Conditions We Treat
Our dermatology services focus on general skin health, not cosmetic treatments. Common conditions we diagnose and treat include:
- Skin cancer and pre-cancerous lesions
- Routine skin exams and screenings
- Psoriasis
- Acne (adolescents and adults)
- Warts
- Other common dermatologic conditions affecting everyday skin health
Skin Cancer & Prevention
Sun exposure and family history are two of the leading risk factors for skin cancer. That’s why early detection and prevention are key.
- Routine Exams: Most patients benefit from a skin exam every 6-12 months.
- High-Risk Patients: If you have a personal or family history of skin cancer, you may be seen every 3-4 months for monitoring.
- Who Should Be Screened: While anyone can develop skin cancer, screenings are especially important for patients aged 40 and older who spend a lot of time outdoors.

During your visit, our dermatologist will:
- Review your skin history and concerns
- Perform a thorough skin exam tailored to your needs
- Provide education on prevention, monitoring, and treatment options
