According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, one in five Americans will get skin cancer in their lifetime. The high incidence of skin cancer means regular skin exams are crucial, particularly when you have a family or personal history of skin cancer. Early detection is key to provide you with more treatment choices and improved outcomes.
Skin cancers are abnormal growths that can appear on the skin. Anyone who has spent time in the sun or in tanning beds has a chance of developing skin cancer in their lifetime. However, skin cancer is usually very treatable when caught in the early stages. Contemporary Dermatology specializes in the detection and treatment of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers.
With an eye for detail and extensive training, Ongaro specializes in medical dermatology and the management of dermatologic conditions, including skin cancer.
Ongaro holds a Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions in Boston, and her experience includes clinical experience at Integrated Dermatology in Washington, D.C. and Dermatologic Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Ongaro is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) and the Society for Dermatology Physician Assistants (SDPA) in addition to Pi Alpha National Honor Society for Physician Assistants.
