The Importance of a Full-Body Skin Exam
A full-body skin exam during your first office visit is highly recommended. Our licensed and certified medical skin care professionals are expertly trained to examine the skin for any signs of skin cancer, and this exam is a critical tool in preventive health care. You will be asked to point out any areas that concern you, along with any personal history of skin cancer or malignant melanoma and any family history of melanoma. How often you return for check-ups will depend on your specific medical history.
Prevention, Early Detection, and Wellness
Our approach to medical dermatology focuses on preventing skin disease, detecting problems early, and improving your overall wellness. Many conditions, such as actinic keratosis, respond best when treated early, while chronic conditions like psoriasis and eczema are easiest to control with a consistent, personalized plan. Our team also treats rosacea, hives, hyperhidrosis, hair loss, keloids, and seborrheic keratosis. Browse all conditions we treat.
Tumescent local anesthesia, pioneered by Dr. Jeffrey Klein, allows us to comfortably remove lipomas and cysts and perform large excisions in the office without general anesthesia. Many medically necessary services are covered by insurance; see our insurance page for details, and visit our new patient page to prepare for your visit.
