Choosing a Dermatologist for Skin Cancer Surgery

You’ve known for some time that you’ve had skin cancer. That spot on your arm won’t go away. It keeps changing and scabbing over, but it never heals. You’ve tried every kind of ointment there is. You’ve covered it up. You thought about ignoring it in hopes that it would go away. There’s one problem. It’s growing. You know that you need to take care of it. It’s time to choose a dermatologist for skin cancer surgery. You need someone to help you find the right solution so that you can have peace of mind about the skin cancer that has been hanging on for too long. Look no further than the dermatologists at Metro Dermatology.

Offering You Options Regarding Treatment

You should not be getting a one-size-fits-all type of treatment for your skin cancer removal. When you choose Metro Dermatology, you will have access to dermatologists who offer you options. You may require surgical excision, the most common form of skin cancer surgery. Otherwise, Mohs surgery may be the answer for you. This is a highly precise type of surgery which targets only the cancerous tissue without sacrificing surrounding tissue that is healthy. A layer of the tumor or growth is removed and immediately checked for the presence of cancerous cells. This process is repeated until no dangerous cells are detected. Our dermatologist may recommend Mohs surgery if you have a cancerous spot that is in a sensitive area. If there is a high risk that your skin cancer will come back or it has done so in the past, Mohs surgery is likely to be recommended.

Dermatologists Who Put You at Ease

Our dermatologists at Metro Dermatology have excellent reviews and testimonials. State-of-the-art equipment and the latest advances in the field are offered to you when you come to our office for treatment. Our facility and staff are very welcoming. However, the most important thing is how our dermatologists make you feel. Our doctors are both compassionate and patient. They are always willing to answer your questions and offer you solutions.

If you are ready to weigh your options regarding skin cancer surgery, get in touch with Metro Dermatology in order to schedule an evaluation at one of our offices in Elmhurst, Flushing, Englewood or the Bronx. Contact us today to book your appointment and get started on the journey to being healthy and cancer-free.
