Samantha Schneider, MD
Board-certified Dermatologist and Board-certified & Fellowship-trained Mohs Surgeon
Pacific Crest Dermatology - Carson City, NV
As a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon, I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of skin conditions—from skin cancer to cosmetic concerns. I completed my dermatology residency at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, followed by advanced fellowship training in Mohs Micrographic Surgery and facial reconstruction at Washington University in St. Louis.
Over the years, I’ve performed thousands of surgical procedures to remove skin cancers, including both traditional excisions and Mohs surgery. I have extensive training in reconstructive techniques for optimal cosmetic outcomes.
I care for patients of all ages—from newborns to those over 100—and treat a broad spectrum of dermatologic concerns, including acne, rashes, warts, pigment disorders, and skin cancer. I also perform comprehensive skin exams to detect skin cancer early, when it’s most treatable.
In addition to medical and surgical dermatology, I also perform cosmetic procedures. I offer neurotoxin injections (like Botox and Dysport), dermal fillers (like Sculptra, Juvederm and Restylane), laser and light based treatments (including UltraClear and IPL), microneedling, chemical peels, and more—with a focus on natural-looking, confidence-boosting results.
I moved to Northern Nevada in 2020 and quickly fell in love with the Sierra Nevada—its beauty, its community, and its pace of life. That connection inspired me to put down roots and create Pacific Crest Dermatology, a practice grounded in expertise, compassion, and a deep sense of belonging.
Outside the clinic, I’m an avid knitter and spend as much time as I can outdoors. I love camping, hiking, and both backcountry and downhill skiing—always with my husband and our dog, Apollo, nearby for the adventure.
It’s an honor to care for this community, and I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones.
