Peace of mind in about 20 minutes. A yearly full-body skin exam is the easiest way to catch skin cancer early — when it is most treatable. Our providers examine your skin head to toe with a dermatoscope, a magnifying tool that helps detect changes long before they are visible to the naked eye.
What to expect
- A private room and a gown — you choose your comfort level
- A head-to-toe skin exam, usually 15–20 minutes
- Close dermatoscope evaluation of any moles or spots
- If anything looks suspicious, we can usually photograph, monitor, or biopsy it the same visit
Good to know
- No referral needed — book directly online
- Skin cancer screenings are covered by most insurance plans
- Same-week appointments, right in downtown Northborough with free parking
- Affordable self-pay pricing if you have a high deductible
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to do anything before my visit? Come with clean skin and remove nail polish from a few nails if possible. Wear your hair loose so we can check your scalp.
I am in my 20s — do I really need this? Yes. Melanoma is one of the most common cancers in adults under 30, and it is highly curable when found early. If you have ever used tanning beds, have many moles, or a family history of skin cancer, annual checks matter even more.
What if you find something? Most spots are harmless. If a biopsy is needed, it is a quick in-office procedure with a tiny sample and minimal discomfort — usually done the same day.
