Rochester Regional Health has acquired Rochester Dermatologic Surgery in Victor, expanding the health system's general dermatology and Mohs surgery services in the Finger Lakes.
The practice became Rochester Regional Health Dermatology & Mohs Surgery — Victor on Wednesday. It will continue operating at 7400 Pittsford Victor Road and will also offer cosmetic injectables.
RRH said the acquisition brings an established team of dermatology specialists into the health system while adding resources and surgical capacity. The expansion is intended to help meet growing regional demand for dermatologic care closer to where patients live and work.
Current providers Sherrif F. Ibrahim, a physician and Ph.D.; William Sipprell, a physician; and nurse practitioner Kelly Demchuk will remain at the Victor office. Physician Gian Vinelli will also provide care as RRH works to expand the practice's clinical resources and appointment access.
Vinelli said joining the practice with a larger health system will build on the care already available in Victor and connect patients and providers with additional resources. He said the move strengthens RRH's ability to provide dermatology and Mohs surgery across the region.
Ibrahim said patients will continue receiving care from the team they know while gaining the support of Rochester Regional Health. RRH described the acquisition as part of a broader effort to expand specialty care in Finger Lakes communities.
The health system includes nine hospitals as well as primary and specialty practices, rehabilitation centers, ambulatory campuses, urgent care facilities, senior services, behavioral health programs and laboratories. Its service area includes Western New York, the Finger Lakes and St. Lawrence County.
Mohs surgery is among the specialized services that will remain available at the Victor site. RRH said the acquisition adds surgical capacity without requiring existing patients to move to a different location or provider team.
