Are there regional differences in the U.S. in terms of level of awareness about the damaging effects of sun exposure as it relates to the developments of skin cancers?. Is excessive exposure to the sun responsible for this alarming increase in the incidence of malignant melanoma?. How do you balance the need for sun protection against the new findings of widespread deficiency of vitamin D in U.S. and consequent health risks?.
Since we do not have control over our genes, what percentage of aging-related changes is related to external factors? What has the most harmful effect on the skin?. In recent years, we have seen many reports published regarding the essential role that vitamin D plays in overall health. Do sunscreens prevent vitamin D formation in the skin?.

Don't waste your time. The "doctor" treated me on 3 separate occasions for common hand warts with liquid nitrogen. I was expecting the charges for all 3 visits to be the same, but since the "doctor" froze 2 additional spots (16 instead of 14) the charges for the last visit were close to double what I had paid on the previous visits. The worst part is, $800 later and EVERY wart is still there!

I visited the dermatology office a few days ago. Starting with the young lady at the front desk to the doctor & her assistant it was a great experience. She took the time to speak with me and inspect my skin condition. She was friendly & professional! I will return for a follow up in a few months & look forward to doing business here.

This is also a medical office so sometimes I have had to wait for my appointment but the staff keeps me updated. In terms of location, it is convenient and when the parking garage gets full I just park across the street at Saks. My first visit was a while
