Unfortunately, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the U.S. The primary cause is exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, whether outdoors or in tanning booths. Early detection of skin cancer is the key to effective treatment – 99% of skin cancers are treatable when caught in the beginning. Our team is great at detecting skin cancer before it becomes a bigger problem and treating effectively.

There are a number of common, non-cancerous skin growths that can appear on your skin, including moles, cysts, skin tags and more. These are harmless most of the time, but if you notice growths that are changing, itching or bleeding, it’s important to have them evaluated. Growths can usually be removed if they become painful or you simply don’t like the way they look.

How can I make or reschedule an appointment?

How can I prepare for my dermatology appointment?
If coming for your first visit, please bring your insurance card, if applicable, and a legal guardian if you are under the age of 18. Please come prepared to provide your health history on your new patient paperwork as well.
What should I expect during my initial consultation?
Your first visit begins with a consultation with your board-certified dermatologist. Prior to care, we will get your health history and perform a clinical evaluation of the skin to determine which treatment options are the best fit. We will customize both a treatment plan and a skin care regimen if desired. Important pre- and post-treatment instructions will also be provided to accompany most treatments.
What insurance plans do you accept?
We accept a variety of major insurances for your skin care. We have examples of insurances we accept on our website. If you don’t see your insurance listed, please contact us and we will verify if we accept.
What is the difference between a deductible, copay, and coinsurance?
All three are medical charges you must pay out of your own pocket, even if you have insurance. Deductibles are a specific amount you must accumulate and pay each year of covered health services before benefits are provided by your carrier. Plans may also have separate individual and family deductibles and/or deductibles for separate services. Copayments are a set fee the member pays to providers at the time services are provided. Copays are applied to office visits, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, etc. Coinsurance is a form of cost sharing. After your deductible has been met, plan will begin paying a percentage of your bills. The remaining amount, known as co-insurance, is the portion due by the patient.
