Skin Cancers and Full Skin Exams

We focus on the prevention and treatment of skin cancers. The hallmark of our practice is a complete head-to-toe full skin exam. We specialize in dermatoscopic examination of the skin to detect and remove precancerous lesions as well as cancers such as Basal Cell, Squamous Cell, and Melanoma. 

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, but it is also one of the most preventable and treatable if caught early. Our dermatologist and PA offer comprehensive skin cancer screenings to help detect and treat skin cancer in its earliest stages. We start on the scalp and work our way down to your toes. We may treat with a cream or combine treatments such as ALA-PDT or Medical Chemical Peels to try and clear the cancers medically. However, the team includes you too...meaning, you must return in a timely manner so we can see the response to therapy. No treatment is 100% so sometimes biopsies may be needed if the medical management is not effective. Please be advised that everyone is different so no one treatment works for everyone. We can only guarantee we will try our best.

Even if we don't take your insurance, rest assured, we are reasonably priced. We will provide everything you need to submit to your own insurance. A Full Skin Exam costs between $250 and $440, depending on the complexity, and a biopsy costs about $250 to $350 depending on the type. We are dermatoscopically trained and have attended the Sloan-Kettering Dermoscopy course, which means we are here to help prevent and detect skin cancer. We will certainly try our best!
