Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery represents the most effective skin cancer treatment available, with cure rates exceeding 99%. Our board-certified surgeons remove cancerous tissue layer by layer while preserving healthy skin. This precise technique ensures complete cancer removal with minimal scarring, particularly effective for complex cases and sensitive areas like the face.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Our cosmetic dermatology services address aesthetic concerns through advanced treatments like IPL, body contouring, and injectables. These non-invasive procedures target fine lines, uneven skin tone, and unwanted fat deposits. Certified estheticians customize treatment plans to enhance natural beauty while maintaining skin health and functionality.
Clinical Dermatology
We diagnose and treat over 3,000 skin conditions ranging from eczema to psoriasis. Our comprehensive approach combines traditional treatments with innovative therapies like patch testing for allergen identification. The in-house lab accelerates diagnosis, enabling prompt treatment for both common and complex dermatological conditions.
Dermatopathology Lab
Our on-site dermatopathology lab provides rapid analysis of skin samples, delivering results faster than external facilities. This specialized service ensures accurate diagnosis of skin cancers and inflammatory conditions. The integrated lab-streamlined workflow reduces wait times for critical treatment decisions.
Skin Cancer Screening
Annual skin cancer screenings examine moles and lesions for early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers. Our physicians use advanced imaging techniques to identify suspicious growths before they become serious. Preventative care includes personalized sun protection guidance and risk assessment.

Dr Burton is warm and kind and very professional. She is willing to listen to you and to answer your questions. I wish I could remember the name of the nurse who helped me. She too was very professional, friendly and helpful. The staff that checked me in and out greeted me warmly, made sure I had what I needed and were very kind. My total experience there was top notch!

What a wonderful experience I had at Columbia Skin Clinic yesterday! I was taken back to a room within 10 minutes of my arrival. The doctor and her assistant were so nice, fun, and sincerely interested in me! They took the time to discuss any problems I had and they made me feel 'heard. This is really a great place to come. Not only are they super good doctors but they're kind and helpful people!
