Services

OnSite Dermatology specializes in medical dermatology. We are specialists in the prevention and detection of pre-cancerous and cancerous growths, as well as other dermatological conditions. We are able to diagnose, treat, and prescribe. We provide preventative skin checks and are able to perform biopsies and treat most skin cancers OnSite.

Our goal is to improve the quality of care to seniors. Having OnSite Dermatology services on a regular basis will provide your community with a value added service at no additional cost, therefore eliminating the need for transportation arrangements and lengthy wait times in doctors’ offices. Additionally this benefits patients, allowing for more one-on-one attention.

Education and communication are an important aspect of our service. OnSite Dermatology offers educational presentations for residents, provides monthly flyers about upcoming visits, and can provide educational articles that can be incorporated into your monthly newsletters. We also participate in health fairs, family night events, and can provide in-service training/programs for the facility staff.

In addition to seeing residents for healthy skin checks, we have the ability to address any rashes, growths or skin concerns they may have. We also diagnose and treat pre-cancers, perform biopsies on site and treat certain positive skin cancers OnSite as well.
