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!
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.
Excisions & Biopsies
Excisions are small surgeries to remove lesions from the body. They are done to remove a problematic lesion – like skin cancer – or to get a biopsy for laboratory diagnosis.

Treatment of Rashes
Rashes affect nearly all of us at some point and may cause irritation or swelling. We treat rashes of every type, including those that are a sign of a more serious illness.
My philosophy of care is to have the relationship with my patients I would want if I were the patient. This includes open dialog during visits, clear explanations of treatments and expectations, patients being included in the decision-making process for their care, and clear communication of pathology results; you will receive a direct phone call from me about all pathology results, regardless of whether it is benign or cancerous.
