larger cases and more aggressive cancers,
so we develop a higher comfort level.” Mohs
anesthesia and is therefore a very safe way to
treat skin cancers.
Skin cancer surgeries are also worrisome
for many patients who are concerned about
the nose and face. With extensive experience
in Mohs surgery, Dr. Foster removes and examines
growths layer by layer to eliminate the
cancerous tissues and achieve better cosmetic
outcomes. He notes he has had patients
requiring numerous surgeries for widespread
skin damage who have had consistently pos-
to operating, and Mohs surgery conserves
more tissue so there’s less scarring.” While
some skin cancer cases are not candidates
for Mohs procedures, Dr. Foster’s approach to
traditional excisional surgeries is also to minimize
risk and scarring to the degree possible.
Florida Dermatology and Skin Cancer Centers
team physicians, ARNPs, and PAs deliver
general and surgical dermatology services at
through the clinics to see patients and perform
Mohs surgery. “The goal of our growth
is to reach more patients, while maintaining
the same level of excellence, quality care,
and patient satisfaction.” Team members are
recruited for those qualities, and Dr. Foster is
quick to credit the practice’s successful growth
to “having a great staff and the way we treat
people.”
Skin is easy to take for granted, but it is the
largest and only outward-facing organ of the
human body. Quality care from a trusted provider
is vital in maintaining healthy skin. As Dr.
Foster says, “Our goal is to help patients keep,
protect, and return to healthy, beautiful skin.”
