High-Risk Skin Cancer Clinic / Skin Cancer Dermatology
If your immune system is suppressed due to organ transplant or taking medications like azathioprine, your risk of developing skin cancer rises as much as ten-fold. You need a dermatologist who will follow you closely to catch and treat any potential cancers early, before they can cause serious health problems.
We understand the rigor required to monitor and treat people at high risk for skin cancer. Dr. Carolyn Lee, our clinical director, allots more time per patient than most dermatologists, and she sees them more frequently, so she can deliver personalized care.

We want to make your treatment as effective as possible. If you are a transplant candidate, contact us before your transplant surgery so we can evaluate your post-transplant risk level for skin cancer and prepare a treatment plan in coordination with your transplant team. Please ask us any questions you have — we want to make you comfortable and prepared.
