Skin Cancer
View More Before & Afters
Overview
Your skin is the largest organ of your body. Sometimes cells in the skin undergo changes that create spots, bumps, and moles that eventually become skin cancer. Many of these changes to the skin are often left ignored and lead to more serious issues down the line if left untreated or undiagnosed.
Because skin cancer is the most common of all cancers and accounts for millions of cases each year, early detection is vital for successful treatment. If you notice changes in your skin, you can give yourself a head start by scheduling a check-up with Schlessinger MD.
Dr. Joel Schlessinger, a board-certified dermatologist at Schlessinger MD in Omaha, Nebraska, can assess your concerns about suspicious spots and moles and provide accurate diagnosis and treatment for skin cancer. He has the medical background to look at all aspects of this condition and the surgical training to perform a specialized form of treatment called Moh’s microsurgery for cancer removal.
Additionally, he has been actively involved in clinical research on skin cancer and its causes. Dr. Schlessinger has done over 20 clinical trials on treatments for skin cancer or pre-skin cancer and has been active in this field for over 25 years.

Patient Reviews
I have been a patient of Dr Schlessinger’s for right around 20 years. I’m a fair-skinned former sun worshiper and am paying the price for my years in the sun now. I have found Dr. Schlessinger and his entire staff to be knowledgeable, efficient, friendly and thorough. I have had Mohs surgery nine times now and the resultant scars are barely noticeable. Dr. Schlessinger does an excellent job.

“I enjoy the challenge of not only curing skin cancer, but leaving the patient with the best scar possible. As a board-certified dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon, I always want to leave the patient as good or better than they were when they came in with skin cancer.”
