"Dermatology" in the directory is more often a multi-specialty clinic

Ultrasound appears in businesses listed under "dermatology" more often than the dermatovenerologist (a skin specialist) does: 318 of 767 against 266 of 767, 41% against 35%. We counted every such business in the open directory

What services do dermatology clinics list?

Ultrasound, ECG, and pediatrician rank above the dermatovenerologist in the list. A business that comes up for the search "dermatologist" is more often a multi-specialty clinic than a stand-alone skin office

For a patient this is rather convenient: tests and ultrasound can be done in the same visit. But you cannot search the directory for "only a dermatologist": the dermatovenerology department usually sits inside a clinic and has no listing of its own

One example of such a clinic is the KAZMED medical center in Almaty, our partner on ooon.ai, at Aksay-5 microdistrict, building 12A. A dermatologist with 11 years of experience sees patients there. The same center offers an abdominal ultrasound for 10,000 ₸ and biopsy diagnostics of skin diseases for 12,280 ₸. It is open Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 22:00, Saturday from 08:00 to 18:00, and closed on Sunday

When do dermatology clinics work?

78% open on weekends, higher than any other medical field in our comparison. For ultrasound and rehabilitation centers the figure is 63%

What is missing from the listing

What this means for you

1. A business that comes up for "dermatologist" is more often multi-specialty. When you book, ask whether a dermatovenerologist specifically sees patients
2. Weekends are working days at eight businesses out of ten, wider than in the rest of medicine
3. 33% of businesses list an online consultation. For a first question that is enough

What this means for an owner

If you are a stand-alone skin office, multi-specialty clinics surround you in search results. The line "dermatovenerologist" in your list of services sets you apart from them: 35% of your neighbors in the results list it

If you are a clinic and the dermatovenerologist does not see patients every day, say so directly in your schedule. Otherwise a person will arrive on a day with no appointments

Where the numbers come from

The open 2GIS directory, August 2026. We took active businesses that have dermatology among their categories: 767 listings. The list of services was read from what each business reported about itself. Payment methods were excluded from the list so that they would not crowd out the services
