Kayla Riswold, MD, knew she was going to be a doctor from a young age; her inspiration was her mother, an internist. A young Kayla watched how her mother cared for patients, and in turn, sparked their respect and trust.
You have access to Dr. Riswold’s empathetic care through her dermatology and dermatopathology services at Avera Medical Group Dermatology in Sioux Falls, SD.
“During medical school rotations, something just clicked,” she said, explaining her pull toward dermatology. She proudly cares for all ages, from newborns to older adults.
Expert Care in Dermatology and Dermatopathology
Dr. Riswold diagnoses and treats a variety of skin conditions, including:
- Skin cancers, such as melanoma and basal cell carcinoma
- Acne
- Dry skin
- Psoriasis
- Rosacea
- Eczema
Specialized in Dermatopathology
Dr. Riswold is expertly trained in dermatopathology. In other words, she studies skin biopsies in a lab setting to accurately diagnose not just the condition but the prognosis.
“I diagnose whether your skin rash is eczema or psoriasis or something else,” she explained. “Or, if I’m looking at a mole, I can determine if it’s benign or cancerous.”
Active Lifestyle
In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends. Also, as she’s originally from Pierre, she loves being on the water.
