General Dermatology
We specialize in the evaluation and treatment of disorders of the skin, hair and nails. This includes a wide-range of diseases including skin cancers, moles, dermatitis, eczema, acne, hair loss & psoriasis.
Mohs Surgery
We proudly offer in-house Mohs Surgery. Mohs is a highly-effective treatment for skin cancer which offers the unique benefit of removing as little tissue as possible while allowing the surgeon to see where the cancer stops.
Dermatologic Surgery
Our board-certified Dermatologists are specially trained to restore the health and beauty of your skin. The majority of dermatologic surgeries are minimally invasive and require only local anesthesia.
Cosmetic Procedures
We offer many cosmetic procedures including Botox, fillers, peels, and hair removal. It is important to remember that cosmetic procedures are still medical procedures, and our board-certified providers will ensure safe and effective treatment.
Dermatopathology
We proudly offer in-house Dermatopathology to provide a comprehensive patient-care experience. Any biopsies performed by our dermatologists can be examined by Dr. Brett Summey, our board-certified Dermatopathologist, to determine the pathology of the specimen.
Photodynamic Therapy
Blue Light (Photodynamic) therapy involves the use of specific light or laser sources to treat a variety of common skin conditions including acne, wrinkles, premalignant skin lesions and some superficial skin cancers.
Narrow-Band UVB
We offer Narrowband UVB treatment for patients with psoriasis. Narrowband UVB may also be used in the treatment of many other skin conditions including atopic eczema, vitiligo, and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
Laser Procedures
We offer both vascular laser (V-Beam) to remove unwanted vessels as well as GentleLASE hair removal.
