Advanced Surgical Dermatology in Aurora, CO
Dr. Kim and his team are well trained and have vast experience in surgical dermatology. Surgical procedures are a fundamental aspect of dermatology for both identifying and effectively treating a variety of skin conditions.
These procedures allow for the complete and precise removal of skin cancers, such as:

- Squamous cell carcinoma
Removal by a skilled and experienced dermatologist such as Dr. Kim not only reduces the chance of recurrence but improves cosmetic appearance and restores function whenever possible. If Mohs surgery is required, you will be referred to one of our trusted partners for this procedure.
