Dermatology in Chestnut Hill, MA: what to know before you book

Most visits are 15–30 minutes and include a full-body skin check when appropriate. Board-certified dermatologists perform biopsies and simple surgical excisions in-office; Mohs surgeons handle complex skin-cancer removal on the face and hands.
