Medical & Surgical Services

Since our practice is a General Dermatology office, we take care of Medical and Surgical Dermatology concerns.

Our main focus is the detection and treatment of skin cancers (abnormal “moles,” pre-cancer lesions, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma). We perform comprehensive skin examinations for the detection and treatment of pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions. We perform biopsies of any suspicious or changing lesions. Our practice treats skin cancers with either Electrodesiccation and Curettage (ED&C) or surgical excision in our office under local anesthesia.

We also surgically treat warts, molluscum, cysts, pyogenic granulomas, and other benign lesions. We commonly remove irritated or bothersome “moles” or lesions such as skin tags and seborrheic keratoses. We also treat keloids (thick scars) and certain types of hair loss (alopecia areata) with intralesional injections.

Our practice also takes care of numerous other common conditions including acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, allergic skin reactions, skin infections (viral, bacterial or fungal), melasma, and rashes.
