Expert skin cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment
Early detection is crucial in the fight against skin cancer. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, one in five people will develop skin cancer during their lifetime. Your Wexford dermatologist will carefully look at your skin for the early signs of precancerous or cancerous spots to detect both non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer.
If you’re diagnosed with skin cancer, your board-certified dermatologist will provide the care and support you need to get better. We’ll discuss your treatment options with you and develop a personalized plan. Scraping and burning, standard excision, cryotherapy, and Mohs surgery are the skin cancer treatment options provided by your Wexford dermatologist.
Dr. Hagen is a board-certified dermatologist and a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon. Mohs surgery is regarded for its accuracy and high success rate in treating skin cancer, and most patients only need a single surgery. Dr. Hagen is skilled at providing cosmetically conscious skin cancer removal.

Melanie Costa, Kristen Stephen, Joshua Hagen, and Nadia Sundlass, as well as physician assistants Jason Oberdick, Melissa Hutzler, and Caitlyn Stowe are committed to providing quality care, diagnosis, and treatment for many conditions affecting the skin, nails, and hair.

We also encourage everyone to follow the recommendations set forth by the American Cancer Society and the American Academy of Dermatology and schedule a skin cancer screening once a year.
