Dr. Mikhail Novikov often gives this advice to students considering a career in medicine:

Students should spend time with who they want to become.

If you are considering becoming a physician or healthcare provider, you need meaningful exposure to how providers actually think, make decisions, and care for patients.

That’s why our scribe program is built differently.

We emphasize one-on-one interaction with the provider, because that is where the real learning happens. Students are not just observing pieces of the system—they are working closely alongside a provider and seeing medicine practiced in real time.

This mentorship model maximizes learning and gives students a clear understanding of what a career in medicine truly involves.

Many of our former scribes have gone on to achieve tremendous career goals in healthcare. They are now physicians, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals.

They experienced firsthand the same environment we live and breathe every day.

This is what distinguishes the program from many traditional hospital experiences, where students may rotate through fragmented roles—transporting patients, performing tasks, or scribing without meaningful one-on-one interaction with a provider.

Our goal is to give students real mentorship and insight into the profession they are considering.

The team behind the care.

We’re grateful for this dedicated group of providers, scribes, and staff who work hard every day to care for patients both in our office and at the bedside in nursing homes and long-term care facilities.

Their commitment, compassion, and teamwork make it possible to bring specialized dermatologic and wound care to patients who need it most.

Proud of the people who make this work possible.

Skin cancer prevention isn’t about one big decision — it’s built on daily habits.

Simple, consistent protection can significantly reduce lifetime UV damage and lower skin cancer risk over time.

These five habits help protect the areas most often missed and most vulnerable to sun exposure.

Prevention matters at every age — and awareness is the first step.

If you’ve noticed new or changing spots, or it’s been a while since your last skin check, our team is here to help with skin exams focused on early detection. Make your appointment on line or give us a call at 508-936-1657.

Early detection is the gold standard in skin cancer prevention.

Have you made your annual skin check appointment yet?

Spring ahead - clocks change this weekend. Time is not the only thing that is changing, your skin can change too.

If you notice a new or changing spot, it deserves a closer look.

Our providers will do a full skin check using a dermatoscope and discuss your skin cancer risks. Make your appointment online or call the office.

Skin health shouldn’t be left to luck.

If you have a mole or area on your skin that is new, changing and concerns you….it concerns us too. Most skin concerns are benign — but when something needs treatment, early detection makes all the difference.

Schedule your skin check with our skin specialists.

Our skin naturally changes over time — but not all aging is the same.

According to dermatology research, factors like collagen loss, lifelong sun exposure, and environmental stress all contribute to wrinkles, spots, and changes in skin texture.

The good news?
Daily protection and skin awareness can influence how skin ages.

If you notice new or changing spots, texture changes, or areas that don’t heal, a professional skin exam can provide clarity and peace of mind.

Q: How should skin cancer prevention differ between teens and adults?

Mikhail Novikov summarizes in this video.

Skin cancer prevention applies to both teens and adults — but the focus is different.

In teenagers, prevention is about early intervention. We’re protecting skin that may not show damage yet. Many young people believe they are “fine” because their skin looks healthy. But UV exposure during teenage years can act like a ticking time bomb. With longer life expectancies, damage that happens at 15 may present at 45 or 50 if the skin isn’t protected.

That’s why sunscreen use, limiting intense sun exposure, and avoiding tanning beds are critical habits to build early.

In adults, prevention shifts slightly. As we age, our immune systems naturally weaken. Cumulative sun damage combined with immune changes can allow precancerous or cancerous lesions to develop sooner than originally projected.

For adults, protection remains important — but so does regular skin evaluation. Early detection becomes just as important as prevention.

The key message is simple:
Prevention starts young. Detection becomes increasingly important with age. Both matter.

Make an appointment with one of our skin specialists to talk about your skin cancer risks.

Sunscreen isn’t just for beach days and summer sun.

UV exposure happens year-round — even on cold, cloudy, and winter days. In fact, snow can reflect up to 80% of UV rays, increasing exposure to your skin.

That means daily protection still matters, no matter the season.

Make sunscreen part of your everyday routine:

-Apply to face, ears, and neck
-Reapply with prolonged outdoor time
-Use year-round — not just in summer

Consistent protection today helps prevent skin damage and skin cancer tomorrow.

If you have questions about sun protection or notice changes in your skin, our team is here to help. Make your skin check appointment today.

Skin changes are a natural part of life. As we grow, our skin grows with us — from childhood to adulthood to our later years.

But here’s what matters: some changes are simply aging, and some deserve a closer look.

New spots. Changing moles. Areas that don’t heal.
These are the moments when a full skin check with one of our providers can make all the difference.

At Dr. Novikov Wellness & Skin Care, skin exams are physician-led, thorough, and focused on what truly matters — early detection and peace of mind.

If something on your skin has caught your attention, it’s worth having it checked. Schedule your appointment with us today.
