Dr. Beal was very professional, knowledgeable and empathetic when it came to treating me. He took the time to review various test results I had that were performed by others doctors, Did his own testing, and came up with a treatment plan to help me. It was very refreshing to have a doctor explain things in great detail and answer all my questions. I would highly recommend Dr Beal to be trusted for all your skincare needs. UPDATE: Today I had an appointment with Jennifer Swofford, PA. Herself and all staff were again very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I was reassured not to worry about my initial concerns and was able to even have a mole removed same day as a consultation. It was very quick and easy. Highly recommend this group!

Was not able to get to regular dermatologist. Called St Louis Dermatology in Troy MO, they got my husband in right away and preceded with mohs surgery. They were great. Definitely recommend trying them.

Response from the owner:Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you for the review!
What are skin tags?
Skin tags are common, non-cancerous growths that tend to occur 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 will not pay for their removal. Often, there is an out-of-pocket cost that is not covered by insurance associated with the removal of skin tags.
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.
