Amber Blair,
PA-C

Amber Blair, PA-C has an extensive and diverse background in healthcare spanning over 2 decades. She began her career by working in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), after graduating summa cum laude from the University of Central Florida’s Cardiopulmonary Science Program. She would then go on to continue furthering her education, graduating cum laude from the Physician Assistant – Master of Medical Science (M.M.S.) program at Nova Southeastern University.

Amber’s practice in dermatology began in Florida in 2012, where she worked alongside a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon and gained invaluable knowledge. Perhaps it was through her experience in Mohs, a specialized skin cancer surgery that seeks to deliver the smallest possible scar and the highest cure rate, that Amber developed an eye for the art of cosmetic dermatology. She is passionate about helping her patients feel more confident in both their skin health and their appearance – which led her to seek advanced training in cosmetic dermatologic procedures as well as laser and light-based technologies, in addition to her surgical training. She also maintains a keen focus in general dermatology with a special interest in psoriasis and acne. Amber’s multifaceted approach to dermatology allows for a diverse and fulfilling clinical practice.

Amber has many passions within the field of dermatology, both in and out of the clinical setting. She has been an adjunct faculty member for Nova Southeastern University’s MMS Physician Assistant program, has lectured at the Maui Derm NP+PA conferences and has served as a preceptor for a PA fellowship-style training program. Amber is currently President for the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants (SDPA), a national non-profit membership association. She was voted into this position after being on the board of directors and fulfilling the roles of both Secretary Treasurer and Director at Large. Amber has multiple articles published in peer-reviewed dermatology journals, has served as a guest editor and member of the editorial advisory board for “NP+PA Perspectives in Dermatology”, a peer-reviewed and Pubmed-indexed supplement series to The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, and was recently named JDPA’s new PA author of the Year award for 2023.

Amber now resides in Charlotte with her husband, 17-year-old son and (very spoiled) mini-bernedoodle. When not working, Amber enjoys spending time with her family (her oldest daughter lives in Charlotte as well!), cooking, yoga and traveling. Grateful for where her journey has taken her thus far, Amber follows a very simplistic philosophy in life: “Have passion for everything that you do… combine that with focus, drive and hard work… everything else will fall into place”.
