Dermatology access in Middle Georgia is more limited than primary care or dentistry. The region has two main dermatology groups — Georgia Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center and Skin Care Physicians of Georgia — along with a smaller number of independent providers. Wait times for new-patient appointments can run four to eight weeks, especially for medical dermatology. Skin cancer screening is particularly relevant here: Georgia’s warm climate and outdoor lifestyle put residents at elevated risk, and the American Academy of Dermatology estimates that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. The five practices below were verified through their own business websites and are currently active.

FAQ
How long is the wait for a dermatologist appointment in Middle Georgia?
New-patient appointments for medical dermatology typically book four to eight weeks out. Cosmetic dermatology appointments may be available sooner. If you have a suspicious mole or skin lesion, mention it when scheduling — most practices will prioritize urgent skin cancer concerns. If you cannot wait, your primary care doctor can evaluate the lesion and refer you urgently if needed.
Should I get an annual skin cancer screening?
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends regular skin self-exams for everyone and professional skin exams based on individual risk factors. If you have a history of sunburns, fair skin, a family history of skin cancer, or work outdoors, annual professional screenings are strongly recommended. Middle Georgia’s sunny climate increases UV exposure for outdoor workers and athletes.
What is Mohs surgery and where can I get it in Middle Georgia?
Mohs micrographic surgery is the most precise method for removing skin cancer. The surgeon removes thin layers of tissue and examines each layer under a microscope during the procedure, continuing until no cancer cells remain. This preserves the maximum amount of healthy tissue. In Middle Georgia, Georgia Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center offers Mohs surgery at their Warner Robins location, and Skin Care Physicians of Georgia offers it at select locations.
