Peak Skin Center Named a Top 3 Finalist for Best Healthcare in Fuquay-Varina

Posted on: December 19th, 2025 by Our Team

Peak Skin Center is honored to share that the practice has been recognized as one of three finalists for Best Healthcare in Fuquay-Varina. The award is organized and presented through the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce, and the three finalists were identified based on votes from the community at large. This combination of Chamber recognition and community support makes the nomination especially meaningful to the entire team.

This year, more than 30 healthcare offices were included in the running across a wide range of specialties and services. Being named among the top three in such a large and talented group is a distinction board-certified dermatologist Dr. Thomas Knackstedt and the entire practice deeply appreciates. Being selected as a finalist reflects the impact of the care, compassion, and attention that go into each interaction with those the practice serves.

From its earliest days, Peak Skin Center has aimed to create an environment where individuals feel heard, respected, and well cared for. The nomination as a Best Healthcare finalist suggests that these values are resonating beyond the clinic’s walls. It also highlights the strength of Fuquay-Varina’s healthcare community, which is filled with dedicated professionals who work every day to support the health and well-being of local residents.

Peak Skin Center extends sincere thanks to the patients and families whose trust, feedback, and willingness to share their experiences played a role in this nomination. The practice is deeply grateful to its staff members, whose professionalism, kindness, and dedication shape the experience of every person who walks through the door. Appreciation is also extended to the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce for hosting and administering these awards, as well as to the broader community whose votes ultimately identified the three finalists. The support, engagement, and encouragement from the community at large are central to this recognition.

Looking ahead, Peak Skin Center views this nomination not as a final milestone, but as motivation to continue raising the standard of dermatologic and aesthetic care in Fuquay-Varina. In the coming year, the practice remains committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-based treatment plans tailored to individual needs, while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere where questions are encouraged and concerns are taken seriously. The team will continue to refine and expand services in response to what patients and families find most helpful, and will work collaboratively with other local healthcare professionals to support comprehensive care throughout the community.

The practice is grateful for the opportunity to care for this community and is proud to be recognized, through the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce and the votes of local residents, as a top three finalist for Best Healthcare and as the leading dermatology practice in the area. Peak Skin Center looks forward to continuing to serve Fuquay-Varina and surrounding communities including Apex, Holly Springs, and Cary in the years ahead with a sustained commitment to quality, compassion, and patient-centered care.
