Our board-certified dermatologists perform comprehensive skin exams to detect early signs of skin cancer. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify suspicious moles and lesions across all skin types. Patients receive thorough evaluations with immediate follow-up recommendations for biopsy or treatment when necessary.

This precise surgical technique removes cancerous tissue while preserving healthy skin. Our fellowship-trained surgeons achieve 99% cure rates for basal and squamous cell carcinomas. The procedure includes same-day excision and microscopic analysis for complete tumor removal.

We address mild to severe acne through personalized treatment plans combining topical medications, oral therapies, and advanced procedures. Our specialists target hormonal, bacterial, and inflammatory causes to achieve long-term skin clarity for adolescents and adults.

I really think the customer service of this place needs to be improved. Last appointment, I was abroad during the lead-up to the appointment and despite have previously confirmed the appointment, on arrival at their location my appointment had been cancelled. Apparently they hadn't check messages. This time, I confirmed by email. Then today I get a text message demanding that I download their app to re-confirm the appointment - ahh-no. I have enough apps on my phone and do not need another one. So I attempt to reconfirm using the previous link - that doesn't work. I then click the link on the

I was in a lot of pain and was putting things off because I was scared it was going to be painful and uncomfortable lol. Dr. Bandow was great and helped put my mind at ease. Maybe I watch too much Dr Pimple Popper. They helped when my prescriptions werent covered and didnt make me feel like I was an inconvenience like previous offices have. Thanks! Hopefully I dont have to go often, but I wont be worried if I do anymore.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Grace Bandow last weekend to discuss treatment options for acne scarring. Acne scarring is something that has negatively affected my self esteem for years. While I have not had a treatment yet, I am returning to the office later this month and feel hope for the first time that my skin will look and feel better. With Dr.Bando I was not only met with clear knowledge and expertise, her compassion and empathy for my struggles with my skin truly showed through.
