Our Mission
Statement
Always treat others as you would have them treat you.
The mission of Southeastern Skin Cancer & Dermatology will constantly be guided by these words. Our practice is created for and focused on those with skin concerns at any age, with specific expertise for individuals with cancers of the skin. For our family of patients, we continually strive to provide optimal care and establish relationships that will surpass those expected from the typical medical provider. Your care will always be offered in a current yet established, detailed, efficient and respectful manner, always including the human touch. In addition, tremendous importance is placed on integrity and rapport with other healthcare providers, medical business associates and the community which we service. Regardless of the condition, venue or nature of interaction, our efforts are not complete until you are completely satisfied.
What is
Mohs SURGERY?
Mohs’ micrographic surgery is a technique used to remove the cancer while sparing the most normal, unaffected tissue. It provides the greatest cure rates while also leading to the most cosmetically favorable results. The full periphery and base are checked immediately with a microscope by your dermatologist to see if tumor remains or is completely removed. This is especially important for areas where excess skin is limited, such as the face.

The latest tanning trend? Hard pass from us.
Melanotan, often called the “Barbie Drug,” is being promoted online as a shortcut to darker skin. What many people don’t realize is that these products are not FDA-approved and may come with some serious health risks.
Potential risks include the possibility of benign moles turning into dysplastic nevi (atypical moles) and even melanomas. It’s also been documented to cause muscle damage and systemic toxicity. Because these products are largely unregulated, there are still many unanswered questions about their long-term safety.
Still want that bronzed glow? Avoid injectable or intranasal tanning drugs. Sunless self-tanner is a great option!

🇺🇸☀️ If your Fourth of July plans involve pool floats, backyard BBQs, lake days, or soaking up the sunshine, don’t forget the sunscreen!
A broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is one of the easiest ways to help protect your skin from sun damage and reduce your risk of skin cancer. Remember to reapply every 2 hours (and after swimming or sweating).
