About
Dr. Aboul-Fettouh's practice is built around two focuses. The first is complex inflammatory skin disease — eczema, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and alopecia areata — conditions where the treatment options have changed considerably in recent years and where care is usually long-term rather than a single visit.
The second is Mohs micrographic surgery. He completed his fellowship in micrographic surgery and dermatologic oncology at Mayo Clinic and is board-certified in it, treating basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma and handling the reconstruction afterward.
Born in France and raised in the United States since age seven, he now calls Texas home after more than a decade practicing in the Dallas and Houston areas. He teaches dermatology residents and PA students, publishes in the specialty's journals, and sees patients at his practice in Allen.

Before Your Visit
Common questions
Do I need a referral to be seen?
Most patients can book directly without a referral. A few insurance plans, particularly HMOs, do require one — if you are unsure, call the office at 469-331-3242 and the front desk can check before your visit.
What insurance is accepted?
Blue Ribbon Dermatology accepts most major commercial plans as well as Medicare. Because networks change, please call to confirm your specific plan before scheduling.
How long does Mohs surgery take?
Plan to be at the office for several hours, even though the actual surgery is short. The time is spent waiting while your tissue is processed and read under the microscope between rounds. Bring a book, eat beforehand, and arrange a ride if the surgery is near your eye.
Will I be put to sleep?
No. Mohs surgery is done under local anesthesia. You are awake and comfortable throughout, and most patients drive themselves home.
What should I bring to a first appointment?
Your insurance card and photo ID, a list of current medications and allergies, and any biopsy reports or records from a previous dermatologist. If you are coming for a spot, skip makeup over the area and wear something easy to change out of.
How soon can I be seen for a suspicious spot?
Concerning lesions are prioritized. Call the office and describe what you are seeing — the team will work you in as soon as possible rather than putting you in the routine queue.
