You can reduce your risk for Melanoma and oth­er skin can­cers by tak­ing pro­tec­tive mea­sures when out in the sun, per­form­ing self-skin exams to look for any abnor­mal­i­ties and keep­ing up with your annu­al full body skin exams. When found ear­ly, skin can­cer is high­ly treat­able. Click here to sched­ule with your Duly Der­ma­tol­o­gist for your annu­al full body skin exam.

"Dr. Gustafson always shows interest in the "whole" patient. She is concerned about not only your physical health problems, but also your mental health and the effects your treatment has on your family. I have several autoimmune diseases, and every time I see her she checks with me as to how those are affecting me. She could not be more thorough or compassionate in her care for her patients."
