Courtney Houde is a seasoned certified physician assistant with over a decade of clinical experience. She began her career after completing an accelerated program for physician assistants and graduating from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2012. Since then, she has dedicated most of her career to the field of dermatology treating both adult and pediatric populations. She loves practicing many aspects of her field including medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology.

Courtney believes that life has a way of changing who we are and how we practice. She is a mother of four little girls, including a set of triplets that were born prematurely. Through her experience as a mother and patient herself, she has come to realize what it means to have your voice heard. As a result, Courtney strives to show her patients how important each of them is to her and focuses on the person, not just the condition. She wants her patients to leave their visits feeling happy and comfortable with their medical decisions.

When she’s not working, Courtney is busy taking care of her family but when she gets a minute to herself, she enjoys exercising, cooking, being a Philadelphia sports fan, and a good Netflix binge.
