Acne is a common – and treatable – skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged, resulting in whiteheads, blackheads, cysts or red bumps. We treat them all – fast!
Actinic Keratosis
A rough, scaly patch, bump or reddish spot on areas of the skin often exposed to the sun. If untreated, it can develop into a skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma.
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer. When detected early, most basal cell carcinomas can be treated and cured and are not considered life-threatening.
Dandruff
Dandruff is typically a result of too much oil on your scalp and an overgrowth of yeast called Malassezia. Persistent cases can require prescription shampoo or medication.
Skin Cancer Treatment
Skin cancer is the uncontrolled overgrowth of abnormal skin cells. When caught early, it can be very treatable.
Hair Loss & Alopecia
Alopecia causes a partial or complete loss of hair. We use dermatologist-developed treatments, improving likelihood of hair regrowth, even if past treatments did not work.
Psoriasis
Severe psoriasis demands treatment at the source – an immune system that triggers over-production of skin cells and inflammation. Our advanced science + care provides relief.
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
Eczema causes dry, scaly skin and blisters that result in itching and pain. We use the latest medical advances to bring patients relief.
Skin Cancer Screenings
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S. Regular screenings with your dermatologist find cancer earlier, minimizing risk of spread. Schedule your annual exam now!
Within medical dermatology, my expertise lies in conducting thorough skin checks, diagnosing and treating skin cancer, managing acne, eczema, psoriasis and various other skin conditions while providing compassionate, thorough and expert care to all my patients.
