Dr. Iona Chapman

Dr. Chapman was born and raised in New Mexico. She completed her undergraduate training at Barnard College of Columbia University, earning a BA in biology and graduating summa cum laude. She then traveled to Dallas, Texas for medical school at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center where she was elected into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. Heading north, Iona completed her intern year in internal medicine at Loyola Medical Center and then her three year dermatology residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago where she served as Chief Resident. Her interest in dermatologic surgery lead her to pursue a fellowship in Mohs micrographic surgery at the University of Alabama at Birmingham where she focused on the treatment of cutaneous cancers.

Dr. Chapman is happy to return to the southwest to serve the dermatological needs of Houston-area residents. Her practice focuses on the treatment, prevention and detection of skin cancers (including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma). In addition to performing Mohs surgery to treat these cancers, Dr. Chapman is also trained to remove benign growths such as lipomas and cysts. She prides herself on considering the needs of each individual and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.

Dr. Chapman is a board-certified dermatologist and a board-certified Mohs surgeon. She is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology and the American College of Mohs Surgery. She has published articles in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, Journal of the American Medical Association Dermatology, Dermatologic Surgery, and the American Journal of Dermatopathology. Dr. Chapman and her husband enjoy exploring the great outdoors and trying new recipes.
