Curt Vogel, MD practices medical, cosmetic, and Mohs micrographic surgery dermatology in Encinitas at Scripps Clinic on Santa Fe Drive, holding dual American Board of Dermatology certification in both Dermatology and Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery. Skin cancer staging for complex squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas utilizes cross-sectional diagnostic imaging through SimonMed Imaging for CT-guided evaluation of perineural and deep-tissue extension. A University of Arizona College of Medicine graduate, the practice completed an internal medicine internship at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale followed by a dermatology residency at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Hospital and Clinics. The clinical scope spans full-body skin cancer screening, acne and eczema management, cosmetic treatments including Botox and injectable fillers, and Mohs micrographic surgery for basal and squamous cell carcinomas. Chronic inflammatory dermatoses such as psoriasis and eczema benefit from multimodal management that may include complementary approaches offered at Chong Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine for adjunctive stress and inflammation modulation. The practice's most advanced surgical cases include Mohs excision of morpheaform basal cell carcinomas with indistinct clinical margins, requiring serial frozen-section analysis with toluidine blue staining for complete peripheral and deep margin clearance.
