Welcome to Our FacilityComfort Without Compromise

"To care for the patient, you must first care about the patient." - Sir William Osler

At Newport Skin Cancer, we believe in treating our patients the way we would want to be treated - with kindness, compassion, and exceptional care. From the moment you step through our doors, our goal is to create an environment where healing begins the moment you arrive. Our guiding philosophy - Available, Affable, Able - shapes everything we do, ensuring that you feel supported and confident throughout your care.

Through the artistic vision of photographer Peter Lik, and designer Tiffany Nelson, our practice is designed to feel calm and welcoming-far from the cold, clinical atmosphere of traditional medical offices. At the same time, we uphold the highest standards of medical and surgical excellence. Below are some of the features that make your experience with us unique.

Private Patient Suites

Patient Suites

"The right to be let alone is indeed the beginning of all freedom." - William O. Douglas

We understand that Mohs surgery may involve multiple stages, and waiting in a standard medical office can be exhausting. That's why we've designed private patient suites, thoughtfully created by Newport Beach architect Jim Bickel in collaboration with Dr. Rotunda. Here, you and a loved one can rest comfortably between stages of your procedure. Each suite provides a peaceful space where you can listen to music, watch television, read, work, browse the internet, or simply relax with coffee, tea, and a snack or two (or three!). We even feature our exclusive, MohsMuchiesT menu!

Comfort-Focused Examination Chairs

Your comfort is always our priority. After extensive research (yes sitting in numerous of chairs!), Dr. Rotunda selected ultra-soft, ergonomically designed chairs that provide gentle support for your back and neck- making longer periods of rest during surgery much more comfortable. These DentalEz chairs, specifically designed for facial procedures, offer the ideal balance of relaxation and accessibility.

Music

"Without music, life would be a mistake." - Nietzsche

We know that a calming atmosphere plays a big role in your overall experience. To help you feel at ease, Dr. Rotunda partnered has created a soft relaxing musical environment. Whether you prefer soft old-time melodies, upbeat tunes, or spa meditation music, or even simply quiet, we offer a sound to suit the environment.

Healing Through Art

"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home." - Tharp

Medical settings can often feel intimidating, but we believe that beauty and nature can help ease anxiety. That's why Dr. Rotunda partnered with world-renowned landscape photographer Peter Lik to bring stunning nature photography into our practice. These carefully curated images help transform our space into a more soothing, welcoming environment-offering a sense of peace as you go through your treatment.

At Newport Skin Cancer, every detail is thoughtfully designed with your comfort and care in mind. We are here to support you every step of the way, providing exceptional medical expertise in a setting that feels warm, welcoming, and reassuring.

On Site CLIA Certified Mohs Laboratory

On-Site CLIA-Certified* Mohs Laboratory

Precision is at the heart of what we do. Our facility includes a dedicated CLIA-certified laboratory, where Mohs surgical specimens are processed and evaluated with the highest level of accuracy. Under the leadership of Dr. Rotunda, our Laboratory Director, and supported by a skilled full-time Mohs technician, our in-house lab ensures that Dr. Rotunda has immediate access to high-quality specimen processing-helping to provide the best possible outcomes for our patients.

*CLIA stands for Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments

CLIA regulations, established in 1988 by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), set quality standards for all laboratory testing performed on human specimens to ensure accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of patient test results. These standards apply to hospital labs, physician office labs, and independent clinical laboratories.

For Mohs surgeons, a CLIA-certified laboratory is essential for processing and examining tissue samples during Mohs surgery, ensuring precise cancer removal while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
