Skin Cancer

Dr. Rankin treats many patients that are diagnosed with skin cancer. The surgical plan always involves removing all cancer cells while leaving the best possible cosmetic result with minimal scarring.

Common skin cancers treated include Squamous Cell Carcinomas, Basal Cell Carcinomas and Malignant Melanomas.

Surgery is usually performed in the office Operating Room or in one of our minor procedure rooms. Procedures are usually performed using only local anesthesia or a light sedation based on patient preference.

Removal of benign skin problems are also handled in a similar manner.
