Skin Cancer Detection in Orange County
It's important to conduct regular self-screenings for new or concerning moles and rashes and to report to your medical dermatologist whenever something doesn't seem or feel right. However, regular checkups by a skin cancer doctor can also help you ensure you're not missing anything.
If something concerning or new does appear, it's important to remain calm and remember that many moles and skin lesions do not necessarily mean you have skin cancer. That's why we provide a thorough skin cancer detection process, which not only features an examination, but also a report of your health history and demographics.
As part of our diagnosis techniques, we perform biopsies, dermoscopy and mole mapping, and prescribe to the ABCDE guide to skin cancer detection.

Our skin cancer specialists in Orange County have the expertise and tools to detect and diagnose your specific affliction.

While Mohs Surgery is quite effective for many types of cancer and patients, sometimes it's not the best option, which is why we offer other methods of removal of skin cancer and precancerous treatment, including:
