Carl J. Raque, M.D.

According to Webster, "Dermatology is a branch of science dealing with the skin, its structure, functions and diseases." According to Dr. Carl J. Raque, board certified in dermatology and dermatopathology, "Dermatology is the art of balancing the cutting edge of scientific knowledge with established diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in achieving an effective treatment for my patients." Allowing time for personal communication in a down-to-earth manner, Dr. Raque's patients are able to develop a rapport that is centered around trust and communication, which leads to successful therapy in their skin disease. Dr. Raque says one of the most satisfying aspects of being a dermatologist in Little Rock, is having the opportunity to meet wonderful people from all over Arkansas.
