<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cOftentimes, some patients may want a quick fix \u2014 a cream, a minor surgical procedure, or superficial radiation treatments \u2014- but these, unfortunately, do not quite get rid of the cancer completely and can lead to recurrences down the road,\u201d Mudigonda said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mudigonda also renders a varicose vein clinic, providing medical and cosmetic treatments for lower leg veins. Treatments entail short, minimally invasive procedures, moving away from traditional, more invasive methods requiring surgical vein stripping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The popular side of dermatology in the media rings to the name of cosmetic dermatology, keying on noninvasive approaches to augment patients\u2019 beauty. These may involve skin care regimens<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or more minimally invasive treatments, such as neuromodulators and Botox. Mudigonda\u2019s practice offers this, but goes a step further. He developed what he describes as a state-of-the-art surgical center to execute aesthetic surgery procedures such as eye bag removal, face lifts, and liposuction. He believes cosmetic procedures are the best long-term answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dermatologist retains excitement for his field\u2019s future, sharing he sees artificial intelligence greatly supplementing \u2014 but not replacing \u2014 how conditions are diagnosed and new real-time imaging modalities assisting with real-time decisions in Mohs surgery, leading to more definitive and shorter procedures. He adds that professionals today are also better understanding specific pathways for certain dermatologic conditions \u2014 such as itches and hives \u2014 and witnessing new medications targeting specific mediators and pathways for traditionally difficult-to-treat conditions. In other words, the future shines bright for dermatology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Throughout his career, the 37-year-old worked at hospitals with colleagues to assist him with the administration and management side of things. But possessing his own practice proved to be a whole different ball game with his current two medical assistant staff members \u2014 Nikki and Mandy \u2014 both bringing years of experience in dermatology and plastic surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe things I used to have and may have taken for granted has now fallen on my shoulders, but it is something I actually embrace because I feel I can do it well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The dermatologist would tell anyone that he is no superhuman. Just like any successful person, Mudigonda required assistance to achieve his goals. This came in many forms. But support came especially from his parents, who became \u201csemi-employees\u201d during the initial few months of starting his business. His dad served as the handyman, and his parents helped to situate the rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs challenging as it was, I\u2019m glad I had such supportive parents with complementary skills and saw the vision along with me.\u201d Some people feel it \u2014 an unceasing itch, swollen surfaces, or skin cancer. Others see it \u2014 the drooping jaw, the invasion of acne, or the ever\u2013coming wrinkles. These symptoms and more often rush patients to see a dermatologist, aka the skin expert.

With their help, he opened the institute\u2019s doors in August 2024 in a town he views as traditional, where everyone knows everyone in a growing and part-medically-focused community \u2014 the perfect place to settle and start his business.
