PLANO DERMATOLOGY
Dermatologist - Plano, TX , Prosper, TX and Flower Mound,TX
Welcome! My name is Michael McGuiness. I have been a dermatologist in Plano, Texas with Plano Dermatology since 1996. Starting in November of 2010, I will also have an office in Flower Mound, Texas. My practice concentrates primarily on patients from adolescence to adulthood. Thank you for visiting my website. This site will provide you with information about many skin conditions which we treat, including medical, surgical, and cosmetic indications. There are also directions/maps to the offices, a list of insurance plans with which we participate, downloadable forms for your office visit, and pertinent articles/information from medical literature.
In addition to general dermatology skin conditions such as acne, warts, rosacea, etc., one of the major foci of my practice since 1996 has been cancer screening. From many patient testimonials, we provide what I believe to be one of the most thorough skin checks. I encourage everyone to consider a thorough skin check regularly. During this exam in the office, we usually review: 1) ultraviolet radiation, its sources and ramifications; 2) protection measures from ultraviolet radiation; 3) moles and the changes to look for in them; 4) what to look for when you do self skin exams at home.
Further, mole evaluation is one of our very frequently performed medical dermatology services. Again, this consists of visualizing your entire skin surface, from head to toe, since melanoma (potentially deadly) can occur in sun protected skin areas. We have also been providing many cosmetic dermatology and skin rejuvenative services for our patients for many years, and continually add to the scope of our offerings. Finally, please note that our hours are quite flexible, with many appointments available before 7:00 am, after 5:00 pm, and Saturday.
Remember, skin is way more than just a body bag. It is a body organ, just like your liver, heart, brain etc. It is complex in its anatomy, function, and disease states. Gastroenterologists spend years studying just the liver and g.i. tract. Cardiologists spend years studying just the heart and circulatory system. Neurologists spend years studying just the brain and neurologic system. Only dermatologists spend years studying just the skin. It makes sense - if you have a skin question or problem, start with the dermatologist!
I hope we can be of service to you in some way. Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to meeting you.
