Mercy Dermatology Center Opens

MASON CITY - After months of preparation, Mercy Dermatology Center is open to care for patients.

Mercy Dermatology Center, located at 1421 4th Street SW, the former location of Stadheim Jewelers, offers close parking and is on the ground level, which means no stairs to climb or elevators to wait for.

“It’s a wonderful inviting area for patients and allows for future growth of services for our physicians and staff,” said Kim Price, Vice President, Physician Support Services.  “While the center is new, the staff continues to be the same people North Iowa has come to rely on for expert care.”

Physicians and providers of Mercy Dermatology Center are: C. Joseph Plank M.D.; James Karkos M.D.; Tanusin Ploysangam, M.D.; Lisa Hedrick, PA-C; and Kim Larson, ARNP. To make an appointment call the center’s new telephone number, 641-494-2080.

Leaders of Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa announced in March that the two Mercy Dermatology Clinics – Mercy Dermatology – Dr. Karkos and Mercy Dermatology – Dr. Plank – would consolidate.
