Thomas Pino graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Biology, and embarked on a career in aviation, first as a commercial pilot, then as a FAA certified flight instructor. He later went back to school to pursue a career in medicine, and graduated with highest honors from Nova Southeastern University with a Masters in Medical Science. During his rotations, chose dermatology because he enjoys the visual aspect of diagnosis and management of skin disorders. He enjoys general and cosmetic dermatology, and his expert hand/eye coordination as a pilot have enabled him to master many of the surgical aspects of dermatology. Thomas volunteers his time with the Boy Scouts, and enjoys camping, fishing and hiking with his wife and boys.
