MEET OUR SPECIALISTS

Dr. Daniel Bergman
MD
Dr. Bergman’s medical accolades include induction into the national Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, a reflection of receiving the highest honors on all clinical rotations as a medical student, and the Walter E. Macpherson Society as an outstanding researcher. He continues to publish peer-reviewed dermatologic research in medical journals and presents his research at national and international conferences. He maintains active membership in the American Academy of Dermatology, American Society of Dermatologic Surgery, and American College of Mohs Surgery.
Outside the office, Dr. Bergman enjoys spending time with his young family. He also enjoys many outdoor pursuits, including mountaineering, rock climbing, scuba diving, and hunting.

Dr. Jo Herzog
MD
While there, she decided her true love was clinical medicine and went on to study medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City followed by a residency in Dermatology at Penn State, where she met her husband, Bob. The two moved to Alabama for Bob to do a fellowship at UAB. They fell in love with Alabama and decided that this was the place that they would call home. Their five children were born and raised in Birmingham.
Since residency, she has done extensive additional training in aesthetic/cosmetic and surgical dermatology and has done many of the clinical trials for the medications now being used to treat various disorders, including some of the cosmetic fillers that we use daily. Over time she has become an experienced and expert injector having used almost all of the cosmetic products that are and have been on the market as well as having done some training of other physician injectors. She believes that her love for cosmetic dermatology stems from growing up with a mother who was a painter /sculptor and watching her create forms and faces on paper and in three dimensions.
Dr. Herzog is a member of the Medical Association of the state of Alabama, The Jefferson County Medical Society and the American Academy (board) of Dermatology. She is very active in the Alabama Dermatology Society where she is a past president. In her spare time she enjoys trying to learn how to play tennis and spending time with her children and grandchildren.
