The Pineapple
The Pineapple Difference
Hospitality is what makes the difference for our patients at Dalton Dermatology. Because of our focus on hospitality, we have chosen to include a pineapple in our logo. The pineapple is known throughout the world to represent hospitality to others.
This tradition began in 19th century New England. Sea-faring captains would place a pineapple atop the gate of their home when returning from a trip to the Caribbean Islands. They would return bearing cargo of fruits and spices. The pineapple served as an invitation to welcome others to visit the captain's home and share in his experience. Because of that practice, the pineapple became a symbol of receiving and treating guests in a warm, friendly, and generous way. In the same way, we want our patients to know that when they walk into our office they can expect to be welcomed and cared for "Where Healthcare meets Hospitality."
What We Believe In
Quality Care
When you have needs for dermatological care, you should turn to a doctor who listens and responds…an educated and experienced doctor who knows the field and can effectively diagnose and treat your needs…a friendly physician who counsels you on the best ways to maintain and improve your health. Dr. Mary Beth Cole meets all these criteria. In addition, you benefit from a dedicated team of trained professionals who give you the individualized attention you deserve.
Hospitality
Many offices can provide medical care, but quality care is not complete without hospitality. We strive to not only meet your medical needs, but to provide a welcome environment where you can feel comfortable. Hospitality lets our patients know that we care about them and that we have their best interests at heart. We have wonderful patients at Dalton Dermatology, and we want them to know that they are like family.
Informed Patients
We believe that informed patients are better prepared to make decisions regarding their health and well-being. That is why we’ve included information on this web site covering topics associated with dermatology. We encourage you to review our Medical Services page to help you better understand the health concerns you may face. Also, our website is designed to provide information about our office, including maps, directions, hours, insurance policies and appointment scheduling.
