Frequently Asked Questions

What does a dermatopathologist do?

A dermatopathologist specializes in diagnosing skin diseases by examining tissue samples under a microscope. They play a critical role in identifying conditions such as skin cancer, inflammatory skin diseases, and complex dermatologic disorders.

How is dermatopathology used in skin cancer diagnosis?

Dermatopathology is essential for confirming skin cancer diagnoses. After a biopsy is performed, the dermatopathologist analyzes the tissue to determine whether cancer is present and what type it is, which guides treatment decisions.

What makes Dr. Wilentz’s background unique?

Dr. Wilentz combines extensive training from leading institutions like Harvard and Johns Hopkins with deep expertise in both dermatopathology and gastrointestinal pathology, along with academic research and teaching experience.

Do patients see a dermatopathologist directly?

Most patients do not interact directly with a dermatopathologist. Instead, they work behind the scenes with dermatologists and other physicians to provide accurate diagnoses that guide patient care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mohs surgery and is it right for me?

Mohs micrographic surgery is the gold standard for treating many common skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. During the procedure, Dr. Russo removes the cancer layer by layer, examining each layer under a microscope until all cancer cells are cleared. This technique offers the highest cure rates while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible — making it ideal for cancers on the face, neck, hands, and other cosmetically sensitive areas. Dr. Russo will evaluate your specific case and walk you through whether Mohs is the right approach for you.

What happens after Mohs surgery — will I need reconstruction?

After the cancer is fully removed, Dr. Russo will discuss the best options for closing and repairing the surgical site. Depending on the size and location of the wound, this may involve a simple closure, a skin flap, or a graft. Dr. Russo has advanced fellowship training in reconstructive techniques and places a strong emphasis on achieving the best possible aesthetic outcome alongside a complete surgical cure.

How do I know if a mole or spot needs to be evaluated?

Any mole or spot that is new, changing in size, shape, or color, bleeding, or simply looks different from others on your body should be evaluated by a dermatologist. Dr. Russo recommends annual full-body skin exams for all patients — especially those with a history of significant sun exposure, a personal or family history of skin cancer, or a large number of moles. Early detection is the most important factor in successful skin cancer treatment.

Does Dr. Russo see patients for general dermatology in addition to surgery?

Yes. While Dr. Russo has a particular focus on surgical dermatology and Mohs surgery, she is a board-certified dermatologist who provides comprehensive dermatologic care. She takes pride in building long-term relationships with her patients and is committed to addressing each patient’s concerns thoroughly, whether surgical or medical in nature.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mohs surgery and does Dr. Beirne perform it?

Mohs micrographic surgery is the gold standard treatment for many common skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. During the procedure, Dr. Beirne removes the cancer layer by layer, examining each layer under a microscope until all cancer cells are cleared. This technique offers the highest cure rates while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible — making it especially ideal for cancers on cosmetically sensitive areas like the face and neck. Mohs surgery is one of Dr. Beirne’s primary clinical interests and areas of expertise.

How does Dr. Beirne approach reconstructive surgery after skin cancer removal?

Dr. Beirne combines her surgical precision with an artistic sensibility to achieve the best possible aesthetic outcomes following skin cancer removal. She carefully evaluates each patient’s unique anatomy and skin to determine the most appropriate reconstructive approach, whether that involves a simple closure, a skin flap, or a graft. Her background in both wound healing research and fine art informs her commitment to results that are not only medically sound but aesthetically excellent.

What should I expect during a skin cancer screening with Dr. Beirne?

A skin cancer screening with Dr. Beirne involves a thorough full-body skin exam to evaluate moles, spots, and lesions for any signs of concern. She is trained to identify early warning signs of skin cancer and will walk you through any findings in a clear, compassionate way. Annual screenings are recommended for all patients — especially those with a history of significant sun exposure, a personal or family history of skin cancer, or a large number of moles. Early detection is the most important factor in successful treatment.

Does Dr. Beirne see patients for general dermatology in addition to surgery?

Yes. While Dr. Beirne has a particular focus on dermatologic surgery and Mohs micrographic surgery, she is a board-certified dermatologist who provides comprehensive dermatologic care. Trained at one of the top dermatology programs in the country at the University of Miami, she brings a high level of clinical expertise to every patient visit, whether surgical or medical in nature.
