Full Skin Examination

What should I expect for my first visit?

Every patient is offered a comprehensive full skin examination followed by a detailed assessment of the condition and health of their skin. Whether it is for evaluation of a rash, moles, new growth or baseline examination, it is important to take the time to treat yourself to a thorough evaluation. We may be looking at a specific concern, but we also would to properly look for skin cancers, precancerous growths and examine all your moles. Especially in patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, it is important that this is done every 6-12 months by a provider who knows your skin. Of course, not everyone wants a full exam, so we are happy to examine only the areas that are of concern to you.

Many skin conditions have excellent treatments available to ease your discomfort. Many times, just trying one option isn’t good enough and different combinations are necessary to find the right solution for your skin. In our office, you will not only hear about all your medical, surgical and alternative options, but we will work diligently with you until we find something that works. We believe that once you are in our care, you should never feel like you are facing your concerns on your own.
