Medical Dermatology
Our board-certified dermatologists diagnose and treat all skin conditions from acne and eczema to complex cases like psoriasis and skin cancer. Using advanced technology and personalized treatment plans, we address both common and rare dermatologic concerns. With decades of combined experience, our physicians prioritize prevention, early detection, and long-term skin health solutions.
Mohs Surgery
This precise outpatient procedure removes skin cancer layer by layer while preserving healthy tissue. Performed by fellowship-trained surgeons in our state-of-the-art surgical center, Mohs surgery offers 98%+ cure rates for certain skin cancers. The process includes real-time microscopic analysis and immediate wound reconstruction when needed.
Cosmetic Treatments
Our non-surgical options include Botox, dermal fillers, CoolSculpting, and laser treatments to enhance natural beauty. All procedures are performed by dermatology experts who understand skin biology. We combine medical science with artistry to deliver natural-looking results that boost confidence without over-treatment.
Clinical Research
As Alabama's leading dermatology research department, we conduct clinical trials for new medications and treatments. Patients gain access to cutting-edge therapies before market availability. Our research contributes to advancing dermatologic care while maintaining strict safety protocols and ethical standards.
Skin Cancer Screening
We offer comprehensive skin cancer screenings using advanced diagnostic tools and full-body examinations. Our physicians specialize in identifying suspicious lesions at earliest stages. Screenings include patient education about risk factors and sun protection strategies to prevent future skin damage.
