Photographic record
Dr. Santiago uses advanced photographic techniques to monitor suspicious lesions closely. By capturing high-resolution images and maintaining detailed clinical records, he accurately tracks changes over time, enabling early detection and timely treatment. This approach enhances diagnostic accuracy, provides a clear visual history of skin health, and supports proactive skin cancer prevention and care.
Early detection
Dr. Santiago specializes in the early detection of skin cancers using advanced dermoscopic techniques to identify malignancies at their earliest stages. By employing state-of-the-art dermatoscopes, he meticulously examines moles, freckles, and skin abnormalities, accurately distinguishing benign from malignant lesions. His expertise enables the prompt detection of skin cancers, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma, while recognizing subtle changes and atypical features to ensure early and effective management.
Dr. Santiago is highly skilled in the surgical removal of skin cancer, carefully selecting the most appropriate technique to ensure safe removal with clear margins while preserving the cosmetic and functional aspects of the area. He offers advanced procedures, including skin grafts and skin flaps for selected cases, and expertly manages peri-operative care, anesthesia, infection control, and wound healing. For complex lesions beyond primary care, he refers patients to plastic surgery specialists, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
