Dr. Kassie A. Haitz MD
Dr. Kassie A. Haitz is a board-certified dermatologist based in Victor, New York, who has been caring for skin in the Rochester area for more than a decade. She practices the full breadth of the specialty — medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology — which means a single week might take her from treating a teenager’s stubborn acne, to catching an early skin cancer, to performing a cosmetic laser procedure.
She earned a degree in biology, magna cum laude, from SUNY Geneseo before completing her medical degree at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. She trained in dermatology at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire, then returned to Rochester to help build a boutique practice designed around a simple idea: that patients should feel like part of an extended family rather than a name on a chart.
Her clinical interests range across acne, psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions, skin cancer detection and treatment, pediatric dermatology, and cosmetic laser work. She has stayed active in research throughout her career, with published work on acne, skin cancers such as Merkel cell carcinoma, and viral skin disease — the kind of academic engagement that tends to keep a clinician current with how the field is actually changing.
Patients tend to describe her in warm, plain terms: cheerful, competent, and good at explaining what is going on with their skin. Outside the office, she leads a full and active life — married to a fellow physician and raising three children, with a long list of pursuits from skiing and hiking to tennis, golf, and yoga.
