Cutaneous & Aesthetic Surgery

The cutaneous and aesthetic surgery specialists within Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine's Department of Dermatology offer education related to the more complex surgical, laser and cosmetic procedures.

We understand that undergoing procedures, whether for skin cancer removal or improving the appearance of the skin, can be anxiety producing. Our goal is to care for patients as if they were family members, with compassion and skill, from the time they call to make an appointment to after they have healed completely.”
