Surgical Dermatology
Not all dermatological conditions can be treated with topical treatments or medication. Sometimes surgery is necessary.
We are equipped to provide medically necessary dermatological surgery when our patients’ conditions require it. Our experience and expertise mean we can provide you with the surgical treatment option you need to return your skin to its optimal health.
Most dermatologic surgery is done on an outpatient basis and requires only local anesthesia, which reduces recovery time and gets you back to your normal life as quickly as possible.
