In Observance of Melanoma Awareness Month and arranged in coordination with the Watson Clinic Foundation, two locations will host special events in May featuring free skin examinations.

Our Watson Clinic Dermatology at Sun City Center location will offer free exams on Friday, May 5 and Friday, May 12 from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. These evaluations will be performed by Michelle Gordon, ARNP-C, an expert skin care specialist who works alongside board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ronald J. Patrick.

Meanwhile, dermatology specialists Dr. Linwood Bond, Dr. Luke Miller, and Jason Kumlien, PA-C – will provide free skin screenings on Saturday, May 13 from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm at Watson Clinic South.

Thorough skin screenings are essential in detecting possible cancers at their earliest stages, and are particularly valuable for residents of our sun-drenched state.

If areas of concern are detected during the exam, patients will benefit from a swift, no-hassle follow-up appointment.

The Sun City Center event will be conducted on a first come, first served basis, while the event at our South location requires an appointment.
