Dr. Andrew Breithaupt - Dermatologist and Skin Cancer Specialist. An Expert In the Field of Dermatologic Surgery.

Beyond The O.R. With Dr. Brenner

Welcome back to Beyond the O.R., which is honoring skin cancer awareness month with a very special episode featuring our host, Dr. Kevin Brenner and his across-the-hall colleague and collaborator – a skin cancer surgeon at the top of his game. Dr. Andrew Breithaupt of Dermatology Associates Medical Group is a specialist in Mohs surgery, a highly skilled approach to treating skin cancers that uses real-time lab results and tissue-sparing techniques with cosmetically desirable results. The two Dr. Bs are sharing important information about how you can stay on top of both skin cancer detection and that all-important prevention, including what constitutes a robust mole check, how sunscreen ingredients differ and why genetic factors (such as skin tone or eye color) deserve our attention. You’ll also come away with the ABCD and E of self-screening for anything suspicious. And when in doubt? Use the month of May as an annual reminder: Is it time for you to schedule an appointment to have a dermatologist give you a thorough screening? Listen to this episode and you’ll answer with a resounding, “Yes!”
