“We encourage all of you to come out and get your skin checked at any one of our four offices. It’s simple; it’s easy; it’s free and it’s fast.”– Dr. David Adams

Did you know 1 in 50 Americans will develop melanoma in their lifetime? If caught in the early stages, melanoma is entirely treatable, but it does spread quickly. Early detection and treatment is vital to survival.

In an effort to encourage annual skin checks and melanoma awareness, the American Academy of Dermatology designates the first Monday of May as Melanoma Monday. Coastal Skin Surgery & Dermatology will be offering FREE SKIN CANCER SCREENINGS for the community on Monday, May 7th from 1:00-4:00pm. Stop by one of our four locations in in Miramar Beach/Destin, Niceville/Bluewater Bay, Fort Walton Beach, and Panama City Beach office locations to see one of our board-certified dermatologists.
