Waccamaw Dermatology's eleventh practice in the Carolinas will
improve access to skin cancer screening and skin checkups and
reduce wait times for dermatological care.
MOUNT
PLEASANT, S.C., May 6, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Waccamaw Dermatology, one of the largest
physician-owned and led dermatology practices in the Carolinas,
today announced the opening of a new office to serve the
Mount Pleasant area. The new
office — the eleventh in the multi-award-winning Waccamaw
Dermatology practice — expands access to skin cancer screening to a
population that needs quality dermatological care. Skin cancer
screening is recommended beginning in a person's mid-20s, but
studies show it still lags behind screening for other types of
cancers. Waccamaw Dermatology currently operates
"Waccamaw Dermatology is committed to
providing the best clinical care and patient experience for
dermatology patients in the Carolinas," said Brandon J. Coakley, M.D., Board-Certified
Dermatologist, fellowship-trained Mohs Surgeon, and Managing
Partner of Waccamaw Dermatology.
The opening of the new Mount
Pleasant office is driven by consistent demand for quality
dermatology offices. Regional patients continue to wait months for
appointments or often drive out of the area to see a dermatologist
sooner. Waccamaw Dermatology's Mount
Pleasant office — and other planned offices — will allow
patients to be seen faster and ultimately help successfully
identify and treat skin cancers and other skin diseases. Skin
cancer is treatable and beatable with early detection.
"Waccamaw Dermatology is committed to providing the best
clinical care and patient experience for dermatology patients in
the Carolinas," said Brandon J.
Coakley, M.D., Board-Certified Dermatologist,
fellowship-trained Mohs Surgeon, and Managing Partner of Waccamaw
Dermatology. "Our new Mount
Pleasant office will give patients another place to receive
dermatological care and access the treatment and specialists needed
to keep their skin healthy and skin cancer at bay. We encourage the
local community to give us a call and set up an appointment."
Skin cancer screening is crucial to maintaining good health,
particularly for an aging population with decades of cumulative sun
exposure. However, with dermatologists only making up 1% of
physicians in the United States,
long waits are common, and many patients give up before they find a
specialist. Dermatologists also believe wait times are far too long
for their patients. Waccamaw Dermatology is committed to ensuring
that visiting a dermatologist is as easy as seeing any other
medical specialist.
In addition to skin cancer screening and all routine
dermatological needs, Waccamaw Dermatology offers Mohs Surgery.
Sometimes called Mohs micrographic surgery, Mohs removes all
cancerous cells. While Mohs can treat most skin cancers, it is
considered the most effective basal and squamous cell carcinoma
treatment.
