Michael Steppie(II)
Michael Steppie, M.D., is the president and medical director of Associates in Dermatology, a leading dermatology practice , with 16 Locations, established for the last 35 years in Central Florida.
He is a board-certified physician who has completed residencies in internal medicine, dermatology and dermatologic surgery and is also a Mohs micro graphic skin cancer surgeon.
Dr. Steppie works continuously to spread the word about skin cancer risks, treatments and preventive measures. His practice reflects his combined focus on research, patient care as well as skin care. Indeed, as the leading skin cancer and skin care specialist in Central Florida, he has become a favorite interviewee in the media on national and local news on topics involving skin's health and beauty.
Back in 2010, he diagnosed a patient with a very rare disease, CTX -Cerebrotendenous Xantomatosis-, oftentimes under reported/undiagnosed ; with only 100 cases reported at the time in the US.
This experience drove him to want to be a patient advocate and realize the need for patient and physician education about CTX. To that end, I appeared in a segment for "Mystery Diagnosis", broadcasted by Discovery Channel -Episode 808 - "The Girl Who Was Covered With Bumps", as he unveiled this rarely diagnosed case. He was glad that his initiative helped get a drug approved by the FDA to help treat this deadly disease.
Research with Results Michael Steppie, MD goes beyond clinical practice and his involvement in the community to pursue dermatologic research that may advance skin cancer detection. One of his lines of research, in collaboration with Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute at Lake Nona, involved identifying bio-markers that may predict susceptibility to melanoma. "The promise of finding cancer early, when it can be most effectively treated, is really exciting," Dr. Steppie says. "Identifying melanoma bio-markers could be the first step in developing earlier, more reliable diagnostics that could, in turn, reduce deaths." This collaborative melanoma research was published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology in April 2017. Dr. Steppie also contributed to a breakthrough study on vitiligo, published only five months later.
