Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery precisely removes skin cancer while preserving healthy tissue. Our fellowship-trained dermatologist uses microscopic analysis to ensure complete cancer removal with minimal scarring. This outpatient procedure is ideal for facial or complex skin cancers, offering high cure rates and optimal cosmetic outcomes.
Skin Cancer Check
Comprehensive skin examinations detect early signs of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. Our team uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify suspicious lesions, providing timely biopsies and treatment recommendations. Regular screenings are crucial for patients with high-risk factors or prolonged sun exposure.
Radiation Therapy
Targeted radiation therapy treats skin cancer in patients unsuitable for surgery. This non-invasive option delivers precise radiation doses to destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. We coordinate care with oncology specialists to ensure comprehensive treatment planning.
Post-Operative Care
Our post-operative protocol includes wound monitoring, scar management, and activity guidance to optimize healing. Patients receive personalized follow-up plans to ensure proper recovery and long-term skin health. Our team provides ongoing support for surgical site care and complication prevention.
Wound Care
Specialized wound management promotes healing after skin cancer removal. We employ advanced dressings and infection prevention techniques for complex surgical sites. Our staff educates patients on home care practices to minimize scarring and accelerate tissue repair.
