One of the most important moments of Dr. Zirwas’ life happened while he was a young dermatologist and realized that so much of what he was being taught to tell patients didn’t have any proof to back it up. Even worse was that much of what he was supposed to tell them either didn’t work or was making their problems worse. At that moment he started looking for the actual causes for what he was seeing in his patients and for explanations that made sense.
He has published over 180 peer reviewed medical articles and is one of the authors of the 7th Edition of Fisher’s Contact Dermatitis.
Dr. Zirwas received his undergraduate and medical school degrees from the University of Pittsburgh. He completed his dermatology residency at the University of Pittsburgh and did additional training at Penn State University and the Cleveland Clinic.
He has two daughters, Margaret and Susannah, ages 18 and 14, an African Pygmy Hedgehog name Rito (short for Burrito) and two Bengal cats – a brother and sister named Cinnamon and Sugar.

Cait is a Clinical Research Coordinator. She has been a part of the Bexley family for a combined 5 years, initially working as a medical assistant in the clinic. After graduating from Ohio State University, Cait began working on the side of research as an RA.
"I love being able to apply my passion for dermatology to my every day work. I'm able to contribute towards new & exciting dermatological advancements, form close connections with my patients, and even better see many patients improve -- all without having to navigate around the common barriers we see in Standard of Care treatment. For me, it's the best of both worlds!"
Cait's day off is typically spent cuddling her fur- babies- Oliver (kitty) and Iris (Husky pup), reading fantasy fiction, watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S, or spending time with family/friends.
As you walk into Bexley Dermatology Research, Millie is the first friendly face that greets you! Millie has been with the company for years and now serves as the Clinical Research Administrative Assistant. She is inspired by the physical and emotional results she sees in participants.
Millie’s day off might be spent watching a scary movie or satisfying her love for dinosaurs by watching Jurassic Park for the hundredth time. She also enjoys hanging out and casually listening to music.
We're lucky to have Millie as part of the BDR team!
