High Blood Pressure

Here at Gail Zimmerman, MD, we are proud to provide services to best identify and address this issue in our patients. We can help you make the necessary lifestyle changes and prescribe medication to aid in the management of your condition and prevent stroke, heart attack, or other health complications.

Skin Cancer
There are three major types of skin cancer: basal cell cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Each of these skin cancers is primarily caused by too much exposure to the sun, but genetics may also play a role in increasing your risk for skin cancer.
- Creams: If caught early enough, certain skin cancers can be treated with medicated creams and ointments that can be applied at home or in our office.
- Excision: Excisions cut out the tumor and affected area to make sure the cancer is entirely removed from your body. This procedure can be done in our office with the use of numbing cream or local anesthetic.
- Cryosurgery: This procedure is similar to wart removal where we apply liquid nitrogen to the affected area to freeze the tissue, causing the cancer cells to die.
- Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is used to destroy cancer cells and can be administered either through intravenous therapy (IV) or in oral pill form.
- Radiation therapy: Uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells or shrink the size of tumors.
- Targeted therapy: Medication that targets and kills the cancer’s genes, proteins, and the tissues that contribute to cancer’s growth.
The earlier you detect skin diseases or potential skin cancers, the more treatment options and higher success rates you will have. For more information on melanomas or to request an appointment, please don’t hesitate to contact us today at (732) 899-9440.

2nd Opinions
Sometimes an initial visit to your doctor can leave you with more questions than answers, and you may be curious to know if your doctor’s recommended treatment is the right one for you. At Gail Zimmerman, MD, we are happy to provide second opinion appointments to patients seeking more confidence in their diagnosis and treatment options.
When seeking a second opinion, you shouldn’t worry about offending your doctor. In fact, most doctors welcome input from other medical professionals. Your overall wellbeing and the ultimate success of treatment is always the goal for a reputable medical professional, so having opinions from more than one qualified source can never hurt when you are trying to make an informed decision.
Be sure to request any lab work results, diagnostics, medical records, x-rays, and MRI images from your current doctor before making an appointment so that we can best assist you in providing a thorough second opinion.
We welcome new patients and are always looking to improve the lives of those in our community. If you have questions about your current medical care, or would like to schedule an appointment for a second opinion, contact our office today at (732) 899-9440.
