Thorough Skin Cancer Screenings
Regular skin cancer screenings are essential for early detection when treatment is most effective. Our screening process includes:
- Full-body skin examinations to check for suspicious moles, lesions, or skin changes
- Advanced dermoscopy using specialized equipment to evaluate concerning areas
- Digital documentation of skin lesions to monitor changes over time
- Patient education on self-examination techniques and sun protection strategies
- Risk assessment based on personal and family history, sun exposure, and skin type
Mr. Rodriguez’s extensive training allows him to identify subtle signs of skin cancer that might otherwise go unnoticed until more advanced stages.
