- Mohs SurgeryWhat can I say... I love this office and staff! I wish I could see them for all my health care needs. Dr. Black is very kind, companionate, listens to patient concerns, and very thorough. Dr. J. Buker performed my Mohs surgery several years ago, and the results cosmetically were/are amazing! I’ve never left this office feeling anxious or upset from the unknown, or unnecessary comments made to an already nervous patient, as I have other medical offices in Lexington. Very compassionate & professional.

- Skin CancerSkin cancer is the most common cancer, and is highly treatable when found early. Risk factors for skin cancer include fair skin, family history of skin cancer, and history of significant sun exposure. Skin cancers vary in shape, color, size and texture. It is recommended that any changing or otherwise suspicious growths be examined by a physician. During a skin cancer screening, you will be offered an examination of the skin from scalp to feet (or to your comfort level). In addition to the examination, you will be educated on any growths noted by our dermatologists, and any suspicious growths will be biopsied or scheduled for treatment.

- Acne TreatmentI was beyond impressed with Dr. Black’s knowledge and passion for acne treatment. She made sure to take time to explain her treatment plan in detail and didn’t rush through the appointment. I’ve seen several dermatologist in 2 states and she is by far the best I’ve encountered. I’m finally optimistic about my skin turning around!
