Services
Skin Cancer Screenings
Our full-body skin exams detect early signs of skin cancer through systematic evaluation of moles and skin growths. Board-certified dermatologists use advanced diagnostic techniques to identify suspicious lesions. Regular screenings recommended for patients with family history or high sun exposure.
Acne Treatment
Customized treatment plans address mild to severe acne through topical medications, oral therapies, and advanced procedures. We identify underlying causes like hormonal imbalances or dietary factors. Follow-up care ensures long-term skin clarity and prevents scarring.
Mole Removal
We evaluate and remove suspicious moles using precise surgical techniques. Biopsies determine malignancy while cosmetic approaches minimize scarring. Regular monitoring recommended for patients with numerous or atypical moles.
Psoriasis Management
Comprehensive treatment plans combine topical therapies, light treatments, and biologics to manage psoriasis symptoms. We educate patients on trigger avoidance and provide ongoing monitoring to control flare-ups effectively.
Cosmetic Dermatology
Anti-aging treatments include Botox, fillers, and laser therapies to address wrinkles and skin texture. Personalized skincare regimens enhance natural beauty while maintaining skin health. Non-invasive procedures deliver visible results with minimal downtime.

AVOID AT ALL COST. Pleasant enough office but no ability to recognize or deal with a serious condition.

I recently saw Dr. Griffin as a new patient, she was so kind and answered all my questions. Her new staff is extremely helpful and friendly, they made me feel comfortable right away. I absolutely recommend her if anyone is looking for a dermatologist! Shes honest and extremely educated. Her availability is a bit of a wait but definitely worth it! :)

I am a devoted patient of Dr. Griffin's. I was referred to her by a co-worker, and I have referred others to her myself. She is the utmost in professionalism and I trust her completely. She is no-nonsense and puts her patients' health above all else. Very gentle touch and will answer any question. Love Shannon at the front desk for her caring and kindness.
