Acne is a common – and treatable – skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged, resulting in whiteheads, blackheads, cysts or red bumps. We treat them all – fast!
Actinic Keratosis
A rough, scaly patch, bump or reddish spot on areas of the skin often exposed to the sun. If untreated, it can develop into a skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma.
Excisions & Biopsies
Excisions are small surgeries to remove lesions from the body. They are done to remove a problematic lesion – like skin cancer – or to get a biopsy for laboratory diagnosis.
Skin Cancer Screenings
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S. Regular screenings with your dermatologist find cancer earlier, minimizing risk of spread. Schedule your annual exam now!
Treatment of Rashes
Rashes affect nearly all of us at some point and may cause irritation or swelling. We treat rashes of every type, including those that are a sign of a more serious illness.
Wart Treatment
Common warts, flat warts and plantar warts are caused by strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) and appear on hands, face, feet or genitals. Schedule now to get treatment.
I first found my passion for dermatology after struggling with acne as a teenager and experiencing firsthand the difference proper treatment can make in one's self-confidence. I hope to help my patients feel comfortable and confident in their skin through skin cancer screening exams and the treatment of an array of skin conditions.
