Dr. Robert E. Bushman, MD leads Grossmont Dermatology Medical Clinic in La Mesa near Sharp Grossmont Hospital, holding double board certification in dermatology and dermatopathology from the American Board of Dermatology. The practice's in-house biopsy interpretation capability eliminates third-party pathology delays for mole and skin-cancer excision, a diagnostic-to-treatment pipeline that complements the surgical hair-loss interventions at La Mesa Medical Hair Restoration on the Grossmont medical corridor. A University of Southern California School of Medicine graduate since 1973, the clinic treats conditions ranging from psoriasis and eczema to complex melanoma excision and Mohs micrographic surgery. Custom compounded dermatological preparations — including topical retinoid and corticosteroid formulations — route through independent pharmacies on the corridor such as Medical Arts Pharmacy. Advanced aesthetic services include erbium laser resurfacing, Thermage radiofrequency skin tightening, Restylane and Radiesse injectable filler placement, and medium-depth trichloroacetic acid chemical peeling for photodamage correction.
