The office also performs Mohs micrographic surgery, one of the most effective techniques for treating skin cancer. On the cosmetic front, patients can access Botox, Daxxify, dermal fillers, microneedling, chemical peels, CoolSculpting, and PRP hair restoration to address signs of aging and thinning hair. The practice describes its mission as providing "excellent and personalized care to all of our patients," reflected in its patient-centered approach and flexible scheduling, including Friday appointments.
