Dr. Seth Kates
Dr. Seth Kates, a skilled dermatologist in Worcester, MA, began his medical education as a biochemistry major at Haverford College where he received his Bachelor of Science degree. While attending medical school at the University of Pennsylvania, he fell in love with the field of dermatology and had the privilege of working in a distinguished dermatology lab there. After completing his internship at Dartmouth, he returned to the University of Pennsylvania for his residency in the Department of Dermatology.
