Services
Medical Dermatology
Our medical dermatology services focus on diagnosing and treating adverse skin conditions through comprehensive evaluations. Patients receive personalized care for issues like psoriasis, acne, rosacea, and skin cancer. Our board-certified dermatologists utilize advanced diagnostic tools and pathology analysis to create effective treatment strategies tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery offers precise skin cancer treatment with tissue-sparing techniques developed by Dr. Fred Mohs. Our specialists remove cancerous growths layer by layer, examining each sample immediately to ensure complete removal while preserving healthy tissue. This method achieves high cure rates for complex or recurrent skin cancers in sensitive areas.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Cosmetic dermatology services enhance skin appearance through non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures. Treatments target facial and neck concerns like wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven texture using FDA-approved techniques. Our providers combine clinical expertise with aesthetic judgment to deliver natural-looking results that align with patients' skincare goals.
Pediatric Dermatology
Specialized care addresses skin, hair, and nail conditions in children and adolescents. Our practitioners create age-appropriate treatment plans for common pediatric issues like eczema, warts, and birthmarks. The approach emphasizes comfort and education, helping young patients develop healthy skincare habits while addressing parental concerns about safety and efficacy.
Phototherapy
Phototherapy utilizes controlled ultraviolet light exposure to manage chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis and vitiligo. Our calibrated treatment protocols deliver targeted UVA and UVB wavelengths to reduce inflammation and regulate skin cell growth. This non-invasive option is carefully monitored to maximize therapeutic benefits while minimizing potential side effects.
