General dermatology services in Westlake Village, CA, and beyond refer to a comprehensive mix of preventive and proactive skin care; medical treatments to identify and resolve the 3,000-plus conditions that can affect the skin, hair, and nails; and aesthetic procedures to correct age-related and other cosmetic concerns. Daphne I. Panagotacos, M.D. Skin Care Centre is pleased to offer so many different types of routine, diagnostic, and restorative services; however, the team’s breadth of services is complemented with an exceptional depth of expertise.

Both Drs Panagotacos and Clayton Hinshaw are board-certified dermatologists, which means they have obtained additional training (including a residency program) and successfully passed rigorous examinations beyond the educational requirements for dermatologists who do not attain such certification.

Additionally, dermatologists may choose to complete advanced training in recognized dermatologic specialties, such as dermatopathology, Mohs surgery, and pediatric dermatology. Dr. Panagotacos is a Fellow of the American College of Mohs Surgery, which means that she has successfully demonstrated the knowledge and requirements to specialize in this precision surgery for some skin cancers. Mohs Micrographic Surgery requires exceptional skill; it is considered to be the “gold standard” for challenging and recurring Basal Cell Carcinomas and Squamous Cell Carcinomas, and some types of melanomas. It also preserves maximal tissues in prominent or functionally important areas, such as the lips, nose, and toes.

Dr. Hinshaw also holds the distinction of being “dual board-certified”; in addition to being a board-certified dermatologist, he is also a board-certified internal medicine specialist, having completed an intensive internal medicine residency at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Drs Hinshaw and Panagotacos are joined in their efforts to keep your skin looking and feeling its healthy best by an exceptional team of nurse practitioners and a licensed paramedical aesthetician. You and your family are in good hands, with not only a comprehensive array of services conveniently located under our Westlake Village, CA roof but also, notably, quality, and advanced products and procedures that you can trust, including:
