Blake Boudreaux, M.D.

Dr. Blake Boudreaux was born and raised in Atlantic Beach, Florida. He has been a part of the Beaches Dermatology family since birth as the oldest son of Dr. Clarence Boudreaux who founded the practice in 1989. As a teenager, Dr. Boudreaux’s first summer job was working as a medical records clerk for the Ponte Vedra Beach office. Dr. Boudreaux earned a bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences from the University of Florida in 2014 before attending medical school at LSU Health Shreveport, where he developed an interest in dermatology. After earning his MD, Dr. Boudreaux completed a dermatology research fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona where he helped to develop a gene expression test for squamous cell skin cancer to guide treatment decisions based on an individualized assessment of risk for metastasis and disease-specific death. He also worked on clinical trials investigating novel treatments for a variety of inflammatory skin diseases including lichen planus, necrobiosis lipoidica, and pityriasis rubra pilaris. Dr. Boudreaux then attended dermatology residency at the University of Vermont Medical Center where he received extensive training in general, pediatric, and surgical dermatology. He maintained an interest in research during residency, leading a study that investigated the outcomes for squamous cell skin cancer managed by watchful waiting alone when lesions appeared to have resolved after a biopsy procedure. The study found a very low recurrence rate with this approach. This work was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology and has potential to reshape established dogma around the treatment of low-risk squamous cell skin cancer and prevent patients from being subjected to unnecessary surgical procedures. Dr. Boudreaux completed residency in June 2025. He is excited to return home to the First Coast and join Beaches Dermatology as an attending physician in September 2025.
