Why patients choose our Northborough office
- Same-week appointments. Whether you have a specific skin concern or you are due for an annual skin check, we typically schedule appointments within a week. New patients are always welcome. For acute and chronic medical conditions we offer same-day appointments, so you can skip an unnecessary trip to urgent care or the emergency room.
- Convenient, in-office care. Many minor skin surgeries are done right here in the office and do not require a hospital or surgical center. Dr. Novikov is a specialist, so a referral from your primary care physician is usually not needed. Our Northborough office is an easy drive from Westborough, Marlborough, Shrewsbury, Berlin, and Hudson, with plenty of free parking.
- Lower cost of care. A procedure done in the office costs far less than the same procedure in a hospital or surgical center, because there are no facility fees. We accept most insurance plans, and we know high deductibles lead many patients to delay care — so our out-of-pocket payment options are about 20% lower than the national average.
FAQs
- Why should I get a skin cancer screening? Skin cancer is highly treatable when it is found early. A screening is quick and painless, and it can catch a changing mole or lesion long before it becomes a serious problem.
- Are all skin exams the same? No. Our providers use a dermatoscope to look beneath the surface of a mole, which helps detect skin cancer earlier than an exam with the naked eye alone.
- What is ‘lumps and bumps’ surgery? It is the in-office removal of skin growths such as cysts, lipomas, moles, and skin tags, typically with a local anesthetic and often in a single visit.
- Do I need a referral to be seen? In most cases, no. You can book directly with any of our providers. If your plan does require a referral, our staff will let you know when you call.
- How soon can I get an appointment? Most new patients are seen within a week, and same-day visits are often available for urgent skin problems.
- Do you accept my insurance? We accept most major plans. If you are paying out of pocket, ask about our self-pay rates, which average about 20% below the national average.
