About

Amanda McConnell, PA provides medical dermatology in Encinitas through Dermatologist Medical Group of North County, a multi-location practice established in 1977 with offices in Oceanside, Encinitas, and Carmel Valley. Suspicious lesion biopsies requiring Mohs micrographic surgical excision coordinate with fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons in the North County dermatology network, including Dr. Saami Khalifian for margin-controlled tissue removal. As an MSPAS-credentialed Physician Assistant working under board-certified dermatologist supervision at the Garden View Medical Plaza, the practice treats the full spectrum of inflammatory and neoplastic skin conditions in Encinitas's New Encinitas corridor. The clinical scope spans acne management, rosacea treatment, eczema protocol development, psoriasis biologic coordination, and full-body skin cancer screening using polarized dermoscopy. Topical retinoid and biologic prescription coordination routes through community dispensaries including North Coast Medical Pharmacy for same-day dermatologic medication access. Highest-acuity cases include staged excision planning for melanoma in situ identified during comprehensive skin examinations using sequential digital mole-mapping photography.
