Dr. Beal and everyone in his office were very friendly and courteous. I got into the office relatively fast as a new patient. They all listened to me when I talked about my concerns and why I was there for my visit. Every follow up has been thorough and my surgical scars have healed beautifully after my procedures.
Response from the owner:Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
Dr. Beal is always so friendly and pleasant. He takes care of what is going on at the time and gives you options as to what you can do then and in the future. Office staff is always friendly and accommodating. Wait times are usually short and it is easy to get an appointment. Nice to have a doctor who cares and listens to you. I just saw Kaylee for my yearly checkup and she was extremely friendly and pleasant. Gave me options as to treatment and was a pleasure to deal with .
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
Everyone was very nice and friendly. I was happy with the attention was paid to my concerns and was happy to learn I was worried about nothing. I wouldn’t hesitate contacting this office again if I had any further issues in the future.
Response from the owner:We are thrilled to learn that you had a positive experience with us!
What are Skin Tags?
Skin tags are common, non-cancerous growths that often appear as people age. They are connected to the skin by a stalk and are commonly found in the underarms, around the neck, eyelids, under the breasts, groin, and thighs.
Although they are not dangerous and do not require removal, they can be unsightly and irritating.
How are Skin Tags Diagnosed?
An exam by a dermatologist is frequently all that is needed.
What are the Treatment Options for Skin Tags?
Minor surgical removal
Electrosurgery
Freezing with liquid nitrogen
What Can You Expect?
Before any procedure, you will have a consultation with our expert cosmetic dermatologists. The physician will listen to you, perform a thorough evaluation, and provide an individualized treatment plan to address your needs and concerns.
Any unsightly or irritating skin tag can be removed with almost no downtime. Most patients can resume normal activities the next day. Because skin tags are benign (non-cancerous) growths, insurance companies often do not cover their removal. Often, there is an out-of-pocket cost for the removal of skin tags that is not covered by insurance.
Is the Treatment of Skin Tags Safe?
All procedures carry some risk. However, complications from skin tag treatment procedures are uncommon when performed by board-certified cosmetic dermatologists.
