>> As dermatologists, we offer treatment of diseases that affect the skin, the hair, and
the nails. We treat skin cancers and do that by screening for skin cancers, and then if
we detect them, we do skin cancer surgery here in our office. We also treat what we
call inflammatory skin diseases, which basically is anything you might think of as a rash.
And that can range, basically, from dry skin up to more serious rashes that may affect
a person throughout their entire life. We do allergy testing here, called patch testing,
to help evaluate for skin allergies that may occur in the workplace or just things -- due
to things you're exposed to in your daily life. We treat children and adults, so all
age ranges are taken care of here. And in fact, we have pediatric dermatologist who
specializes exclusively in the care of skin diseases affecting children. We have a very
active clinical research program here with trials for drugs treating things from fungal
infections to psoriasis, lupus, acne, rosacea. In addition, we have cosmetic offerings here
in our practice. We do botox and fillers, hair transplant surgery, and laser treatments,
and these are all treatments geared at taking care of things we associate with aging or
sun damage. We treat leg veins. Dr. Todd Cartee does leg vein therapy.
>> They have mostly spider veins, which is a cosmetic complaint. Then the method of choice
to treat that remains sclerotherapy, and the way that works is a syringe with a very tiny
needle is used to insert into each individual vein and inject sclerosing solution, which
is usually a type of detergent. Other than having to wear some compression stockings
or support hose for one to two weeks after the procedure, there's not a lot of downtime.
Most people go right back to work, go back to their normal lives, and over two to four
weeks, sometimes up to six weeks, the vessels disappear.
>> We are all accepting new patients here in our practice, all of our doctors, and we
are accepting new patients with any diagnosis. We do ask that patients have a referral from
their primary care physician for their first appointment, so that's the only real requirement
for a new patient in terms of scheduling. Patients can schedule by calling or clinic
directly or even after hours through the hospital care line.
