The women at Skin Wellness Center of Alabama (SWCA) discovered their passions for healthcare at different times, but all three agree that dermatology is a fitting specialty. SWCA offers many dermatologist services, including laser, cosmetic and medical procedures.
Rayna Dyck is an associate physician at SWCA and a resident of Homewood. In eighth grade she realized that she wanted to be a physician. Her mother was also in the healthcare field, and Dyck saw how much people called on her when something was wrong. She wanted to help people in the same way. Her time at medical school led her to realize that dermatology’s combination of medical diseases, procedures and pathology were a perfect fit for her.
At SWCA, Dyck works with patients of all ages, with everything from rashes to lumps to hair loss. She also performs cosmetic procedures and surgical treatments. Her position is a blessing, she said, because she loves where she lives and works and what she does.
Spending her free time with friends and family – especially her nieces and nephews – is very important to Dyck. She also loves to run, and singing with church and community choirs.
Nurse practitioner Brittany Rigsby, a Hoover resident, realized she wanted to work in medicine when she was just a kid. Rigsby went to work with her mom, a pediatric nurse, and developed an interest in the medical field. During her time as a nurse practitioner, Rigsby found melanoma in the early stages and saved a patient’s life. That was when she knew dermatology would be her specialty. She is responsible for examining, diagnosing and treating dermatological conditions in patients of all ages.
Rigsby lives in Hoover with her husband and two sons, and she enjoys spending any free time with her family at their house on Smith Lake.
Physician assistant Jaime Dunn found her specialty halfway through PA school. She enjoyed all of her classes, but she was most interested in studying skin conditions and getting to know her patients. This led her to pursue dermatology, a field that combines long-term relationships, a fast-paced environment, and a diversity of clinic and procedures. As a certified physician assistant, she examines, diagnoses and treats patients, and performs procedures such as biopsies, chemical peels and other specialty procedures.
Dunn lives in Homewood and has recently started spending her free time working on her golf skills. She also enjoys spending time with her family and friends, cheering at Alabama football games, walking her dog Snuggles, and enjoying the food and entertainment that the Birmingham area offers.
