The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery’s Fort Myers team joined others in the community to help educate the children at the Community Helper Day at the Evangelical Christian School on Friday, September 16th.

The event also featured various other community helpers such as the Lee County Emergency Medical Services, the Scouts, the Sheriff, dentist, psychologist, and other health professionals. The lower elementary school children were divided into groups that rotated through the various learning stations with their teachers and a few parent volunteers.

Dr. Hedy G. Setyadi taught the children the benefits and the steps for sun protection early on in their young lives. To help drive the point across, our medical assistants, Ms. Lyra and Ms. Margarita shared with the kids the results of a fun experiment of how the UV bracelet reacted to the sun exposure with and without sunscreen, even underwater, and also under sunglasses. The children enthusiastically answered our questions and of course, asked great questions as well. They were very excited to receive goodie-bags filled with educational materials on healthy sun protection habits, UV bracelet that changes colors under sunlight, sunscreen and other skin care product samples, and of course, a little surprise treat from us. The event was a success! Afterwards, everyone went out to the football field to watch a mosquito control helicopter perform remarkably skillful low-lying maneuvers before taking off.

Dr. Setyadi welcomes patients of all ages at The Woodruff Institute’s Fort Myers office, located at 14440 Metropolis Avenue, Suite 102. Same week appointments available. Request an appointment online or call our office at (239) 498-DERM (3376) for more information.

The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery is thrilled to be voted Best Mohs Surgeons of Southwest Florida for 2016 by the News-Press!

One in five Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime. If you should get the news that you have skin cancer, the physicians and staff at The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery offer the highest quality skin cancer treatment available to the people of Southwest Florida.

Rebecca W. Lambert MD, one of the founding members of The Woodruff Institute, and Kathryn J. Russell MD are fellowship trained Mohs Surgeons. Mohs surgery is a surgical procedure designed to remove a skin cancer completely, yet leaving as much healthy tissue behind as possible. In fellowship-trained hands, Mohs surgery offers the highest cure rate among all other treatments for skin cancer.

While any dermatologist may offer to perform Mohs surgery, only Fellows of the American College of Mohs Surgery (ACMS) have undergone rigorous fellowship training. Mohs Surgery Fellows are chosen through an extremely competitive selection process and are required to complete an intensive 1 or 2 year post-residency ACMS fellowship training program. Becoming a Fellow of the American College of Mohs Surgery is a qualification earned by less than 8% of all dermatologists nationwide.

Jonathan E. Sonne, MD, also a founding member of The Woodruff Institute, is a fellowship trained and board certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon. Our patients receive the precision of a Mohs Surgeon and the aesthetic expertise of a Facial Plastic Surgeon for the treatment of their skin cancers to give the best possible results.

Our approach to skin cancer is proactive, preventive, and prescriptive. Our goal is to completely remove the tumor while minimizing the scarring. There are a variety of treatments available to patients for enhancement of reconstructed areas following skin cancer surgery. We will continue to work with patients after their surgery to minimize scarring. Click here to learn more about skin cancer treatment at The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery.
