After working in dermatology in other practices for over a decade, John Tieman, FAAD, set out on his own in 1991. His mission then was to provide patients with the care they might expect to receive in a large city, but in New Braunfels. He also pledged to take time with each person in his office. Time to listen. Time to explain. And time to fully address every patient’s needs and concerns.
Today, nothing’s changed other than the addition of a few more staff members and Erika Kelso, a superb Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in medical and cosmetic dermatology – and expert care and service, of course.
We look forward to serving you.
Dr. Tieman is a native of Austin, Texas and attended the University of Texas at Austin. Immediately after college, he worked as a microbiologist at the Texas Department of Health in the Parasitology and Virology laboratories.

After a 2-year Internal Medicine Residency at the University of Kentucky, he returned to San Antonio for a 3-year Dermatology Residency.
