WP:PROMO for a run-of-the-mill dermatologist. Doctors are very often affiliated with hospitals, and very often publish in scientific journals. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 04:46, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Struck "run-of-the-mill" as misleading per the below. Misreading of the evidence on my part. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 19:07, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's always harder to judge with doctors, particularly with anything to do with dermatology, laser surgery, etc. But this doctor certainly does not appear to be "run-of-the-mill". GoogleScholar gives him the h-index of 76, which is astonomically high, for any discipline. Although in medicine many "best doctor in ..." type listings are not worth much as honors, he has a number of individual society awards (I added a couple to the article) of the type that WP:PROF has in mind. Also he was president of two scolarly/medical societies which could perhaps count as passing WP:PROF. In any case, one can't fake an h-index of 76. So I'll say that passes WP:PROF.

 * Keep per WP:PROF and maybe #C6 as above. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
