I’m excited to share that I have officially earned my Dermatology Certified Nurse Practitioner (DCNP) certification.

This certification represents advanced training and testing in dermatology, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue expanding my knowledge to better care for our patients.

Dermatology is constantly evolving, and staying up-to-date ensures we provide the best care possible.

🩺 What to Expect at a Skin Exam

Skin checks are quick, simple — and can truly save lives. Here’s what happens at your visit:

✨ We review your history - Personal & family history of skin cancer, tanning exposure, changing spots, or areas of concern.

✨ Full-body exam - We examine your skin from head to toe (yes, scalp included). You’ll change into a gown, and we keep you appropriately draped for comfort.

✨ We check moles & other lesions closely - Using a dermatoscope, we evaluate any concerning lesions for asymmetry, border changes, color variation, or growth.

✨ Biopsy if needed - if something looks suspicious, we may numb the area and take a small sample. It’s quick and typically very well tolerated.

✨ Prevention guidance - We review sunscreen habits, self-skin exams, and how often you should return.

⏱ Most exams take about 15–20 minutes.📅 Annual skin checks are recommended for most adults — sooner if you notice a changing spot.

If you’ve been putting it off, consider this your reminder 💙Your skin is worth it.

Here in North Dakota, hand dermatitis is incredibly common right now.

❄️ Cold weather
🧼 Frequent handwashing
🧴 Harsh sanitizers

All of these can damage the skin barrier and cause painful, burning, cracked hands.

We can help your hands heal 🤍

Hand dermatitis is very treatable with the right diagnosis and prescription therapy when needed.

No months long waiting for appointments

☀️Did you know skin cancer is the most common cancer in the US.

☀️ When should you start full-body skin exams?
Sooner than most people think.
—many concerning spots appear in places you can’t easily see yourself.

⚠️ You may need earlier exams with:
• Tanning bed use
• Severe sunburns
• Fair skin or many moles
• Family or personal history of skin cancer

Bright Tip ✨

Not all skin exams are the same.
Seeing a provider trained in Dermatology can make all the difference in catching skin cancer early.

📞 Call to schedule your full-body skin exam.
