"Connecticut Skin Institute is Fairfield County’s premier Skin Cancer, Laser and Cosmetic Surgery center, providing outstanding medical care with professionalism and detailed attention to patient comfort. We strive to provide the best and highest level of care. We have offices in both Stamford, CT and Milford, CT.

When it comes to the detection of skin cancer or skin cancer surgery for a melanoma, basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma on your face or body, or for a laser or cosmetic procedure, having a dermatologist that has completed advanced fellowship training means that you have someone who has spent years learning the procedure and then performed thousands of cases under observation. Even with the best scalpels, lasers and devices, one must remember that they are simply tools and the results and risk of complications are directly dependent on the skill and training of the person performing the procedure. Anything less than that means you are entrusting your most valuable assets to someone who might have learned these techniques at a weekend course or by being trained by the company that sells the laser or product. We do not believe in shortcuts and you shouldn’t either, especially when it comes to your health care. Why settle for anything less than the physician who teaches other physicians or writes the book chapters on a given subject!"
