Mohs surgery has come to be accepted as the single most effective technique for removing Basal Cell Carcinomas and Squamous Cell Carcinomas (BCCs and SCCs), the two most common skin cancers.
It accomplishes the nifty trick of sparing the greatest amount of healthy tissue while also most completely expunging cancer cells; cure rates for BCC and SCC are an unparalleled 98 percent or higher with Mohs, significantly better than the rates for standard excision or any other accepted method.

The skin is the largest and most visible organ of the body. It reflects the health of the body, and acts as a barrier against injury and bacteria. At one time or another, nearly everyone has some type of skin concern - infants, children, teenagers, adults and the elderly. We offer a wide variety of treatments to meet the needs of all ages.

This is one of the few offices in my network. I called for an emergency appointment and was told that the next available appointment was in 6 months for a new patient. Then I was told if I previously visited the office I could get an appointment in a much more reasonable time frame. I asked what should I do and was told to go to Urgent Care. Urgent Care instructed me to call for the appointment with the dermatologist. I am sure the Doctor may be great but these practices seems unethical. You are listed as a Aetna provider in their portal accepting new patients. Terrible.

All staff at Coastal Dermatology were kind and professional. The wait time was minimal and their operations are efficient. Dr. Anita Osmundson was knowledgeable, friendly, and patiently answered all of my questions. I have felt rushed at other dermatologists in the past, but not here! Overall, great experience.

Front desk team was friendly and professional. Dr. Osmundson was excellent, the best of many dermatologists that I have visited. She was very precise in her inspection of my condition and carefully explained her choice of medicines and their application. She offered other suggestions for treatment of my condition. I was very impressed.

I'm not sure if the staff changed but the one that "greeted" me was not friendly. She was rude. I guess because I didn't call from the parking lot to announce I was there (my fault) It was pouring raining and I had no umbrella so I stood in the outer lobby and asked if I could come in instead of running all the way back to my car. I was given nasty looks and curt responses. The doctor herself is very thorough and easy to talk to. She takes her time and does a full exam. When my exam was done the rude one kept saying to the other one "I just can't" " I just can't" which made the other girl who was

I am very happy I chose to see Dr. Anita. On my initial visit she gave me a full body scan, I pointed out two spots on my body that didn’t seem right to me,. She agreed with me that one of the moles didn’t look right to her, she removed it and in the end it wound up being a malignant melanoma which I am currently being treated for. She recommended a surgeon, and I am completely satisfied with the treatment I got from him. In two days I’m going to go see her again to complete the removal of cancerous lesions. Like someone else mentioned earlier in these reviews, I too tried scheduling in April

I was very pleased with my visit. The office is clean and the staff was nice. I was most impressed that I was seen in a timely manner; from the time I got there to the time I left, it may have been 30 min, with maybe 5 min of waiting. The doctor was cordial, and most importantly, she listened to me. My only issue is that it was a month before I could be seen, but that's understandable with doctors that are in high demand, and I'm willing to wait for a good doctor.

What a great experience from the minute you walk in. It is evident that Dr. Anita takes pride and pays attention to her practice. Friendly welcome and offices that present a very professional, clean and refreshed look and feel - very nice. Hardly any wait, and the visit was very pleasant, informing and caring. Thank you. Highly recommended.
