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.

Types of Skin Cancer We Treat

We provide expert diagnosis and treatment for all types of skin cancer, including:

  • Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) – The most common form of skin cancer, typically appearing as a pearly bump or flat, flesh-colored lesion
  • Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) – The second most common skin cancer, often presenting as a firm red nodule or flat lesion with a scaly surface
  • Melanoma – The most dangerous form of skin cancer that can spread to other body parts if not treated early
  • Actinic Keratosis – Precancerous growths that can develop into squamous cell carcinoma if left untreated

Comprehensive Treatment Options

Following diagnosis, we offer various treatment approaches tailored to your specific condition:

  • Surgical excision with precision removal of cancerous tissue while preserving healthy skin
  • Electrodesiccation and curettage for certain superficial skin cancers
