Dr. Joshua Hagen is a Board-Certified Dermatologist and a Fellowship-Trained Mohs Surgeon. As a physician, he strives to be an active listener and clear communicator so his patients leave the office feeling not only does their doctor understand them, but also that they understand what he said. Dr. Hagen has completed an intensive training program in skin cancer surgery and advanced facial reconstruction. His professional areas of interest are skin cancer detection and treatment and Mohs skin cancer surgery. In addition, he takes special interest in numerous cosmetic dermatology treatments for skin issues including scars, facial wrinkles, facial volume loss, skin pigment irregularities, sun damage, rosacea and unwanted veins and birthmarks.
