Skin Cancer Screening
Our full-body skin cancer screenings use advanced diagnostic tools to identify suspicious lesions. With SPOTcheck program access, patients receive urgent evaluations within 24 hours. Our three board-certified Mohs surgeons perform over 100,000 skin cancer treatments annually, combining clinical expertise with rapid diagnostic capabilities for early intervention.
Mohs Surgery
This precise skin cancer removal technique preserves healthy tissue while achieving 98-99% cure rates. Our fellowship-trained surgeons perform same-day procedures with immediate lab analysis, ensuring complete cancer removal in a single visit while maintaining cosmetic outcomes.
Body Contouring
Non-invasive treatments like CoolSculpting and EmSculpt NEO target stubborn fat and build muscle tone. These FDA-approved procedures reshape bodies without surgery, requiring no downtime while delivering visible results in 2-3 months through natural fat elimination processes.
Aesthetic Treatments
Medical-grade facials, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing address aging signs and skin imperfections. Our aesthetic nurses use Diamond Glow and Exion technologies to improve texture, reduce scarring, and enhance skin luminosity through controlled exfoliation and collagen stimulation.
Clinical Research
Patients access investigational treatments through our research center, contributing to dermatological advancements. Qualified participants receive free study-related care and compensation while helping develop future therapies for conditions like psoriasis and skin cancer.

recommend both Dr McKeen and APEX to anyone with
skin problems.
