- FungusWhy shouldn’t I ask about my other skin concerns (e.g. rash, warts, hair loss, nail fungus, acne, etc) during my screening examination? Our priority during a screening examination is to focus on looking for signs of skin cancer and educating our patients about the same. The attention of your dermatologist is diverted away from the top priority if you bring up unrelated skin concerns. This may lead to missed or misunderstood diagnoses. Please schedule a separate appointment to discuss concerns unrelated to your screening examination.
- LesionsIf you haven’t had your body examined from head-to-toe for any suspicious moles, lesions or spots before, now is the right time to do so. Here’s everything you need to know about skin cancer screenings, how to give yourself a skin check and a few other tips on how to keep the largest organ in your body—your skin—safe.
- Chemical PeelsLight alpha hydroxy acid (glycolic) peels improve bothersome problems such as rough texture, brown discoloration, and signs of aging.

Best results are achieved with a series of closely spaced peels.

- PsoriasisOur clinicians are very experienced in managing pediatric dermatology patients. The schedulers will be sure to help you determine the best clinician for your child, depending on the patient’s age and concern(s). We recognize that kids are not just little adults, they are prone to many conditions and issues that are unique to younger patients. Pediatric patients overall are a large part of our practice and frequently have skin problems ranging from the common (warts, molluscum, keratosis pilaris, acne, eczema and psoriasis to name a few) to the less common (too numerous to list!) conditions. Be assured that if we can’t help, we will facilitate referral to a tertiary center; we have a vast network of excellent physicians we can utilize for those few patients whose treatment needs fall beyond the scope of our practice.
