At Direct Dermatology, a range of dermatologic surgical services is offered to treat different needs and conditions. A primary focus is on skin cancer treatment, utilizing techniques such as excision, electrodesiccation and curettage (ED&C), and Mohs surgery. Excision involves surgically removing cancerous tissue; ED&C is a procedure where the cancerous area is scraped away and then treated with an electric needle; and Mohs surgery is a precise method to remove cancer layer by layer, preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. These methods aim to address the unique requirements of each skin cancer patient, ensuring the most effective and suitable treatment is provided.

Dr. Riyaz brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in micrographic surgery and dermatological oncology, having completed a comprehensive fellowship in these specializations. A micrographic surgery fellowship, like the one Dr. Riyaz undertook, provides intensive training in advanced surgical techniques such as Mohs surgery for the precise removal of skin cancers. The dermatologic oncology component entails extensive study of common and rare skin cancers, enabling a deeper understanding of their management. This advanced training and experience attest to Dr. Riyaz’s profound expertise and commitment to providing exemplary care in managing and treating skin cancers, ensuring that patients benefit from the most advanced and effective treatments available. Dr. Riyaz’s first-hand experience with Mohs surgery dates back to 2012, when he participated in his first case.

Beyond cancer treatments, the clinic specializes in procedures like cyst drainage and removal, helping alleviate discomfort and prevent complications. Services also include lipoma removal, a procedure to extract benign fatty tumors situated between the skin and muscle layer. Additionally, Dr. Riyaz offers earlobe repair services, assisting those who experience tearing or stretching due to earrings or trauma.

Every surgical service provided is approached with utmost precision, care, and consideration for the individual’s comfort and well-being. The goal is to deliver top-notch surgical solutions in a relaxed, professional environment, where patients feel informed and at ease before, during, and after the procedure. Whether addressing skin cancers or conducting minor surgeries, Direct Dermatology remains a reliable destination for those seeking expert dermatologic surgical care.
