CORAL SPRINGS, FL — Residents dealing with skin, hair or nail conditions no longer need to leave Coral Springs to find specialized dermatology care.

Dermatology Consultants of South Florida (DCSF), which operates three offices across the city, treats virtually every area of dermatology — from routine skin concerns to complex medical conditions — allowing patients to receive diagnosis and treatment close to home.

Founded in the late 1970s by dermatologist Dr. Jeff Kroll, the practice has grown into the largest dermatology provider serving Coral Springs.

Today, the clinics treat children, adults and families with convenient early morning and evening hours designed to fit working schedules.

Services include skin cancer screenings and treatment, acne and rosacea care, eczema and psoriasis management, pediatric dermatology, hair loss treatment, nail disorders and genital skin diseases. Cosmetic procedures such as Botox, fillers and laser treatments are also offered.

Dr. Yuval Bibi, a board-certified dermatologist who serves as the lead physician at the practice’s Belle Terre West location at 3000 N University Drive, joined the Coral Springs group about a year and a half ago and said one of the biggest advantages for patients is that they can receive comprehensive care locally.

“We have extensive experience here in all fields related to dermatology,” Dr. Bibi said.

“We’re able to provide the outstanding and broad range service that we do because of our exceptional physicians, physician assistants, as well as stellar medical assistants and office staff — all dedicated to serve our patients at a world class level,” he added.

Originally from Jerusalem, Israel, Bibi earned both his medical degree and a Ph.D. in developmental neuroscience and zinc biology from Ben-Gurion University.

He later did a postdoctoral research fellowship at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center studying cervical cancer and the human papillomavirus.

He completed his dermatology residency through the combined Boston University–Tufts University program and now treats both adults and children.

Dr. Bibi has special interests in general dermatology, scalp conditions, acne, sensitive skin including rosacea, and genital skin disorders such as lichen sclerosus and balanitis. He is also the bestselling author of Sick Skin: Skincare Made Simple and Baby Skincare.

In his practice, Dr. Bibi often encourages patients to focus on medical treatments rather than relying heavily on the growing skin care product industry.

“A lot of the multi-billion-dollar skin care industry is experience and theater,” he said. “It’s a lot of smoke and mirrors.”

“There’s limited evidence that the skin care industry does more than helping you feel good,” he added.

Sometimes, he said, simplifying routines can lead to dramatic improvements.

In one recent case, a patient who had struggled with dandruff for nearly a decade saw significant improvement after reducing the use of hair products.

“She got almost 100 percent resolution after 10 years of getting no traction in resolving dandruff,” he said.

To provide holistic skincare, the practice carries Butter Oasis — a shea butter body balm created by Dr. Bibi.

Unlike traditional moisturizers, which contain 70–90 percent water and synthetic fillers that offer only temporary relief, Butter Oasis delivers long-lasting protection for dry skin.

Made with just three pure organic ingredients — raw shea butter, cold-pressed cocoa butter, and Moroccan argan oil — it contains no water, fillers, or synthetics.

Dr. Bibi has also observed a rise in inflammation-related skin issues in recent years, a trend dermatologists attribute largely to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prolonged mask use and excessive cleansing have triggered a surge in sensitive skin conditions and related concerns.

“We have the ability here to provide great solutions to these very serious problems,” he said.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Broward County’s once-contaminated properties could become residential housing — including at least two parcels in Coral Springs.

The Infill Redevelopment Act, a new bill sponsored by State Rep. David Borrero (R-Doral) and Sen. Alexis Calatayud (R-Miami), nullifies local restrictions on residential construction on these sites, allowing developers to build housing “up to the average density allowed in any adjacent residential zoning district within the same jurisdiction.”

Design and architectural standards will remain in place.

“The legislation essentially allows for redevelopment of brownfield sites that are in more urban areas specifically to address the housing shortage,” Dr. E. Christian Wells, a professor and director of the Center for Brownfields Research and Redevelopment at the University of South Florida, told the Coral Springs News on Wednesday, March 11.

“It really facilitates housing construction and development, particularly in urban areas, and that’s a good thing, because most brownfield sites in urban areas tend to be in underserved communities, and so this could be a real, tremendous benefit.”

He added that despite the benefits, the policy could also lead to gentrification as new, higher-quality housing is added. This can be offset by a community benefits agreement, which residents can use to ensure that developers create affordable housing, use local labor or contribute funds for various projects.

Wells is also a member and former president of the Florida Brownfields Association, which works to gather and spread information about reuse of former industrial sites. One of the group’s major projects was building the Florida Brownfield Redevelopment Atlas, which tracks local, state and federal cleanup sites.

The act currently only applies to Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Properties eligible for the new policy must fit the following criteria:

It excludes agricultural land and public parks, properties recently owned by a utility company, and those outside of urban growth boundaries or within a quarter-mile of a military installation.

Two parcels in Coral Springs appear to fit the bill, having been treated for presence of industrial chemicals and byproducts in the past two decades.

The largest is a 16-acre parking lot at 12640 Wiles Road. Public records state that in January 1997, officials documented a “discharge” of benzene, a carcinogen, vinyl chloride, and cis-1,2-dichloroethylene.

Following a 2018 tax sale of the property, Sawgrass Development Partners spent about a year bringing groundwater contaminant levels down to the state standards.

The Pan American Coral Springs Brownfield Site, which spans 12400, 12404, and 12408 NW 35th St., also appears to have been remediated. Public filings state that the owners spent over a decade treating its soil and groundwater for perchloroethene, trichloroethene, vinyl chloride and cis-1,2-dichloroethylene.

According to a 2024 Broward County Brownfield Redevelopment Program report, the property was resold in 2020 and is now a commercial warehouse and refrigerated storage space.

The Florida Brownfield Redevelopment Atlas also identified 4000 NW Coral Ridge Drive, a parking lot that once housed a Westinghouse torpedo factory, as a remediated Superfund site. Its eligibility for the Infill Redevelopment Act is unclear.

As for the safety of the potential new development, Wells said that Florida’s current policies protect residents from exposure to known chemical leaks.

“There are a lot of really great statewide laws and regulations in place to do a really good job of taking care of public health and safety. When it comes to brownfield redevelopment, there’s really good regulatory oversight to make sure that soil and ground water and and just the environment in general don’t become further or the contamination doesn’t spread further,” he said.

The bill has passed votes in the Florida House and Senate. If Gov. Ron DeSantis signs it, the Infill Redevelopment Act will become law.

CORAL SPRINGS, FL — For the second city commission in a row, parents and league officials came out Wednesday to express concerns about the Coral Springs move to seek out a vendor to coordinate youth soccer programs.

This time, it was parents and coaches of Springs Soccer Club. During the last city commission meeting, representatives from another organization, Coral Springs Youth Soccer, spoke about their worries regarding the city’s efforts.

In an unusual move, City Attorney John Hearn warned speakers before and during the public comment period about speaking as representatives of the club since the club responded to the city’s request for proposals.

“We have a formal competitive procurement right now involving the soccer program in the city, and there have been several proposals that we've received,” he said.

One of those proposers is the Springs Soccer Club, and if its representatives lobby the city during what is known as the “cone of silence,” that entity could be disqualified.

“So, the city staff have come to me, and they have learned that there have been some emails sent out encouraging individuals to come to the commission and to speak about this competitive procurement process,” Hearn said. “It appears that those emails even have some kind of talking points about what to inform the commission.”

He encouraged parents and others to speak if they’re not associated with the formal lobbying of the city. Many parents and coaches spoke out and did just that, expressing concerns.

Diego Perez, who lives on 84^th Drive in Coral Springs, told commissioners he’s the director of a soccer academy that works in five cities.

“Based on my experience, when a city only allows one soccer entity to provide soccer classes in all parts of the city, this creates disappointment for a portion of the citizens,” he said. “Families want to have freedom of choice when selecting a soccer program based on their needs and their values.”

Hearn interrupted the next speaker who was praising the Springs Soccer Club.

In another unusual move, Mayor Scott Brook allowed the commission members and city leaders to comment on the issue right after the public session. Normally, commission and staff comments occur at the end of the meeting.

Deputy City Manager Brad McKeone explained why the city is seeking proposals to run youth soccer.

“The simple answer is there was a six-year contract that was awarded six years ago,” he said. “That contract is expiring at the end of this month, and we have to go out for another contract, and we have to follow our RFP process.”

Each of the five commissioners also spoke about the city’s move. They talked about the process, which includes a committee making recommendations to the city commission, which will make the ultimate decision.

City officials also said there will be time for the proposers to present and for more public comment.

Valentine's Day is one of the biggest gifting moments of the year in Florida, and Instacart data shows just how much love customers are sending to friends and family.

Cupid's Biggest Day of the Year

When it comes to gifting on the Instacart platform, Valentine's Day stands in a league of its own. Based on 2025 purchase data, Valentine's Day was one of the top two gifting days of the entire year – second only to Mother's Day (hi, Mom!).

Give the Gift of Love, with Flowers

Unsurprisingly, classic Valentine's staples dominated gift orders on February 14 in 2025. Flowers and chocolate reigned supreme, proving that some traditions never go out of style:

The Valentine's Day Timeline

Valentine's Day shopping patterns show a clear spike in sexual wellness essentials. On February 14, orders for Condoms (+62%), Vibrators and Massagers (+74%), and Personal Lubricants (+50%) all surged compared to their yearly averages. While demand remained relatively elevated on February 15, interest tapered off by February 16 – highlighting a concentrated, occasion-driven spike centered on Valentine's Day itself.

From coast to coast, Valentine's Day proves to be a moment when love shows up loud and clear in the cart. Whether it's purchasing fresh cut roses for a loved one or treating yourself to a box of assorted chocolates, Valentine's Day is a powerful snapshot of how people express love through their everyday purchases.

Three recent stories from Coral Springs covered several topics, including a dramatic cold-weather event affecting iguanas, a vibrant community art celebration for Black History Month and reactions to the extension of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians.

Here’s a rundown to catch up:

Story 1: What happened to all those iguanas captured in Coral Springs? We have answers

Unusually cold weather led to masses of invasive green iguanas being stunned and easily captured across South Florida and West Broward, with Coral Springs seeing a particularly high number thanks to record-low temperatures in the area. Trappers in West Broward collected around 1,300 iguanas — about a quarter of the state total — and officials say this rare event will likely have a lasting impact on the region’s iguana population.
