Full breach record for Skin Center →Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing
This row is a claim by the ransomware group Thegentlemen on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.

skincenter.com Skin Center dermatology clinic in Fort Lauderdale, FL (6550 N Federal Hwy, Suite 320) with 40+ years of practice roots (formerly Dr. Roger Stewart's clinic, led by Dr. Barry Galitzer since the 2010s). Full spectrum: medical dermatology, Mohs surgery for skin cancer, cosmetic injectables/lasers (Botox, CoolSculpting, Ultherapy, Fraxel), an Acne Center, aesthetics, and massage. The hidden headline: since 2021 it's owned by Forefront Dermatology (125+ clinics, backed by Canadian pension fund OMERS Private Equity) — billing, records, and HR run through the network, not the local brand. Doctors rate excellent (Galitzer 4.7/5 on Healthgrades; Castle Connolly Top Doctor), but admin/office process is the weak spot — complaints cite long waits, forgotten patients, and a brusque bedside manner. Team: ~10 providers (Galitzer, Fien, Perrotto, Soro, White, Brown + PAs), plus a second office in Pompano Beach; 200+ patients/day, 10,000 sq ft.

Evidence ladder
Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.
Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.
Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.
Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.
No regulatory filing corroborates this yet — it is the attacker's own assertion. Watch this entity to be notified the moment a filing corroborates or contradicts it.
