Surgical Services
If you’re considering surgical excisions, our dermatologists can recommend a surgical dermatology treatment to help. These treatments can lower the risk and spread of skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma.
AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO SKIN CONDITIONS
At Pacific Dermatology Specialists, your skin health is our top priority. From routine skin cancer screenings to minimally invasive dermatologic surgeries, we’re here to offer expert care with compassion and precision across our Southern California locations.
The Importance of Skin Cancer Screenings
While most skin cancers are highly treatable when caught early, early detection is absolutely key. If left untreated, skin cancer can progress and become as dangerous as other internal cancers. That’s why we recommend regular full-body skin exams for everyone, especially those who:
-
Spend significant time outdoors
-
Have a history of sunburns or sun damage
-
Notice new or changing moles or skin spots
-
Have a personal or family history of skin cancer
Our board-certified dermatologists use state-of-the-art tools to detect skin cancer at the earliest, most treatable stage. If something concerning is found, we’ll walk you through every step of the treatment plan.

Whether you’re dealing with a suspicious mole, a cyst, or a benign growth that’s bothering you cosmetically, surgical dermatology can offer effective and lasting solutions.
