Conditions Treated by Mission Viejo Dermatologists
Dermatologists are just like any other specialized doctors who undergo training and education in medical schools and post graduate studies. Most board-certified dermatologists go through an internship and residency program before actually practicing as specialized medical practitioners.There are two major services that dermatologists are trained and educated to handle. First and foremost, they diagnose and treat a wide range of skin-related health complications in patients. The other huge responsibility bestowed upon these dermatologists is to help patients improve their overall appearance by altering specific aspects of their skin. Dermatology as a field of medicine has several sub specialties under it. Some of the most common divisions of dermatology are, but not limited to medical dermatology, dermatopathology, aesthetics, Mohs surgeries, pediatric dermatology and dermatologic surgery. Dr. Wang is conversant with all these specialties. At Alta Dermatology, we offer all the above specialized services to our patients at an affordable cost.

Medical Dermatologist Services
This is where we diagnose any type of skin- related health complication that a patient may be experiencing. Some examples are 
patients suffering from skin cancer or a dermatological condition that requires medical attention. A patient may be suffering from cancerous growths on or just beneath their skin. Dr. Wang can surgically or topically treat these lesions. In most cases, these types of health complications will require some form of intervention to determine the best course of action depending on the skin issue.
Skin Diseases
Treatment of skin diseases can be done through surgery in the case of cancerous growths and lesions or by using prescribed drugs and medications in the cases of dermatological conditions. Sometimes natural treatments such as vitamins, changes in diet and light treatment may be helpful. The best form of treatment will be determined after various vigorous tests and screenings are done by Dr. Wang in order to get to the root of the problem. Dermatological tests and screenings are part and parcel of the medical services offered at Alta Dermatology.
Some skin ailments and health complications require that a patient undergo a healing program in order for them to eradicate the problem. Dr. Wang is the right person to guide a patient through this healing process by providing the best types of medication and solution to the disease that is affecting a patient. A quick consultation with Dr. Wang can shed a lot of light into the nature of a certain skin ailment and the implications it has on a patient in the short term as well as in the long term.
