Drive Times From Your Community
Times below reflect typical traffic on routes we verified with Google Maps; rush hour on I-275 can add a few minutes, one more reason patients like the 7:45 AM slots. We're the single-story building at 2301 W M.L.K. Jr Blvd, Suite 100, just east of N Armenia Ave.
- Ybor City & Tampa Heights
about 10–15 minutes · 4–5 miles
The simplest trip on this page: head west on E Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd and stay on it. Our office is directly on MLK, just east of N Armenia Ave. No highway needed.
- Temple Terrace
about 20 minutes · 10 miles
Take E Busch Blvd west to I-275 South, exit at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, and head west. Surface-street alternative: Fowler or Busch to N Florida Ave, then south to MLK.
- New Tampa & Tampa Palms
about 25 minutes · 12–13 miles

- Lutz
about 25 minutes · 14 miles

I-275 South (or I-75 South to I-275) to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Blvd exit, then west. Pairing your visit with errands in Tampa makes the trip earn its keep, and early slots mean you can be seen and headed home before mid-morning.
What to Expect When You Arrive
The visit itself is built to respect the drive you made, and the full menu of dermatology services means one office covers whatever your skin needs.
Easy In, Easy Out
Free parking directly outside a single-story building, no garage, no elevator, step-free from your car to the exam room. Arrive 15 minutes early for first-visit paperwork and you're in.
Benefits Verified First
Our front office checks your insurance before your visit, so the cost conversation happens on the phone, not at checkout after a 25-minute drive. How costs work here.
One Physician, Every Visit
Dr. Brady, board-certified, 5.0 stars across 155 Google reviews, personally conducts every appointment, from a child's eczema to a full-body skin cancer screening.
Questions Patients Ask Before the Drive
Is the drive really worth it when there are offices closer to me?
That depends on what you want from a dermatologist. Patients drive in from Wesley Chapel and Lutz because every visit here is conducted personally by Dr. Brady, a board-certified dermatologist, and because first appointments start at 7:45 AM, you can often be seen and back on I-275 before the workday starts.
What's parking like at a central Tampa office?
Easier than the location suggests: we're in a single-story building with free parking right outside the door and step-free access from your car to the exam room. No garage, no meters, no elevator.
Will you take my insurance?
Most likely: Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Medicare, Tricare, and UnitedHealthcare are all accepted, along with most other major plans. Our front office verifies your benefits before your visit so you know your expected cost ahead of time. Call (813) 771-5500 and we'll check your specific plan.
Can my whole family be seen in one trip?
Yes, Dr. Brady treats infants through grandparents, so a single drive can cover a child's rash, a teen's acne, and a parent's annual skin check. Booking family appointments back-to-back is exactly the kind of thing our schedulers are happy to arrange.
