This transaction represents the nineteenth practice partnership for Forefront in Illinois.
Established in the early 2000’s, Advanced Dermatology has grown into a leading brand in Chicago’s North Shore market, with two clinic locations, a comprehensive suite of medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology services, clinical research capabilities and an unmatched reputation.

Advanced Dermatology Founder Dr. Amy Taub said, “My experience with Physician Growth Partners was excellent. They led me through the process of finding a corporate partner that would respect our mission yet valued our practice reasonably. This transition is complex legally, financially, and emotionally. PGP led us through the stages to completion in a truly professional manner. I would highly recommend them to any physician group or individual considering being acquired.”
PGP Vice President Jeremy Murphy added, “We are thrilled about the promising future ahead for Advanced Dermatology as they enter this next phase of growth through their partnership with Forefront. Dr. Taub is a fantastic physician who has built a wonderful practice, and we’re grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her, her physician partners, provider base, and exemplary management team.”
