Welcome to The Skin Cancer Center
The Skin Cancer Center, a network of medical specialists providing comprehensive skin cancer care, was founded in 2009 by Justin Piasecki, MD. Dr. Piasecki is the only surgeon in the world who is double board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and is also a member of the Mohs College.
With this unique training, Dr. Piasecki pioneered plastic micrographic surgery. This treatment method combines the highest cure rate for basal and squamous cell carcinoma of Mohs surgery, with cosmetic reconstruction, for the most cost effective and convenient approach to skin cancer care.
