Dermatology & Skin Surgery Institute of North Texas

We believe in providing all our patients with a positive experience in a nurturing environment. We look forward to meeting you! Trust your appearance to a physician trained in the art and science of skin, a board-certified dermatologist. Beautiful skin starts on the inside and should be trusted to a dermatologist.

Dr. Brent Spencer is a board certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs Surgeon practicing in Frisco, TX. He practices general dermatology and surgical dermatology with an emphasis on the intricate suturing techniques of facial and neck reconstructions. Additionally, he specializes in cosmetic dermatology, including laser treatments and cosmetic injectables, such as Botox and fillers.

Mohs surgery is an advanced technique where the physician serves as the surgeon, pathologist, and reconstructive surgeon. During the initial portion of the procedure, the surgeon removes a layer of skin around the visible portion of the tumor. Immediate microscopic examination of the tissue removed allows the surgeon to map out the skin cancer, beyond what is visible to the naked eye, and remove additional tissue from only the areas that are involved with the tumor.The removal process stops when there is no longer any evidence of cancer remaining in the surgical site.

Our patient portal is a new tool that existing patients can use to communicate with the practice via the Internet. Current functionality will allow patients to view appointments, send messages to the practice, view a summary of a visit, and change contact information. In the future, other features will be added including refill requests, viewing of lab results, and scheduling appointments.

My experience with Meridith and her team is always amazing. She is so personable and does a complete examination regardless if my last visit was a day, 6 months or a year!

I enjoyed my visit very much. Front desk lady was polite and professional. I saw the NP and she was awesome! Answered all my questions, the wait was not long. I left feeling confident my issues will be resolved!

I went last yr and saw a np for a yrly exam she was great. This yr I could only get in to see the Dr. He made me feel like a bother didn't smile once and had a horrible unfriendly personality. I was their for my yearly exam He barely looked at me. He didn't look at any part of my body unless I pointed it out to him."that's not an exam" He did ask anything else, anything else. but never properly examined me. This experience alone will not only prevent me from going back here but my experience with him will prevent me from ever seeing a male Dermatologist again.

At the recommendation of a good friend, I visited the Dermatology & Skin Surgery Institute of North Texas for a full checkup and also to check out a few spots on my face. At that point, I hadn't been to the dermatologist in years and was expecting (and communicated said expectation) a full body check, which did not happen. The spot on my forehead needed a biopsy (on Tuesday) and I was told results would be back on Friday.

They close on Friday at 4:30p; by 2:00p on Friday I had yet to receive a phone call so I called the office. I was told results are in and a Medical Assistant would need to call me to discuss. At 4:10p, I'm still waiting so I call back; it's benign, steroid cream will be prescribed. I call my pharmacy on Saturday morning and there is no prescription for me in their system. I call the office and they're closed with no answering service, only a voicemail system.

On Monday morning, having received no phone call by 9:15a, I call them again to order a script for my skin irritation. I am told the Physician's Assistant I saw is only in the office on certain days and the Doctor will need to look at my case to prescribe something. What a circus - find another place.

Highly recommend. Very nice and friendly staff. Meridith McGuffey is a very knowledgeable provider, easy to talk. Everything was explained to details, from the root of the problem to the best treatment available. A+

We have always had the best experience here. Dr. Spencer and staff are the best at caring for any and all skin issues we have had. I have been bringing my children for years and would never think to bring them to anyone else. 5 stars for sure!

I had such a positive experience here being treated for my acne. The appointment was quick but not rushed. They listened to my backstory and provided me with options specific to fit my needs. They also were understanding that I didn't have insurance so they gave me affordable options. Meridith was who I had, very nice!

Elyse is amazing. She's so sweet and friendly with my 9 year old daughter. She takes the time to speak to her and make her feel comfortable with everything going on during the appointment. We are there often with a kiddo with super sensitive skin. Everyone in their office is amazing!

I was so pleased with my experience! The staff was professional and courteous, I was seen exactly at the time of my appointment, received the most thorough skin cancer screening, and was personally escorted throughout my visit. I had another issue of hair thinning and loss and was given an explanation of potential culprits and instructions on what to do next. Not only was this a wonderful experience, the office is aesthetically appealing. This will be my go to for skin care going forward!

Very nice experience. I had only a short wait in the front waiting room. Doctor and staff were very professional and efficient, with a friendly manner. Dr. Spencer was very thorough in his visual exam of all skin zones. I recommend this group to others. By the way, they have a beautiful, modern office.

Love Dr. Spencer and his staff. I don't know how they do it, but I can always get an appointment when I need it, and there is never a wait in the office. I have a toddler, so being able to get in and out of the office in under an hour allows me to make appointments while he has child care. I have a serious skin condition, and they are always compassionate and eager to help me access a new treatment when necessary and available. Dr. Spencer is knowledgeable about the latest biologics.

Meridith McGuffey, (MPAS-PA-C) was absolutely wonderful. She spent time discussing my procedure, was caring and very detailed. She is excellent. Meridith staff assistant was also wonderful and provided both before and after care instructions. This facility is well managed with professional doctors, physician assistants and staff members who tend to your needs. Highly recommend.

I was very pleased with how I was treated by Dr. Spencer and his staff during my recent office visit. Dr. Spencer went the extra mile to make sure he answered all of my questions which I greatly appreciated. The front desk and nurse/PA staff were helpful as well. After my initial visit one year ago, I recommended DSSI to my wife and she was pleased with how she was treated as well.

Dr. Spencer is excellent. Usually right on time and does an excellent job. Very friendly and has an excellent staff. I guess you could say DSS is excellent!

Ive been seeing Dr Spencer for my yearly exams and highly recommend his expertise in the field of Dermatology. Dr Spencer offers an array of up to date skin care and techniques other Dermatologist may not.
Dr Spencer truly cares about his patients and his staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. He is a 10 in my book.

I had an appointment scheduled through my primary physician. The process was uncomplicated and check in was very efficient as I had already filled in the paperwork available on their website (recommend you do that). Once I was taken to the consultation room, Dr. Brent Spencer arrived soon after his assistant spoke with me - I really appreciated the short wait time. Dr. Spencer was professional, friendly, and efficient at diagnosing my case.

He detailed the prognosis and treatment options. My visit was medical. They also have cosmetic and surgical services. The facility was welcoming, clean, and aesthetic - what you'd expect from a dermatology clinic. They have water and a coffee machine at the lobby with enough parking spaces right outside.

Our family loves Dr. Spencer. We have been with his practice for several years. Our teenagers have to go and see him on a regular basis and appointments are always easy and quick. He and his staff are always on time. Everybody is very friendly. Questions are always answered. We would not go anywhere else.

Love the staff! Very friendly and the treatments I have received have made a huge impact on my self-esteem.

Dr. Spencer is young, but extremely knowledgeable. He almost immediately knows what is wrong, and has an answer or a plan. His office staff has always been more than nice, they seem to really care. Even though I live over 40 miles away from his office, I make the trip because he is worth it.

I first met Dr. Spencer when I came into his office to ask about shadowing him this summer. My first impression of him was that he was professional, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable and as I began to follow him every Thursday, I realized just how true that impression of him is. I watched him treat every patient that came through his doors with courtesy and respect. He answered every question and tried his best to make sure the treatment plans wouldn't break the bank.

Along the way, he taught me more than I ever imagined I could learn, not just about dermatology, but about medical school and residency. I am so appreciative that he gave me the opportunity to follow him. As a premed undergraduate, the information and experiences I received are priceless. My family and I are also patients of Dr. Spencer's and every time we see him, we are more and more impressed.

Not only is he an amazing doctor, but his staff is top notch and are some of the kindest people I have ever met. I can't imagine going to any other dermatology center and I strongly recommend Dr. Spencer to anyone who's looking for a skin care facility.

I have never had a bad experience at this office. Every time I go my concerns are addressed with empathy and confidence. I love Dr. Spencer and his entire staff. They always make me feel welcomed and put customer service as their highest priority. If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Thank you Dr. Spencer and staff!!
