Center for Melanoma, Skin and Soft Tissue Tumors

Dr. O’Day is tirelessly dedicated to his melanoma patients and fights for them every day. He relentlessly battles with this extraordinarily difficult disease, to treat patients with cutting edge research that he and his staff perform.

Dr. Essner is the best Melanoma Doctor on the west coast and easily one of the top in the country. He is on top of all of the latest treatments and procedures.

I saw Dr. Fischer for removal of a melanoma. I have never met a more compassionate and kind physician. He explained the disease and the surgical procedure, answering all of my questions. I can’t thank him enough!

Dr. Foshag saved my husband’s life. He treated him for metastatic melanoma. Stage 4 melanoma is terrifying, but Dr. Foshag took on the role of “quarterback” and my husband has been in remission for years. He cares about all of his patients.

I have been going to Dr. O’Day for over 13 years. He is caring, professional, and overall the best oncologist you will find. I fly in from another state just to see Dr. O’Day.

I saw Dr. Essner about removing a large malignant melanoma along with sentinel lymph nodes to check to see if my cancer had spread as it was shedding cells in the biopsy. I would recommend Dr. Essner to anyone who has skin cancer and requires surgery, he is a great doctor, doing a brilliant job!

I have been a patient of Dr. Foshag for 6 years. He is the best! He is an excellent doctor and a kind, caring, friendly and wonderful person.  

Dr. O’Day is very caring and compassionate. You will not find better!

Dr. Essner is a great doctor. I really appreciated him calling me back regarding my melanoma skin cancer. So many doctors have their assistance make phone calls. It’s so nice to have a compassionate and down to earth doctor that I can address my concerns to.

I was treated by Dr. Fischer for a melanoma tumor on my leg and from the initial consultation, surgery and follow-up, I felt safe and secure knowing my health was in good hands. Dr. Fischer is very open to questions and is very adept at explaining everything in layman’s terms which helped ease any concerns I had.
