Dermatologist Serving Palmer, AK
Served by our nearby Wasilla clinic — 3066 E Meridian Park Loop, Wasilla, AK 99654
Skin cancer care for Palmer, close to home
Palmer residents no longer need to travel to Anchorage — or out of state — for advanced skin cancer treatment. Advanced Dermatology of Alaska serves Palmer and the surrounding Mat-Su Valley from our Wasilla clinic, just a short drive down the Glenn Highway at 3066 E Meridian Park Loop. Our team provides board-certified medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology, with a particular focus on skin cancer detection and treatment.
For Palmer patients facing a skin cancer diagnosis, we offer advanced treatment options right here in the Valley:
- Mohs micrographic surgery — the gold standard for many basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, with a high cure rate and the goal of preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Performed in-office by our Mohs surgeon.
- GentleCure image-guided superficial radiation therapy — a non-surgical option for select non-melanoma skin cancers, with no cutting, stitches, or downtime.
Few practices in Alaska offer both Mohs surgery and GentleCure. That means a Palmer patient can receive a diagnosis, review a full range of treatment options, and complete treatment close to home.
Comprehensive dermatology for Palmer families
Beyond skin cancer, our Wasilla clinic cares for the full range of dermatologic needs for Palmer patients of all ages:
- Full-body skin exams and skin cancer screening
- Mole checks and evaluation of changing or suspicious spots
- Skin biopsies, excisions, and in-office procedures
- Medical dermatology, including acne, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, and rashes
- Chronic immune-mediated skin disease
- Cysts, lipomas, and other skin growths
- Cosmetic and laser dermatology
Spots that are changing, bleeding, painful, growing, or not healing should be evaluated by a dermatology provider. Early detection saves lives — and in Alaska, where sun exposure on snow and water is easy to underestimate, regular skin checks matter.
