Meet Dr. Sydney Proffer
Specializes in carefully removing skin cancer and restoring the natural look of the face with advanced reconstruction techniques.
Dr. Proffer is a double board-certified dermatologist, having completed rigorous dual fellowships in Mohs Micrographic Surgery, Cutaneous Oncology, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and Cosmetic Surgery at Northwestern University under the tutelage of Dr. Murad Alam, MD, MBA, MSCI. These fellowships were directed by a world-renowned authority in dermatology, leading researcher of high-quality Mohs surgery, and American Academy of Dermatology president, and are one of only four dual Mohs micrographic surgery and ASDS cosmetics fellowships available in the United States. As a result, she is one of only a handful of Mohs surgeons in the world with dedicated specialized training in Mohs, cosmetics, and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, allowing her to provide the best possible functional and aesthetic reconstructive results. In addition to expert medical and pediatric dermatologic care, she combines her surgical skill with an eye for aesthetics. With her experience, patients can feel confident knowing their treatment is designed to minimize scarring and protect as much healthy tissue as possible. People appreciate her thoughtful, precise approach and trust her to provide both effective results and genuine care.
“Our mission is to provide skilled, thoughtful dermatologic care with a strong foundation in surgical precision. We’re dedicated to keeping patients safe, informed, and confident in every step of their treatment. With a special focus on skin cancer care and reconstruction, we’re here to help patients heal and feel restored.”
