Skin Cancer Awareness Month

Posted on May 11, 2020

We are pleased to let you know that our offices have reopened. With state restrictions lifted, we are able to responsibly reopen fully and resume seeing our patients for regularly scheduled skin checks and treatment… just in time for Skin Cancer Awareness Month!

Your safety remains our top priority. We continue to implement additional safety and sanitation measures in accordance with OSHA and CDC guidelines to protect you and our team:

• Elevated infection control standards include the thorough sterilization and disinfection of treatment rooms and instruments between each patient.
• Continued adherence to standard sterile medical protocols including hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves, masks, eyewear), respiratory hygiene / cough etiquette, sharps safety, safe injection practices (when applicable), sterile instruments and devices, and clean and disinfected environmental surfaces.
• Availability of hand sanitizers at reception areas and frequent cleaning of high-touch common areas.
• Preemptive screenings for all patients and staff. Patients will be asked to complete additional health history information.
• Continued social distancing practices. Our waiting rooms have been rearranged to allow for further social distancing.

We have missed seeing our patients in our offices and can’t wait to welcome everyone back!

Our Board-Certified Dermatologists and Physician Assistants have special training that includes the diagnosis and management of skin cancers. When you see us for a complete skin exam, expect a 10-15 minute visit, including a review of your medical history and a head-to-toe skin examination. This is a good time to ask about any spots you are worried about. We can educate you about what to look for, such as any changes in the size, color, borders, or shape of a mole. Any notable change in a mole should be checked out.
