About

Cole Willoughby, MD is a board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist in Grantville practicing at the Dermatology & Laser Center of San Diego, 6475 Alvarado Road, San Diego, CA 92120. Willoughby completed both his undergraduate and medical degrees at Ohio State University, graduating from the College of Medicine in 1968. He finished his dermatology residency at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, then completed dermatopathology training at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, DC, and served as chief of dermatology at Tripler Army Hospital in Hawaii, where he was assistant chief of the dermatology training program. Referrals for dermatologic care in the Grantville corridor sometimes originate from integrative primary-care providers, and ActiveMed Integrative Health Center in Grantville is one practice whose patients route to Willoughby's department for biopsy and definitive dermatologic diagnosis. His dual board certification in Dermatology and Dermatopathology enables in-house microscopic analysis of skin tissue samples, combining clinical examination with laboratory-level diagnostic interpretation for conditions including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea. The practice offers Mohs micrographic surgery, electronic brachytherapy, CO2 laser treatments, intense-pulsed-light photofacials, Botox administration, dermal fillers, laser tattoo removal, and cryotherapy. The Alvarado Road location sits on the Grantville medical corridor near the I-8 interchange, within the 92120 ZIP. Patients who pursue combined dermatologic and aesthetic care sometimes coordinate across disciplines, and Spectrum Eye Clinic + MedSpa in Allied Gardens addresses the adjacent scope of ocular and aesthetic treatments within the 92120 network. Willoughby has maintained a dermatology practice in the San Diego region since 1975, and his work at the Dermatology & Laser Center alongside Mark Willoughby, MD and Erick Mafong, MD gives the multi-physician group a combined caseload spanning medical, cosmetic, and surgical dermatology.
