Learn What Drives Dr. Carl Thornfeldt and His Team in Fruitland, Idaho

Our Philosophy

At CT Derm, we understand the effect that your internal health can have on your external appearance. Dr. Carl Thornfeldt is a highly published dermatologist who has devoted his life to understanding your skin and how your internal health impacts it. He takes pride in educating others in the structure and function of skin and its components. Each of our providers has spent countless hours training under Dr. Thornfeldt so that they can also stamp out skin disease.

Our Treatment Strategy

At CT Derm, our approach is to achieve total clearance of your visible skin disorder, then minimize risk of recurrence. Understanding what the disease is and reversing the foundational abnormalities gives our providers the ability to develop a treatment regimen to achieve long-lasting results and hopefully eliminate prescription medication. Most of the common skin diseases we see have four main issues: inflammation, skin barrier damage, an increase of cell turnover (discarding dead skin cells), and infectious microbes that are able to activate and spread the disease while upsetting the balance between the two parts of your immune system. Our strategy is always four-fold to deal with these four main issues, and it has helped us to treat some very severe cases. Read real patient stories to see how our treatment strategy has helped improve the quality of life for our patients. You can also read our story, meet our staff, tour our facility, and browse testimonials.

Here is What our Patients Think

All of the interaction with the staff, technicians and doctors have been professional and friendly. The staff is efficient, the wait times are minimal, and the care is exceptional. I highly recommend CTDerm.

— Wade W. (Patient since 2019)

I have known from a distance that Dr. Thornfeldt and his staff were very good. But in just one visit, I realize that I had underestimated how good they are. Our son and daughter's skin issues, as well as my own, were not noticed by our dermatologist where we live. It was fully worth the trip from Florida.

— Robert H. (patient since 2016)

My experience with Dr. Thornfeldt and his staff has been nothing but pleasurable. The staff are friendly and helpful going the extra mile to meet the patients needs. Dr. Thornfeldt is dedicated to the care of his patients, actively listening and responding as he seeks to see the bigger picture.

— Dezra. R (patient since 2019)

The staff at CT Derm is very friendly and helpful. I found the visit very comfortable. Dr. Thornfeldt is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and understanding. I am a former patient of his from when he had an office in Nampa, but due to improved skin issues and major life changes, -- a divorce and move, I didn't follow him to his Fruitland office. After over 12 years, and new skin problems, I knew it was time make the drive. I trust him completely and appreciate his experience and expertise.
