General Practitioners

Warts
Arthritis
Cryotherapy
Dermatofibromas are harmless skin bumps and non-cancerous. However, as with any skin growth, they can become bothersome by catching on clothing or getting in the way during shaving. Sometimes, dermatofibromas can also become itchy and painful but they can be successfully removed with cryotherapy, cryosurgery, lasers, and excision. However, dermatofibromas can recur, thus removal is not always warranted if the lesion is not causing discomfort.

Internal Medicine
G. Luke Lewis is a transplanted Texan. He is board certified by The American Board of Dermatology and has been practicing in the Fort Smith area since 1995. He received his bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry from Southern Nazarene University in Bethany Oklahoma graduating with highest honors. He completed his medical training at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in 1987. Dr. Lewis then completed an internal medicine residency at Scott and White Hospital in Temple, Texas and obtained board certification in internal medicine. After his residency, he was a clinical research fellow in hematology at Scott and White and an instructor in internal medicine at the Texas A&M College of Medicine. His growing interest in dermatology led him to a clinical research position in infectious disease/dermatology in the Houston area affiliated with UTMB. He moved to Lubbock, Texas for his dermatology residency at Texas Tech Health Sciences Center where he also served as chief resident in dermatology. After completion of his residency, he moved to Fort Smith to join Dr. Bradford and Dr. Magness in the dermatology department at Cooper Clinic and subsequently practiced at Mercy Clinic. He has broad interests in medical and surgical dermatology with over 25 years experience treating skin disease in Fort Smith. Dr. Lewis maintains staff affiliation with Mercy Hospital.

Radiation Therapy

General Surgery
Wound Care
Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery is an improvement to standard surgery (local excision), which involves removing the visible cancer and a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue all at once. Mohs surgery allows surgeons to verify that all cancer cells have been removed at the time of surgery. This increases the chance of a cure and reduces the need for additional treatments or additional surgery. For more information on Mohs Surgery click here.
Reconstructive Surgery
Recovery time depends on the size of the skin cancer. While some wounds can heal by themselves, others may require sutures, a small skin graft or in some cases, reconstructive surgery. If any discomfort should occur following this treatment, it is usually very mild and can be treated with Tylenol. While minimal bleeding is common, you should seek immediate medical attention if you experience persistent, excessive bleeding. For more information, please click here.

Plastic Surgeons

Moles
We offer many different mole removal services. We can excise, or cut, your mole off without the need for stitches. If your mole is non-cancerous, there is no need to remove it other than aesthetic purposes. If your mole has an irregular border, asymmetry, multiple colors, or you notice it is growing in size, please make an appointment to have it evaluated. We will determine if it is cancerous and needs to be removed.

Skin Cancer
Melanoma is cancer of the cells in the skin that produce melanin, the pigment in your skin. This is considered the most severe type of skin cancer, but as long as it is caught early it can be removed with surgery. If the melanoma is small and thin, our providers will surgically remove the cancer and a border of surrounding skin as well as a layer of tissue under the skin – just to ensure all of the cancer is gone.

Eczema
Eczema is sometimes called atopic dermatitis. It is actually a group of skin conditions that can affect you at any age. It is not contagious, but can be uncomfortable because it makes the skin dry and itchy. In severe cases, it can even cause bleeding due to scratching. There are several types of eczema and each type requires different treatment methods. Eczema can occur because of irritation, allergic reaction or hereditary conditions. The most common variety is atopic eczema, which can be treated with topical steroids to reduce inflammation and emollient creams to relieve the itchiness and dryness. While there is no cure for eczema, many people grow out of it. In addition, using the proper medications and staying clear of substances that cause eczema to flare up can greatly reduce your discomfort and can lessen the severity of the condition. Only your dermatology provider can correctly diagnose and analyze your condition. It is important to consult with your physician to make sure that you receive the most effective and efficient treatment possible.

Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic disorder that creates itchy, red plaques on the skin. These areas form multi-layered “scales” that vary in severity. Psoriasis can occur at any age in both males and females. It is not contagious, though there does seem to be a hereditary connection. It is not a life-threatening condition, and in most cases, people who have mild symptoms may not even know that they have psoriasis. There are known associations between psoriasis and arthritis, and more recently heart disease. Cuts, scratches, infections and dry skin seem to cause flare-ups. In addition, lack of sun exposure and certain medications may cause psoriasis to flare up. Often, psoriasis affects the same area repeatedly. Elbows, arms, knees and legs are commonly afflicted areas.
