Joseph J Stuckert II

MD, FAAD

Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology (FAAD)

Dr. Stuckert was born in Emsworth, less than 10 miles from his current office, where he spent his childhood. He later moved to the South Hills and graduated from Upper St. Clair High School in 1999.

He remembers riding the bus with his mom to the Carnegie Children’s Library, and after seeing the Cathedral of Learning, he knew he wanted to attend Pitt. At the University of Pittsburgh he majored in neuroscience and graduated in 2003.

Following his undergraduate studies he attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Between his third and fourth years of medical school he spent a dedicated year pursuing melanoma research at Hillman Cancer Center with Dr. John Kirkwood. It was during this year working with oncologists, dermatologists and surgeons that Dr. Stuckert developed a deep interest in skin cancer and specifically melanoma.

Dr. Stuckert then completed his dermatology residency at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals of Cleveland. He moved back to Pittsburgh to be close to his mom who was undergoing cancer treatment.

He spent the first ten years of his career practicing general medical dermatology and dermatological surgery in Monroeville. He thoroughly enjoyed developing personal relationships with his patients and caring for them over many years.

Dr. Stuckert moved back to the North Hills in 2015 where he lives with his wife, twin boys, Joey and Max, and youngest son Titus. It is a busy season for his household right now. Dr. Stuckert is excited to open his own dermatology practice and be close to his family. And he and his wife are expecting their fourth son in April 2024!

In his free time he enjoys taking hikes in remote wilderness with his wife, climbing mountains under star light, and enjoying the diverse restaurants of Pittsburgh. Then he and his wife decided to have a lot of children. He now enjoys peacefully mowing his lawn, rough housing with his boys, and dressing up with his family for Halloween.

“I have never met a more brilliant and compassionate doctor as Dr. Stuckert. He is a one of a kind and I am truly blessed that I found him. He saved my life by looking into a benign cyst further than any doctor had done in the past. He is kind, he is smart, he is the best of the best. The office staff is just the same. If you want someone who will take care of you as if you are family, book with DR. STUCKERT. I wish he could be my doctor for everything. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. He caught something at the early stages and I will always be forever grateful and speechless. Thank you, Dr. Stuckert.”

“At 93 years old my mother unexpectedly developed a very painful and blistering rash on her body. Her primary doctor, unable to determine the cause of the rash, referred my mother to Premier Medical Associates-Dermatology. At her initial consultation visit, my mother was examined by Doctor Stuckert and was prescribed medication to relieve her discomfort. He also ordered extensive blood and lab testing of the rash to more clearly identify her condition. Testing determined that my mother was suffering from a rare condition known as Bullous Pemphigoid. Apparently, treatment for this condition can be challenging for any individual, but, especially for a patient advanced in years. During her second office visit, Doctor Stuckert patiently explained in detail to my mother what was causing her rash and his planned regimen to treat the condition. Subsequent follow up office visits, and medication adjustments have managed to keep her condition under control for the past two years. At each office visit, Doctor Stuckert always takes a few moments to talk with my mother, ask how she is doing and listen to her complaints and thoughts about life in general before evaluating her skin condition. After each visit, I am impressed with the level of compassion and gentle care received by my mother from not only Doctor Stuckert but his entire office staff. My mother who speaks Hungarian simply describes Doctor Stuckert as “nagyon jo’ orvos.” (very good doctor.) I consider my mother fortunate that she is under the care of Doctor Stuckert and his team of professionals.”
