About
At Dermatology and Laser Institute of Colorado, Dr. Richard Ort delivers comprehensive medical and cosmetic dermatology from his Lone Tree practice. He founded the practice around 2001 and has spent over two decades serving patients across the south Denver area and the broader Rocky Mountain region.
Dr. Ort operates a direct pay practice, setting fees transparently by time and care level. Patients always see Dr. Ort personally, never a PA or nurse practitioner. He uses more than ten lasers daily and holds recognized expertise in acne scar treatment, pigment and brown spot correction, and rosacea management. Local dermatologists and plastic surgeons refer their most complicated laser cases to him. His approach to new procedures reflects a clear priority: efficacy and patient safety come before novelty.
