Mohs Surgery
Mohs micrographic surgery precisely removes skin cancer while preserving healthy tissue. Our fellowship-trained surgeons use microscopic evaluation to achieve 97%+ cure rates. This office-based procedure treats basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other complex skin cancers with immediate reconstruction options.
Skin Cancer Screening
Comprehensive skin examinations identify early cancer signs through visual inspection and dermatoscopy. Our board-certified dermatologists perform annual screenings and evaluate suspicious lesions using biopsy analysis in our on-site laboratory for rapid diagnosis.
Photodynamic Therapy
This two-step treatment uses photosensitizing agents and specific light wavelengths to destroy cancer cells. Effective for actinic keratoses and superficial skin cancers, the procedure targets abnormal cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
Basal Cell Carcinoma Treatment
We offer multiple treatment options including Mohs surgery, excision, and topical therapies for basal cell carcinoma. Our specialists create personalized plans considering tumor location, size, and patient health factors to ensure complete removal with optimal cosmetic outcomes.
Melanoma Diagnosis
Early melanoma detection through comprehensive skin exams and biopsy analysis. Our specialists identify suspicious lesions using dermoscopy and provide prompt diagnosis through in-house pathology services, followed by appropriate surgical intervention when needed.
