Skin Tags, Moles, Seborrheic Keratosis (SK)
If you have bothersome or unsightly moles or other benign growths on the face and body they may be worth removing.
If you’re interested in removal, many procedures and techniques are available. Moles, SKs and skin tags are frozen, cauterized, or snipped. All these procedures can usually be performed on an outpatient basis. Healing and recovery times vary for each procedure, but they’re relatively quick. The cost of treatment varies depending on the size and depth of the growth, as well as the number of growths to be removed.

Skin tags are part of my family heritage. I am constantly monitoring the tags on my face and back for abnormality and growth. Recently I wanted to remove few of these tags which were getting bigger and came to see Dr. Tuerk, and It was one of the best Kaiser visits I have had in years. Dr. Tuerk made me feel like I was part of the process of treatment. She took her time and explained to me the options available to remove the tags and the pros and cons with each option for every skin tone. I have a brown complexion and I learned not all treatment will produce same result. I came out of this visit feeling informed and fully satisfied with the service.
P.S. My brother and my mother in-law are coming to see you.

As Dr. Ngoc Pham reminds me, I get far too much sun exposure for my skin’s good. Thank goodness, I have her knowledge and expertise as a wonderful provider of services for my skin care needs. As Head of Dermatology at the KP -Santa Clara, Dr. Pham also makes herself available to patients at the KP Cosmetic Services Dept. (San Jose). Her friendly demeanor and professionalism make each visit as successful and pleasant as can be. Her thorough exams frequently involve removal of both benign and pre-cancerous lesions and moles from my face, head and torso. She always presents a variety of options, recommending those which are least invasive and most cost-effective. Meeting my individual needs is always her top priority…she’s been great. I heartily recommend Dr. Pham to anyone needing the best in skin care.

I had some moles removed that were annoying to me – the person who worked on me did an excellent job. I had no problems after the procedure and am very satisfied. I would return again.

A few months ago, I came into your facility and saw Lynn Sheredy, RN., to remove some tags and bumps I had on my upper chest and neck. I was also concerned about a growth on my outer right ear. Lynn did an excellent job in getting the tags and bumps removed. She ended up burning off a cancerous lesion on my ear. Upon her suggestion, I followed up with my primary doctor. He said she did a good job.
If I need to return to the KP Cosmetic Services, I will seek out Lynn again.
