Dr. Weber specializes in treating recurring skin cancers, those that have resisted previous treatments, as well as those that occur in delicate areas such as the eye, nose, ear, face, fingers and lips. Cancers on other body locations may be taken on a case-by-case basis. Depending upon the degree of difficulty of your case you may or may not be able to partake in the many local attractions found in South Florida. Fortunately, most skin cancers are very easy for Dr. Weber to treat, even when they occur in the delicate areas, usually taking less than 20 minutes of surgical time. For those cancers that are more complicated, for example, cancers involving half the face, patients may be limited in their activities.
For our visiting patients, there are many local attractions and ways to reach our offices. Dr. Weber's staff is happy to help with accommodations in the South Florida area ranging from finding a nice hotel to visiting nursing care if the procedure is very large. Dr. Weber has hospital operating room privileges for the rare cases that may require general anesthesia and a night's stay in the hospital.
