Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, but with early diagnosis, it can be very treatable. As a board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Asfa is uniquely qualified to diagnose, biopsy and surgically remove cancerous growths and lesions using specialized techniques to preserve your health and appearance. Dr. Asfa recommends regular self-exams to check for unusual spots, blemishes, moles or freckles. In addition, he recommends scheduling an annual skin exam with him so he can do a thorough evaluation, identify concerns, and perform a biopsy or surgery if necessary. Annual skin checks are covered by insurance. 

Often, Dr. Asfa is able to perform minimally invasive skin cancer biopsies in his office, but sometimes a surgical biopsy must be performed at the hospital.
