Dr. Beth Goldstein is a dermatologist serving Sanford, Durham, and Chapel Hill, NC. She focuses on treating skin cancers and emphasizes providing patients with the best experience and outcome possible. With more than 21 years of dermatology experience, she has developed a focus on surgical dermatology, including Mohs surgery. It’s her passion to educate patients about not only the prevention of skin cancer but also its early detection when treatment is much more effective and less disfiguring. She also educates patients about avoiding further sun damage to their skin.

For many years Dr. Beth desired to learn more surgical skills and get training in Mohs surgery, one of the most effective techniques for treating skin cancers. Since 2008, she has been performing this technique in a quiet, comfortable setting.

While her focus is now primarily surgical, she is still involved in treating dermatology patients of all ages and diagnoses as a supervising physician. She also continues to perform cosmetic laser surgeries, chemical peels, fillers, and consult on other cosmetic procedures.
