Who We Are

Dennis Porto, MD, MPH, FAAD, FASDS

Dr Porto is a board-certified Mohs micrographic surgeon.

In dermatology residency, Dr Porto refined his surgical, reconstructive, laser, and cosmetic expertise.

He completed additional post-graduate training in Mohs micrographic surgery and reconstruction and is a board-certified micrographic surgeon. He is the author of dozens of textbook chapters and journal articles. Dr Porto was an author and editor for  the  textbook on Botox and other cosmetic injections. He was awarded the Golden Scalpel by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery.

 

Whether he is surgically removing a skin cancer, using cosmetic lasers or injectables, or helping a patient with acne achieve clear skin, Dr Porto loves finding ways to guide his patients to perfect skin health.

Mohs Surgery

There are several types of skin cancer, all of which have unique considerations for best treatment depending on a variety of factors: size, location, microscopic features, and age.

Mohs micrographic surgery offers the best clearance of common skin cancers while preserving the maximum amount of tissue prior to reconstruction. Mohs surgery is a specialized technique performed by a dermatologist.

Excisions, radiation, and electrodessication are other effective treatment options used for skin cancer. Your surgeon will help guide you to the treatment type that's the best for you and your priorities.
