Skin Cancer Screening
Melanoma (malignant cancer in a mole) is among the most rapidly increasing cancers in the United States. It may occur anywhere on the body. Early detection and removal offers the best chance of cure. Early detection is also important with other, less deadly skin cancers.

As part of your initial visit to the Dermatology Center, we will offer you a full skin examination. We strongly recommend this screening, which takes only a few minutes. It is an integral part of good preventive medical care.
