Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin, the largest organ of the body; a specialty with both medical and surgical aspects. A dermatologist is a specialist doctor who manages skin diseases and deals with both internal and external causes and some cosmetic concerns involving the skin. Dermatological duties include taking consultations, providing screening tests, and undertaking non-invasive surgical procedures.

In his spare time, Dr. Paull enjoys spending time with his family and grandchildren, is an avid fly fisherman, and does classical music recording for a number of orchestras and performance groups in the Tri-State area.
