Skin Cancer Screening

Our AAD-certified skin cancer screenings provide early detection of potential skin malignancies through comprehensive visual examinations. Our board-certified dermatologists use advanced diagnostic techniques to identify suspicious lesions and recommend appropriate follow-up care. These preventive screenings are crucial for reducing skin cancer mortality rates and improving treatment outcomes.

Mohs Surgery

Mohs surgery offers precise removal of skin cancer with immediate microscopic examination of tissue margins. Our fellowship-trained surgeons achieve high cure rates while preserving maximum healthy tissue, particularly effective for complex facial cancers. This specialized technique requires unique expertise available through our experienced surgical team.

Botox Injections

FDA-approved Botox treatments temporarily reduce facial wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscle groups. Our certified providers customize injection plans to address individual aesthetic concerns while maintaining natural facial expressions. The non-surgical procedure requires minimal downtime and delivers visible results within days.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels improve skin texture and tone through controlled exfoliation of damaged surface layers. We offer varying peel strengths to address specific concerns like sun damage, acne scars, and fine lines. Treatments promote collagen production and enhance skin rejuvenation with tailored recovery periods.

Dermatopathology

Our specialized dermatopathology services provide microscopic analysis of skin biopsies for accurate disease diagnosis. Board-certified dermatopathologists examine tissue samples using advanced techniques to identify complex skin conditions. This subspecialty expertise ensures precise diagnoses for effective treatment planning.

I've been going here for many years and have nothing but great experiences. They are always very thorough and kind. I see Dr Wong and Dr Ross, couldn't recommend them more. Everyone there is great.

Dr. Ross was great very informative and professional and really nice! My only issue is the staff's timing with patients. I do light therapy and you have to arrive really early cause they tend to run behind. I have also been forgotten about twice in the lobby. They checked me in then 30 minutes would pass by and I still.wouldnt get called for the treatment which takes only 5 minutes and cleanliness could be a little better but other than that it was.okay.

I had a completely different experience. I met with Dr. Sheila Krishna for less than 30 seconds when it was determined that they could not provide service due to my insurance coverage (GOLD HMO). When I inquired as to why they even booked the appointment - knowing they did not have the correct insurance "codes"- the doctor became highly agitated and combative. I was the one sitting there in my underwear.

I had taken time off of work and wanted some explanation. A couple of weeks later, without any further follow-up, I was sent a "termination of care" letter from Dermatologist Medical Group of North County. Wow not good!

Every time I go I can count on getting the best help I need either in Encinitas or Oceanside. I have been to a few derms but I like to see Mellisa she is so knowledgeable and actually listens to me. If she's not available I also see Mitzy she's soo nice too and doesn't make assumptions since I am young and with my multiple sclerosis background. I am well taken care of here! Thank you so much!
