Our approach
Every patient deserves to understand their choices.
Some skin cancers need surgery. Some are right for Mohs. Some patients may qualify for a non-surgical approach. Many patients are never told that last part. At Juniper, dermatologist-led decision-making means you hear every appropriate option — then choose with confidence. It often starts with a routine mole or lesion check within our broader medical dermatology care.
✓ Board-certified dermatologist-led evaluation
✓ Surgery & procedural dermatology
✓ Mohs surgery clearly labeled as coming soon
✓ GentleCure® in Bend for selected nonmelanoma skin cancers
✓ Experienced radiation therapist on the SRT care team

Conditions we treat
Treatment begins with the exact type and risk level.
A biopsy and pathology report guide the plan. Treatment is not interchangeable across basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC)
The most common skin cancer. Treatment depends on its subtype, size, depth, location, prior treatment, and other risk features.
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
A common skin cancer that can behave more aggressively in some patients. Prompt diagnosis and risk-based treatment matter.
Melanoma
Melanoma requires surgical treatment. Deeper or advanced melanoma may also require staging and coordinated oncology care.
Surgical treatment
Surgical excision for appropriate skin cancers.
Surgical excision removes the diagnosed cancer with a planned margin of surrounding skin. The tissue is evaluated by pathology, and follow-up is based on the diagnosis, margins, location, and recurrence risk. Melanoma is treated surgically; selected basal and squamous cell cancers may have more than one appropriate option.
Mohs surgery status
Coming soon to Juniper
Mohs surgery is not currently bookable at Juniper. It can be especially useful for certain high-risk, recurrent, poorly defined, or cosmetically sensitive skin cancers. We will update this page when our Mohs service is available.
Care that feels personal
Neighbors treating neighbors.
Behind every skin cancer diagnosis is a person — often a parent, a grandparent, a lifelong Central Oregonian who has spent decades in the sun. We treat each one the way we would treat our own family: with patience, honesty, and a hand on the shoulder.
From the first skin check to the last follow-up, you are cared for by a team that knows your name — not a number in a queue at a distant clinic.
GentleCure® / Image-Guided SRT
No surgery. No surgical scar. No surgical downtime — for the right patient.
Many patients don’t know a non-surgical treatment even exists. GentleCure® uses image-guided superficial radiotherapy to treat select non-melanoma skin cancers — and Juniper has a dedicated radiation therapist on the care team to support it. Treatment is currently delivered at our Bend office; patients may begin their skin-cancer evaluation in Bend or Redmond.
✓ Non-surgical option for select basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers
✓ Uses image guidance to precisely target treatment
✓ Especially appealing for cosmetically sensitive areas like the face
✓ 99.3% cure rate for early-stage cases in published study*
