Services
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is a precise treatment for skin cancer, offering up to a 99% cure rate. Our Fellowship-Trained surgeons remove cancerous cells layer by layer, preserving healthy tissue. Ideal for head, neck, and high-risk areas, this technique minimizes scarring while ensuring complete tumor removal through real-time microscopic analysis.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Our cosmetic dermatology services address aging, texture, and skin imperfections. Options include laser therapy, chemical peels, and injectables like BOTOX and JUVEDERM. These non-invasive treatments rejuvenate skin, reduce wrinkles, and enhance natural features while maintaining safety and long-lasting results.
Laser Treatments
Laser treatments target wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation using focused light energy. Our advanced lasers stimulate collagen production and repair damaged skin. This non-surgical option improves tone and texture with minimal downtime, suitable for facial and body rejuvenation.
Skin Cancer Diagnosis
We specialize in identifying skin cancers like melanoma, basal, and squamous cell carcinomas. Through thorough exams and biopsies, our experts detect abnormalities early. Timely diagnosis ensures effective treatment planning, reducing risks and improving patient outcomes through proactive care.

Participate in dermatology-focused clinical trials testing new therapies for conditions like psoriasis and eczema. These studies offer access to innovative treatments while contributing to medical advancements. Our research team ensures patient safety and adherence to rigorous scientific standards.

Report
Tammy Van Dyke was great as always. Not a long wait. I'm pretty happy with SCD in general. My only problem is that the billing department has twice told me I owe money and refused to make me an appointment until I paid it. Turns out I did not Have an outstanding balance, which I knew. Refusing to make an appointment because they think you owe money is really not acceptable. It's too hard to get appointments. Make an appointment and then cancel it if they don't pay by the time the appointment is but don't refuse to make appointments for people who have had skin cancer.

I can't say enough about the excellent service and care that both my husband and myself have received from the Skin Cancer and Dermatology facility. We have seen both Tammy Van Dyke and Dr. Stadler over the years. No matter what challenging medical procedures we face, we are met with reassurance as well as highly skilled care. The entire staff are efficient and kind. Highly recommend!
