Nicole C. Pace, MD

A positive patient experience is critical for the successful treatment of skin cancer. I am committed to providing each patient with the most comfortable experience, minimizing stress that can sometimes surround a surgical procedure. As a Mohs surgeon, my goal is to use microscopic examination to ensure complete removal of the skin cancer while minimizing the amount of tissue removed. Being confident that the skin cancer is gone with the least amount of normal tissue removed makes it easier to restore appearance and function. This powerful technique combined with a thoughtful and compassionate team is why I am committed to taking care of patients with skin cancer.

I focus my dermatology practice on skin cancer. In particular, I see patients with rare lymphomas of the skin (cutaneous T cell lymphoma or cutaneous B cell lymphoma) and patients who are at high risk of developing skin cancer due to either a suppressed immune system (organ transplant recipients or patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia) or other genetic factors. I collaborate with other specialists to provide coordinated multidisciplinary care, while I work with my patients to create a skin cancer management and prevention plan that best fits their needs. I am a member of the United States Cutaneous Lymphoma Consortium and the International immunosuppression and Transplant Skin Cancer Collaborative which allows me to actively collaborate with physicians who have similar interests. I am grateful to be able to develop relationships with and learn from my patients over time, teach residents and medical students about rare skin disorders, and participate in research to help advance our knowledge within the field of cutaneous oncology.

At any age, glowing, healthy skin contributes meaningfully to a person’s overall well-being. My philosophy of care focuses on promoting, developing, and maintaining skin health for all of my patients. As both a cosmetic and medical dermatologist, I approach skin disease and skin performance with the goal of maximizing health potential, rather than just controlling disease. My expertise in the use of lasers, fillers, neurotoxins, cosmeceuticals, and other skin rejuvenating procedures allows me to address problem areas while safeguarding healthy skin. I also educate patients on skin fitness to help them control the day-to-day look, feel, and function of their skin. When patients are knowledgeable and empowered in the care of their skin, the doctor-patient partnership can achieve excellent results.
