Warts
Primary Care
First is our patient base and volume. We are uniquely situated in the center of the Florida panhandle and see high risk patients from this region, as well as the southern part of Georgia (we are 20 miles from the GA line) and from lower Alabama. There are groups of highly skilled dermatologists in these areas who send us only their highest risk patients. We also receive many referrals from plastic surgeons, general surgeons, primary care and satisfied patients in this region. These individuals often have multiple skin cancers and severe sun damage due to their occupation, age, immunosuppression status or all of the aforementioned. Anyone who visits our practice is impressed with the fact that the majority of our cases are squamous cell carcinoma with a reversal of the normal 3/1 basal cell carcinoma to squamous cell carcinoma ratio. Most Mohs surgeons will acknowledge that squamous cell carcinomas are more challenging due to their inherent risk and the fact that they most often occur on severely sun damaged skin where one sees and has to deal with the field effect and subtle nuances between squamous cell carcinoma and severe actinic keratoses. Learning how to deal with squamous cell carcinoma and the field effect is paramount in becoming a good Mohs surgeon.

Radiation Therapy
Each afternoon we see and examine high risk individuals from our practice and the surrounding areas. We have been involved from early on with multiple research projects including dermoscopy and seeing and following high risk pigmented lesion individuals. We continue research and innovation with photodynamic therapy in order to decrease the field effect of our severely sun damaged patients. We have also been a leader in the renaissance of superficial radiation therapy which I have been doing since my residency. We have published extensively on skin cancer detection and management and consider ourselves a skin cancer management team, comprised of our Assistant Fellowship Director, Harris Green, MD, as well as aforementioned plastic surgeon, dermatopathologist, and a team of PAs, histotechnicians, nurses and ancillary staff who are true professionals.

Mohs Surgery
Mohs Micrographic surgery is an advanced surgical technique used for the removal of skin cancers. Mohs surgery is named after Dr. Fredrick Mohs, the person who developed the technique in 1938. The procedure seeks to spare as much healthy tissue as possible while assuring the patient a very high cure rate. The physician functions as both the surgeon and the pathologist during the entirety of the procedure. During the surgery, thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. By performing both functions, the surgeon can evaluate whether they removed the whole tumor while the patient waits for the results in the office. The surgeon continues to remove layers until all the margins are clear of any cancer. More detail can be seen in the video below that explains the procedure in detail.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
Other cosmetic services we offer include Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments, Laser Hair Removal, Photodynamic Therapy, Surgical Treatments, V-Beam Treatments, Botox and more!
Plastic Surgery
The same is also true for plastic surgery. We have a high volume of Mohs cases daily and have a very experienced in house board certified plastic surgeon, Meredith McKinney, MD, who helps us with our more challenging cases. Learning plastic surgical techniques from a plastic surgeon seems to be anathema to many Mohs surgeons whose mantra is we can do it as well or better. When it comes down to it we always subscribe to patient choice and what would we do for a family member. We still do a very large number of closures including grafts and flaps but are selective in the interest of the patient and our efficiency as a Mohs unit. On a daily basis the fellow gets to plan and assist in executing multiple complex repairs.

Cosmetic Dermatology
Founded over 35 years ago, Dermatology Associates of Tallahassee (DAT) is a single specialty group that focuses on the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of diseases involving the skin, hair, and nails. Recognizing the shortage of dermatologists in our region, DAT is committed to delivering the highest standard of dermatologic care to underserved populations. With our large patient population, state-of-the-art facilities, and committed faculty, we provide a robust training environment in which residents will develop unrivaled expertise in the management of complex medical and surgical conditions, pediatric dermatology, cosmetic dermatology, phototherapy, superficial radiation therapy, laser therapy, and dermatopathology. DAT has two outstanding board-certified dermatopathologists on staff who will work closely with residents throughout their training, offering weekly didactic lectures and protected time for discussions at the microscope.
Skin Cancer
Our skin cancer management team, consisting of experienced, board-certified dermatologists, fellowship trained MOHs surgeons, and plastic surgeons available for repair of MOHs surgeries, work diligently to detect, treat, and prevent any and all forms of skin cancers. We utilize the latest treatment methods to ensure the best care for acne, rosacea, dermatitis, warts, eczema and many other skin diseases.
Dermatology
Dermatology Associates of Tallahassee is honored to be collaborating with the University of Central Florida College of Medicine and HCA Florida Capital Hospital in our collective mission to educate and train superb physicians who will practice patient-centered care, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge and discovery in our field. Our residents will be conscientious, sensitive, and responsive to the needs of our community, with an emphasis on delivering compassionate care to elderly, rural, minority, and underserved populations. UCF’s College of Medicine and HCA Healthcare’s graduate medical education consortium received initial accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in January 2022 and we have since welcomed our first class of dermatology residents for the July 2022 academic year.
Acne Treatment
Eczema
We utilize the latest treatment methods to ensure the best care for acne, rosacea, dermatitis, warts, eczema and many other skin diseases.
Lesions
The state of the art Candela V-Beam Perfecta vascular laser is the gold standard for the treatment of superficial vascular lesions of the skin. It can be used to treat prominent blood vessels on the face from rosacea or to treat background redness of the face, chest, and neck. It is also the most effective non-invasive treatment for vascular growths on the skin, such as cherry angiomas (bright red bumps that grow on the skin) and port wine stains, a type of vascular birth mark.
Chemical Peels
We also provide many cosmetic services, and aging skin with microdermabrasion offering specialized treatment for sun-damaged and aging skin with microdermabrasion and chemical peels. Call to schedule your consult with our Esthetician today at 850-877-1406 ! Learn More
