our services

Medical Dermatology

We offer comprehensive skin care, focusing on a holistic and preventative approach, which incorporates each individual's unique circumstances. We use the newest advances in diagnostic and treatment modalities, such as thorough skin examination by dermoscopy (epiluminescence microscopy) and treatments such as photodynamic therapy. The cornerstone of our practice is the highest level of medical care.

Surgical Dermatology

At Advanced Dermatology & Skin Surgery this component of Dermatology is our specialty, and we can offer a wide range of options for both benign and malignant conditions, including expert Mohs Micrographic Surgery and advanced facial defect reconstruction. Here too, we offer a holistic approach, and carefully weigh each option to tailor treatment to each unique patient.

Cosmetic Dermatology

Patients are often faced with a plethora of choices when considering cosmetic dermatologic enhancement. At Advanced Dermatology we take a step back and create a dialogue before offering an option. We believe that "less is more" and tailor each plan to achieve a natural looking and happy end result. Options such as Botox, fillers, and laser are offered when a satisfying decision is reached together.
