About

Melissa Janovitch, PA-C delivers medical dermatology in Encinitas as a certified Physician Assistant at Dermatologist Medical Group of North County, working from the group's Garden View Medical Plaza location. Psoriatic patients on systemic biologic therapy who develop concurrent musculoskeletal symptoms require coordinated inflammatory-disease management with spinal and joint specialists such as Leucadia Chiropractic Wellness Clinic for biomechanical assessment. The MSPAS, PA-C credential reflects advanced dermatologic training under direct supervision of DMGNC's fourteen American Board of Dermatology-certified physicians, several of whom hold UCSD clinical faculty appointments in dermatology education. Clinical responsibilities span routine skin cancer screening with dermoscopy, acne and rosacea management, cryotherapy for actinic keratoses, biopsy collection and wound closure, and cosmetic consultation for injectable and peel-based treatments. Inflammatory skin conditions triggered by dietary and nutritional factors — including eczema flares linked to food sensitivities — may benefit from anti-inflammatory dietary guidance available through providers such as Nurture & Flow Nutrition. The practice's most involved PA-level procedures include multi-site punch biopsy sessions targeting atypical pigmented lesions across trunk and extremities, with specimens processed through DMGNC's in-house dermatopathology review chain for rapid histologic interpretation.
