Services
Mohs Micrographic Surgery
Mohs surgery provides precise skin cancer treatment with tissue-sparing techniques that maximize cure rates while minimizing scarring. Our fellowship-trained surgeons achieve 98-99% cure rates for common skin cancers through this specialized approach. Patients benefit from same-day treatment and reconstruction when needed, performed by dermatologists with extensive experience in this micrographic technique.
Botox Cosmetic
FDA-approved Botox injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead wrinkles. Our board-certified specialists customize treatment plans to create natural-looking rejuvenation that lasts 3-4 months. Patients receive expert care from dermatologists who understand facial anatomy and aging patterns.
Laser Hair Removal
Nd:YAG laser technology safely removes unwanted hair from all skin types with minimal discomfort. Our medical-grade treatments target hair follicles for long-term reduction, requiring 6-8 sessions for optimal results. Patients receive personalized care from experienced dermatology professionals using advanced laser systems.
Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation, and diminish fine lines through controlled exfoliation. Our dermatologists select appropriate peel strengths from mild to deep based on individual skin concerns. Treatments address sun damage, acne scars, and aging signs for refreshed, healthier-looking skin.
Skin Cancer Screening
Comprehensive skin exams detect early signs of melanoma and other skin cancers through systematic evaluation of moles and lesions. Our board-certified dermatologists use dermatoscopy and biopsy when necessary for accurate diagnosis. Patients receive education on self-examination and sun protection as part of preventive care.

Best in the city! I have been seeing Dr. Scully for years now, and I'm now finally writing this. I was "hoping" to keep them/her a secret. Professional staff; personable doctor(s) - best in the business. From front of the office to the back to the doctors, a team who works hard to keep their patients happy.

I was told I was in network when I made an appointment over the phone. When I arrived I was told I was not in network and I had to cancel as a result. Huge waste of time.

OMG I just researched this online and it was my first to made an appointment with the lady who answered the phone right exactly this time at 2:33pm 3/5/2021 she was so rude and no patient when I'm asking only if they can send me through email again the appointment coz I haven't received yet. so I can remembered and her voice was sound angry and so rude when I even say thanks to her before I will Hang up the phone and she hang up without even say anything and don't even say bye that's bad to your business having this kind of attitude. I'm feeling that we're not welcome at all. she's a bad customer service or telephone operator to your company. Her name was started at M. She ruined my day.

Dr Scully and her whole staff are fantastic. You always get a warm welcome when you enter the office. The decor is very posh which feels good. I always receive great care when seen by the doctor. They have been very accommodating in squeezing me for last minute appointments to help me deal with an unexpected skin issue that has been haunting me for the last two months. Scully will try to solve the problem with various solutions until she gets to the core of the issue. I am already seeing results of improvement. I highly recommend her for any dermatology needs you may have.
