We specialize in diagnosing and treating precancerous lesions, such as actinic keratoses (AKs), as well as the most common forms of skin cancer: basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas.
A baseline total body skin exam is crucial for early detection of skin cancer. It involves examining every square inch of skin and all moles. This comprehensive check helps identify any suspicious lesions early on, which is key in effective treatment and prevention.
The frequency of total body skin exams depends on your skin’s condition, personal health history, and family history of melanoma or other skin cancers. We determine the appropriate frequency during your initial consultation.
If we find a suspicious lesion during the exam, it is usually biopsied immediately. The sample is sent for histopathological examination to determine the nature of the lesion and the appropriate course of treatment.
We offer a range of treatments for non-melanoma skin cancers, including surgical removal of moles and cancers under local anesthesia. For more complex cases requiring Mohs’ surgery, we refer patients to highly skilled Mohs’ specialists.
