VIDA Dermatology’s Third Anniversary

February 22, 2024

As VIDA Dermatology marks its three-year anniversary, we want to take this opportunity to reflect on our clinic’s unwavering commitment to enhancing the lives of our patients.

VIDA was founded on the principles of family, compassion, and expertise. We are redefining the standard of dermatological care and are dedicated to building lasting relationships with our valued patients.

Our Commitment to Holistic Well-Being

At the core of VIDA Dermatology is a deep-rooted commitment to improving the physical, social, and psychological well-being of each patient. 

The name “VIDA” comes from the Latin word for “life.” This encapsulates our mission to approach dermatological conditions with a holistic mindset.

Beyond surface-level concerns, VIDA understands the transformative impact that dermatological treatments can have on the fabric of everyday life and well-being.

Our Welcoming Atmosphere

A distinctive hallmark of VIDA Dermatology is that we are a family-owned and family-operated clinic. As a family, we nurture an environment where every patient is welcomed into a supportive and comfortable setting.

We want every individual who walks through our doors, irrespective of their skin concerns, to feel at ease when seeking dermatological care. 

Our family-oriented approach underscores VIDA’s commitment to personalized and compassionate service.

Dr. Kurian’s Achievements

At the helm of VIDA Dermatology is Dr. Kurian, a native of Edmonton, AB. His journey is marked by academic excellence and a profound dedication to dermatology.

Dr. Kurian completed medical school at McMaster University and a rigorous five-year dermatology residency program at the University of Alberta. He has not only honed his skills but has also served as a Chief Dermatology Resident and Co-Chair of the Canadian Dermatology Association’s Residents and Fellows Society.

Dr. Kurian’s remarkable contributions extend beyond clinical practice. As a published author of two dermatology books and over 50 peer-reviewed articles, he has been recognized with prestigious awards from the Ontario Medical Association and the Canadian Dermatology Association.

Real Stories of Transformation at VIDA Dermatology

“Dr. Kurian is every bit as professional and knowledgeable as I was told going into my appointment. Takes the time to explain things. He and his team at Vida Dermatology are all great and I recommend this clinic to those looking for a good dermatologist in a good central and easy to find location.”

“Dr Kurian and his entire staff at Vida Dermatology are certainly a step above the rest! Not only is he knowledgeable , but he has excellent bed side manners, which is rare to come by these days! He takes the time to listen to all of my concerns and answer all of my questions. Aside from excellent medical service, his office is state of the art and feels like you are entering a spa! I would highly recommend to anyone with dermatological issues, or looking for a little medical rejuvenation with his medical aestheticians!”

“Several people recommended Dr. Kurian to me (family and friends) and I also agree he is a fantastic dermatologist. Very professional and friendly. He helped me more than 3 other dermatologists that I’ve seen before him. Yes, I would most definitely recommend seeing him”
