Skin cancer checks in San Diego save complexions and lives

All types of skin cancer are serious – they have the potential to cause disfiguration or become fatal. Exposure to ultraviolet light (sunshine) is directly linked to most skin cancers, and San Diego County gets about 263 days of it each year. Regular professional skin cancer checks at Coastal Skin and Eye Institute in San Diego catch problems early, when the least invasive treatment can provide the best outcome.

Skin cancer screening

An initial skin cancer screening appointment is painless and takes less than an hour.

Here’s what to expect:

Before your appointment, make note of any spots that itch, bleed, or have changed in appearance.
In the exam room, remove clothing (shoes and socks, too), and don a hospital gown.
One of our Board-certified dermatologists carefully examines your skin from head to toe.
The doctor carefully examines each lesion and notes suspicious areas.
You and the doctor have an unhurried consultation, discussing areas of concern, and lifestyle factors that may contribute to skin cancer risk.
If a lesion that may be cancerous or pre-cancerous is found, the doctor recommends biopsy or removal.
You receive educational materials, and the doctor explains how to perform monthly home checks.

On-site treatment

A full range of skin cancer treatments are available at Coastal Skin and Eye Institute. Dr. Christopher Crosby is Fellowship-trained in Mohs micrographic surgery. This precise, systematic technique, under microscopic evaluation, is regarded as one of the best options for many types of skin cancer. It preserves healthy tissue and has an extremely high success rate. The entire procedure is done in one visit.

Get started on the path to healthier skin and peace of mind. Skin cancer checks can be scheduled at our San Diego practice. Call (858) 943-2540.

Actual Patient Review

The best service in my 20 year history of buying eye wear. Had to buy a pair of mid-range glasses for both music and computer use, a tough requirement. Randy provided me just the right amount of information and help to make a great choice that satisfied all my criteria, including price. I could not be happier. ~ Alex D. ~ Originally posted on
