site has 13 exam rooms and 2 surgery rooms. There is a large
research storage room which contains a dedicated refrigerator for
study medication, -70 degree Celsius freezer, a wall locker, and
large capacity shelving space to accommodate study materials. In

Dr. Goffe's predominant research focus lies in psoriasis, a
chronic skin condition characterized as a noncontagious
inflammatory skin disease characterized by recurring reddish
patches covered with silvery scales. He is well known for his
efforts in the diagnosis and treatment of psoriasis. Dr. Goffe

new biological treatments such as topical steroids, oral retinoids,
