Surgical Dermatology

Surgical procedures are performed in our office using local anesthetic. Patients are encouraged to eat a regular meal before their procedure. We do not ask patients to stop taking any blood thinning medications such as Coumadin or aspirin.

Skin Cancer Excision

Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma represent the most common forms of skin cancer. Most can be appropriately treated in our office by excising them completely. Occasionally, a patient is referred to another physician for treatment, particularly in the following cases: large, ill-defined tumors, especially those in cosmetically sensitive areas (eyelids, ears, lips, nose); and melanomas with invasive growth.
