In my practice, I strive to help my patients understand their diagnosis and work with them and their referring physician to choose an evidence-based therapeutic regimen that is tailored to their particular needs while achieving the highest possible cure rate, and the best functional and cosmetic outcome.

The incidence of both melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers is on the rise; at the same time, our ability to treat skin cancers has vastly improved. Today there are many strategies for treating skin cancers which include radiation and light-based therapy, topical and systemic chemotherapy, conventional surgery, and Mohs micrographic surgery, a highly effective treatment modality for skin cancers with aggressive behavior or located in cosmetically sensitive areas. In my practice, I strive to help my patients understand their diagnosis and work with them and their referring physician to choose an evidence-based therapeutic regimen that is tailored to their particular needs while achieving the highest possible cure rate, and the best functional and cosmetic outcome.

Thank you
Dr Samie is the BEST!
Explained everything and Kept me up to date.
Dr. Samie is very good, but the intern he had stitch me up (without first asking for my permission) was only so/so. Since the last time I allowed myself to be used for training, it didn't work out well, I would have appreciated giving consent. Hopefully, it won't matter, but the early returns are not encouraging.
He is an excellent dermatological surgeon. I would always be comfortable recommending him to anyone requiring such surgery. I invariably. feelzaa relaxed and secure when he and his staff are treating me.
So kind most importantly a terrific surgeon
Excellent care
terrific staff
Waited 3 hours for a 5 minute appointment that should have been a phone call.
he is so knowledgeable and his skills at Moh surgery cannot be topped
