DID YOU KNOW that skin conditions are the most common reason why people visit their doctor? If you think about it, it shouldn’t come as a big surprise. It is, after all, the body’s largest organ, so why shouldn’t it qualify for needing the most care and attention? If it’s not common ailments such as dry skin, rashes, acne, or eczema, then it could be a potentially life-threatening disease, like skin cancer. But regardless of the case or the seemingly trivial nature of the skin care visit, it’s worth the trip to have your doctor take a look. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that patients of all ages have a thorough skin examination every year to detect potentially dangerous or life-threatening skin conditions.
At Central Florida Dermatology, our doctors are Mohs Fellowship-trained and Mohs board certified, and we offer the latest advancements in medical dermatology. Our staff, from physicians to nurses to office team, are dedicated to ensuring that our patients receive the highest level of quality care. In addition to medical dermatology, we also provide spa services, including Botox®, Juvederm, facials, and laser resurfacing — to name a few.
