What Full Body Skin Checks Are
A full body skin check is a thorough medical examination of your skin from head to toe, performed by a trained doctor in a private consultation room.
The process is calm, respectful, and always designed around your comfort and choices.
At Mooney Street Medical, the patient is in complete control, and we only check areas that you are comfortable with, typically those that are exposed to the sun, and/or have spots or moles.
