Board-certified Dermatologist
Mary E. Hurley, MD

Dr. Mary Hurley is a board-certified dermatologist and is the President and founder of North Dallas Dermatology Associates.  She graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1992 with a Bachelor of Arts, cum laude.  She then attended Tulane University Medical School and was selected in her junior year to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society.  In 1997, she completed her internship in Internal Medicine at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, Illinois.  She then came to Dallas for residency training in Dermatology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

During residency, Dr. Hurley served as Chief Dermatology Resident at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. There she conducted clinical research on the efficacy of chemical peels for the treatment of melasma; a skin condition characterized by brown facial pigmentation that is particularly common among darker skin types and pregnant women (also known as “el paño” or “the mask of pregnancy”). Dr. Hurley’s research on the subject is published in the Archives of Dermatology. Dr. Hurley has served as a clinical instructor at Children’s Medical Center of Dallas.

Dr. Hurley has been selected as one of the “Best Doctors in Dallas” by D Magazine for 20 years. She was also named as an Influential Woman in Medicine by Modern Luxury Magazine in 2021. She served five years on the board of the Texas Dermatological Society and one year as Vice President (2006 – 2007).  She has also served the Dallas-Fort Worth Dermatological Society for two years as Vice President (2005 – 2007) and one year as President (2008). As of July 2015, Dr. Hurley became part of the Speakers Bureau for Kybella.

HISTORY

Dr. Hurley started the practice in December of 2000 and it was just a little “candy shop”. The practice had just one front-desk person and one back-office person. It has since grown to offer a full comprehensive array of services from medical, cosmetic, pediatric, and surgical dermatology.

I believe that it is important to offer my patients a non-pressure approach and to really listen to what their skin care interests are. I start off by handing my patients a mirror and discussing what they see. It is really important to me to understand their specific areas of concern because what I see may not always be what they see. I take the time to understand where my patients are currently with their skin needs and where they would like to be. My goal is to help each person look refreshed and feel good about the skin they are in. I think the art of cosmetic dermatology is to make it look like you haven’t had anything done. It is not a cookie cutter approach — you have to customize what people want based on how they view themselves, make it look proportional and the key is to make sure that they still look natural."
