cosmetic dermatology.
Our providers are committed to continuing education and regularly expand their knowledge of emerging diagnostic technologies, treatment approaches, and evidence-based dermatologic care.
Most importantly, they share a philosophy that good dermatology begins with listening carefully, evaluating thoroughly, and treating the individual rather than simply addressing a symptom.
Getting a concerning mole, persistent rash, worsening acne, or another skin problem evaluated should not always require waiting months for an appointment.
Elkhorn Dermatology offers same-week availability whenever possible, giving patients throughout Omaha and surrounding communities another option when timely dermatology care matters.
Elkhorn Dermatology is conveniently located in West Omaha, just south of 204th Street and Pacific Street. Our clinic serves patients from Elkhorn, Omaha, Gretna, Bennington, Waterloo, Valley, and surrounding communities.
