Dr. Christine Cabell, M.D., Chief Medical Director, and Megan Harris, PA-C, Dermdox Mohs Center, Sugarloaf, PA
Christine Cabell, M.D. is double board certified in Dermatology and Micrographic Dermatology Surgery. She graduated from Penn State College of Medicine with MD degree and completed an internship in Internal Medicine and residency in Dermatology at Hershey Medical Center. Dr. Cabell then completed a Mohs Surgery and Procedural Dermatology fellowship at U Mass Medical Center. She has extensive experience in Mohs micrographic surgery and reconstruction for treating skin cancers as well as excisional surgery for benign and malignant lesions, biopsy, and removal of skin lesions.
Dr. Cabell is the only surgeon in Northeast PA trained to perform Mohs surgery with Mart-1 immunostains for the treatment of melanoma in situ and lentigo malignant melanomas. Combining immunostains with the frozen sections provides precise and comprehensive margin assessment and same-day reconstruction for this difficult-to-clear tumor in cosmetically sensitive areas.
