Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States — and here on the sunny Central Coast, prevention, early detection, and expert treatment are especially important. The vast majority of skin cancers are highly curable when treated promptly.

Types We Treat

We care for patients with basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and rarer skin malignancies. Treatment depends on the type, size, depth, and location of the lesion, as well as your overall health and cosmetic considerations.

Radiation as a Surgery-Sparing Option

For many skin cancers — particularly lesions on the nose, ears, eyelids, lips, and other surgically challenging locations — radiation therapy offers an effective, non-invasive alternative to surgery, often with excellent cosmetic results. We will help you understand whether radiation, surgery, or a combined approach is right for your situation.

Prevention and Vigilance

After treatment, we help you build a practical plan for skin protection and regular follow-up checks, because patients who have had one skin cancer are at higher risk of developing another. Early detection remains your strongest ally.
