Mark Leach received his M.S. degree from Barry University, with a Physician Assistant certification. His undergraduate degree was from the University of Central Florida with a B.S. in Biology. While in college, he worked in the medical field in a hospital setting. Several of his family members chose careers in health care and that provided the impetus for Mark to do the same. In addition, he wanted to be in a field where he would feel like he was helping people. He chose Dermatology as his specialty because he recognized that he would treat a very wide variety of disease, everything from cancer to a simple rash.

Mark treats patients at the Okeechobee, Ft. Pierce and Port St. Lucie offices. When Mark first joined Water’s Edge Dermatology, he spent several months training with Dr. Schiff. “Every day is a learning experience for me. It’s great to be able to work with such a highly trained and knowledgeable physician like Dr. Schiff,” says Mark. Mark spends considerable time with every patient, so they understand the disease process and how to care for themselves. Mark enjoys getting together in regularly scheduled meetings with WED providers to discuss different cases. He’s married to Nicole and they have three children, twins Mathew and Thomas, and Jack.
