General Dermatology
Your skin serves as a barrier to protect your body. It is vulnerable to the effects of aging and the environment and may reflect a variety of conditions and illnesses. To treat and manage these conditions, your skin requires expert care. Dermatology is the medical and surgical specialty dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the skin, mouth, hair, and nails.

In addition to treating all common disorders of the skin, hair, and nails, we also receive challenging referrals, thanks to the reputation of our highly respected doctor.

We treat patients of all ages with common disorders such as acne, rosacea, warts, superficial wounds, skin infections and skin ulcers, psoriasis, eczema, allergic and contact dermatitis, skin cancers, and a host of other skin conditions.

Skin Cancer Detection & Surgery
The incidence of skin cancer is dramatically on the rise. The incidence of malignant melanoma, the most serious kind of cancer, has increased from 1 in 2,500 people in 1930 to 1 in 65 people today. There are about 1 million cases of basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma per year. In fact, about one third of our patients undergo treatment for skin cancer or pre-skin cancer. Detected and treated early, these cancers are usually curable. There are a number of procedures used in the treatment of skin cancer, depending on the individual case. We are skilled at the removal of the affected tissue as well as repair of the surrounding area. We regularly evaluate abnormal moles and skin lesions that could be skin cancer.

We recommend that everyone have a total body skin exam once each year and encourage patients to consult us for an evaluation whenever they detect an unusual mole or lesion.

We offer many other services at Pinnacle Dermatology, as well as at our medi spa, Peau Claire.
