Our experienced team handles it from start to finish, so you stay with people you trust — no outside surgical centers, no extra runaround.

A Complete Check, Once a Year
Most people don’t think about a yearly skin check, but it’s one of the simplest ways to look after your health. Many of our patients pop in once a year to stay ahead of small changes that can build up over time. Living near the coast means more sun and more days outside — a quick check is an easy habit that brings peace of mind. If we spot anything, we can take care of it right here with the same team you trust.

Good skin care isn’t just about treatment plans. It’s about people you trust to listen, explain, and help you feel comfortable every step of the way. Our board-certified dermatologists and experienced PA-Cs see patients for everything from skin checks to advanced care.

What to Expect
When you visit, we start with a simple conversation about your skin and any changes you have noticed. Your provider will check your skin from head to toe if needed, answer your questions, and talk through any next steps. You might leave with a treatment plan, a small procedure, or just peace of mind.
What this can include:
- A gentle skin exam
- Answers to your questions
- A treatment plan or prescriptions
- In-office procedures if needed
- Clear advice about what comes next
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book a visit directly for any skin concern, big or small.
Is it covered by insurance?
Most visits, skin checks, and treatments are covered by insurance, including Medicare. Some procedures may have a copay or small out-of-pocket cost. If you have questions, our team will help you understand what to expect before your visit.
How long does a visit take?
Most visits take about 20 minutes for a skin check or basic exam. If you need a procedure, like a biopsy or removal, plan for a little more time. We’ll explain what to expect before you come in.
How often should I get a skin check?
Many people get one every year, especially if they spend a lot of time in the sun or have had a spot removed before.
If you have had skin cancer in the past, we recommend every 6 months.
What if you find something?
We handle most removals and treatments right here, so you don’t have to go anywhere else.
Real Stories From Real Patients
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am a long time patient of Summit Dermatology. I had an annual exam yesterday with Maura Jones and her assistant, Jane. They were both professional, thorough, friendly, and caring. I continue to recommend Summit to friends, neighbors and newcomers to our area.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I am a retired dermatologist offering my strong endorsement of Dr. Lydia Shedlofsky – clinical and surgical dermatologist. I was a practicing dermatologist for ten years at Summit and know that it is a highly personal decision to entrust one’s skin care to a physician. To my past patients as well as prospective patients seeking a dermatologist with compassion and an ability to communicate, to listen and appreciate your concerns, and prioritize those concerns, “Dr. Shed” meets my standards in those qualities. “Dr. Shed” recently treated a rather large skin cancer on my mid-face with Mohs Surgery and now, a year later, the end result is excellent! She is highly competent and professional. I have no doubt you will be pleased with Dr. Shedlofsky.
