Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. It affects one in five people by age 70, and if you spend a lot of time in the sun or tanning, you have a higher risk.
Finding the spot before it’s too big is key – 99% of skin cancers are curable if caught right away. You may not notice skin cancer until it’s large or bleeding, but we may see it much earlier. That is why regular screenings are so important. We recommend you have a skin cancer screening at least once a year to allow for early detection. Our team is great at finding early-stage skin cancer and treating before it becomes a bigger issue.
Cosmetic dermatology services can help the appearance of skin issues caused by medical conditions, sun damage and aging, including acne scars, hyperpigmentation, surgical and injury scars, wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin.

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.
