About Us

At Summit Dermatology and Spa, our Skin Cancer Specialist is Board Certified in Dermatology, Dermatopathology and Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery (Mohs Surgeon) who is also an expert in facial reconstruction. This allows us to successfully remove very serious skin cancers in sensitive and visible areas while also providing our patients with the best possible cosmetic outcomes. With the Mohs technique, we are able to treat the most common forms of skin cancer, Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma. We can also successfully remove the most serious tumors such as Melanoma and even very rare forms like Merkel Cell Carcinomas, Keratoacanthomas, and Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSPs).

Camille, Licensed Esthetician

I have been a Licensed Esthetician for over 20 years. I love helping individuals with their skin care needs. The highlight of my career in skin care is seeing the improvements of a patients skin and helping that person feel great about the skin they're in. If they're happy, I'm happy!

"Skincare is an investment not an expense."
