UConn Health Dermatology Experts
At UConn Health, our expert dermatology team offers cutting-edge surgical and non-surgical procedures to care for your skin condition in a safe, welcoming, and comfortable environment.
Stopping Skin Cancer Before It Starts
We’re here to help you stay on top of your skin health. That’s why our recommendations include regular skin checks, especially if you’re at high-risk for skin cancer. If your doctor believes skin cancer screening is right for you, you’re in good hands with the region’s leading experts — and some of today’s most sophisticated technologies, like total body imaging that can monitor and track your skin changes.
Finding skin cancer in its earliest stages is key to a successful outcome. In collaboration with the Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center, we offer complete care for melanoma.
