Skin Cancer Treatment
Skin cancer is the uncontrolled overgrowth of abnormal skin cells. When caught early, it can be very treatable.
Treatment of Moles
Moles are a common skin growth that can vary in color, shape and size. Some moles can develop into melanoma, so it is important to see a dermatologist if you see any changes.
As a skin cancer patient myself, I always strive to treat my patients the way I would like to be treated myself. Being diagnosed with skin cancer can be a stressful experience, and I aim always to provide compassionate and competent care.
