What is a Dermatologist?

Dr. Adam Bennett and our team of dermatologists are medical doctors specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions. We play a crucial role in preventing, detecting, and treating skin cancer, as well as managing a wide range of skin diseases.

How often should I get a full-body skin exam?

For average-risk individuals, an annual skin exam is recommended as a vital preventive measure. For patients with a personal or family history of skin cancer, or with many moles, Dr. Bennett may recommend more frequent screenings for early detection.

What is the best way to prevent skin cancer?

Protecting your skin from the sun is key. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+, seeking shade during peak sun hours, and wearing protective clothing are simple habits for lifelong skin health. Avoid tanning beds to further reduce your risk.

I'm experiencing hair loss. Can a dermatologist help?
