From treating common skin irritations and ailments, to diagnosing and treating skin cancer, Dr. Snyder is trained to treat all aspects of skin-related conditions. While her main interest is in medical dermatology, she also concentrates on the skin rejuvenation aspect of skincare, which includes an organic approach to optimizing the look of the skin by using the latest cosmetic treatments to assist both men and women to look and feel their best. 

Striving to enhance the skin’s natural beauty, her dermatology practice is equipped with the latest technology and equipment to accurately diagnose common skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and many other skin ailments. She blends a unique combination of art and science to rejuvenate the skin in a safe and healthy manner, striving to attain the results her patients desire. She is an expert injector and uses fillers and neurotoxins (ie, BOTOX®) to create a softer facial appearance, as well as laser technology to transform the skin and remove unwanted irregularities. With precision and accuracy, Dr. Snyder also performs skin cancer screenings, and is able to diagnose and recommend treatment for various types of cancers, including the lesions, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma–one of the most dangerous forms of skin cancer.

She is the Co-Founder of W3LL People, a beauty conscious line of cosmetic products that deliver natural “no-makeup” results by using all natural formulas. At this time, Dr. Snyder is also a part-time Medical Director at E.L.F. Cosmetics. 

Among her professional affiliations, she is a member of the Travis County Medical Society, the Texas Medical Association, the Texas Dermatology Society, the American Academy of Dermatology, and the Austin Dermatology Society (past President). 

A native Texan originally from El Paso, Dr. Snyder is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. She completed her medical training at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, where she was in the School of Medicine Honors Program, graduated Magna Cum Laude, and was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Society. She completed her internship at Christus St. Joseph Hospital in Houston, and her residency in dermatology at the University of Texas Medical Branch.

Blending art and medicine, she is board-certified in dermatology by the American Board of Dermatology (ABD). The ABD is a voluntary, non-profit, private, autonomous organization formed for the primary purpose of protecting the public interest by establishing and maintaining high standards of training, education and qualifications of physicians rendering care in dermatology.

Alongside her clinical role, Dr. Snyder is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, and on the volunteer faculty for the dermatology residency program at the University of Texas at Austin-Dell Medical School. She also serves as a member of the Development Board of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.

Listed as a “Super Doctor”, she has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, has presented at several scientific meetings, and has been co-author of a book chapter in Dermatology in General Medicine. 

Dermatology is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin, the largest organ of the body; a specialty with both medical and surgical aspects. A dermatologist is a specialist doctor who manages skin diseases and deals with both internal and external causes and some cosmetic concerns involving the skin. Dermatological duties include taking consultations, providing screening tests, and undertaking non-invasive surgical procedures.

In 2019, Dr. Snyder was named to Austin Monthly’s Top Doctors list for Dermatologists in Austin, Texas. Her peers honored her as a “Rising Star” from 2012 – 2014 and a “Super Doctor” in 2015 and 2016.

Happily married, she and her husband, Dr. Ned Snyder IV, MD, have three children. They enjoy working alongside one another at Snyder Dermatology, working to change lives in the Austin community and raising their family here.
