I have co-authored two textbooks on Mohs surgery and over 40 peer-reviewed papers. I also have 32 years of experience in procedural dermatology - including laser, chemical peels, dermal fillers, botulinum treatments, eyelid surgery and mini-face lifts. I also have experience serving as an expert witness in civil and criminal cases and as a chart reviewer.
