Your Skin Health Is Worth Protecting
When it comes to evaluating moles, new spots, or skin changes, you deserve care from a team with true dermatology expertise. Our clinic is led by Board-Certified Dermatologist Dr. Syed Amiry, who oversees a highly trained team of Board-Certified Physician Assistants specializing in dermatology. Every patient benefits from medical direction grounded in years of advanced dermatologic training — not general aesthetics or primary care.
If you’ve noticed a new spot, a worrying change, or something that just doesn’t look right, you’re in the right place. You deserve answers — and a clear plan. We make sure you get the right evaluation quickly, and we guide you through every step if a biopsy or further treatment is needed.
We take your skin health seriously, because early detection saves lives.
What We Check For
A skin cancer check is a medical visit where your provider looks closely at spots, moles, and skin changes to determine whether something is benign or requires treatment. If anything looks concerning, we’ll explain what we see, why it caught our attention, and what your best next step is.
When You Should Schedule a Skin Cancer Check
You should book a visit if you have:
- A new or changing mole
- A spot that bleeds, crusts, or doesn’t heal
- A lesion that is painful or tender
- A mole that itches or looks different from others
- A spot that is growing or darkening
- A family history of skin cancer
- Many moles or freckles
- A history of sunburns or tanning bed use
- Scalp lesions you can’t see well on your own
- Any skin change that worries you

Insurance + Billing
Skin cancer evaluations, biopsies, and medically necessary procedures are typically covered by insurance. We will always let you know when insurance is expected to cover your visit — and when it won’t — before anything is done.
Don’t have insurance?
We can still see you. We offer self-pay office visits, and if a biopsy or pathology is needed, we work with a trusted lab that provides affordable self-pay pricing as well.
You will always receive clear information on costs up front, so you can make confident decisions about your care.
Before Your Appointment
- Remove nail polish (especially on fingers and toes) so your clinician can examine nail beds.
- Avoid makeup, self-tanner, and heavy lotions on the day of your appointment.
- Note any new, changing, or concerning spots and bring a list or photos to discuss.
- Know your family history of skin cancer or atypical moles if possible.
- Wear loose, easy-to-remove clothing to allow for a full skin examination.
After Treatment
- Avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF daily to protect the treated area.
- Use gentle skincare only—no retinol, exfoliants, or active ingredients until your clinician approves.
- Expect mild redness or sensitivity, and allow the skin to heal without picking or scrubbing.
- Avoid heat, workouts, and sweating for 24–48 hours to minimise irritation.
- Contact your clinician if you notice unusual swelling, pain, or signs of infection.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Top Questions, Clearly Answered.
How often should I get a skin cancer check?
Most adults benefit from a yearly exam. You may need more frequent checks if you have risk factors.
What happens if something is suspicious?
We’ll perform a small biopsy to get clarity quickly.
Does a biopsy hurt?
You’ll feel a quick numbing injection, then no pain. Most spots heal with just a bandage.
What if I need Mohs surgery?
We refer you to trusted local Mohs specialists and continue coordinating your care.
Is pathology required for every biopsy or removal?
Yes — that may fall under elective dermatology, and we’ll explain options clearly.
Can I still get a biopsy if I don’t have insurance?
Yes. You can still receive a biopsy as a self-pay patient. We’ll review costs with you beforehand so you can decide confidently.
Will I know the cost before any procedure?
If a procedure is elective or not covered by insurance, we provide clear pricing upfront so you can decide before moving forward. For insurance-based procedures, coverage and out-of-pocket costs depend on your individual plan. We will let you know when a procedure is likely to be billed to insurance, and we’re always here to help you understand what that may mean for your benefits. If you prefer, you may choose self-pay pricing instead of using insurance.
Is pathology required for every biopsy or removal?
If something appears suspicious, pathology ensures you get accurate answers. In some completely benign cases, we’ll discuss whether pathology is necessary or optional.
Do you offer low-cost options for pathology?
Yes. We partner with a pathology lab that offers affordable self-pay rates, so you won’t face unexpected bills later.
Can I pay out-of-pocket even if I have insurance?
Yes — some patients prefer simplicity and choose self-pay pricing instead of filing with insurance. We respect whatever option works best for you.
Can I remove something for cosmetic reasons during the same visit?
Often yes — we’ll separate elective from medically necessary concerns so you understand what insurance will and won’t cover.
Why Choose a Dermatology-Led Clinic?
When it comes to your skin, training and oversight matter. Skin cancer can look different on every person — and early signs can be subtle. Being evaluated in a true medical dermatology practice means:
- You get more accurate diagnosis and earlier detection
Because your exam is performed by clinicians who focus specifically on skin cancer — with specialized training, advanced tools, and experience recognizing the earliest warning signs. - Treatment decisions are guided by a dermatologist
Board-certified oversight ensures you receive the right procedure at the right time. - Every procedure is performed using sterile technique and medical-grade safety standards
Because small details matter when it comes to minimizing scarring, infection risk, and complications. - If something serious is found, you’re not on your own
We coordinate pathology results, surgical plans, and Mohs referrals as needed. - We manage both your health and cosmetic outcome
Because you shouldn’t have to choose between the two.
