    Who is Dr. Vanderbeek, Internist in Tigard, OR?

    “I love being a dermatologist. I get to spend every day helping people with problems that vary from skin cancers to severe rashes to teenage acne and more. It can be deeply difficult for many people to bare their body for examination and I feel profoundly honored with my patients’ trust every day. I take pride in tailoring treatment regimens that are custom-fit to each person’s priorities. There are many mysteries in dermatology and I look forward to spending the rest of my career finding these and solving them in collaboration with my patients..”
