Clinic offering free service for cancer patients

Associated Dermatology Advanced Laser Clinic has volunteered in the New Beginnings: Radiation Mark Removal Program, a national philanthropic campaign, coordinated by the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery Inc., offering free radiation mark removal for cancer patients.

“We are thrilled to offer this program to the Helena community and surrounding areas,” said Dr. Jeffry Goldes, board certified in dermatology, dermatopathology and anatomic pathology. Goldes has been serving the Helena community since 1990.

The clinic has joined over 120 board certified ASLMS members who have volunteered to remove radiation marks (aka. tattoos) free for cancer survivors so that they can have the new beginning they deserve. The number of ASLMS members enrolling in the program is growing by the day.

“The ASLMS membership includes very generous and caring medical professionals, just like Associated Dermatology Advanced Laser Clinic, who believe they can make a difference in the lives of cancer patients across the U.S. through their time and expertise,” said Dr. Jeffrey S. Dover, FRCPC, past president of the ASLMS.

Physicians at Associated are board certified and ASLMS members in good standing to ensure that patients receive the very best treatment.

Patients who wish to use this offering should contact Associated Dermatology Advanced Laser Clinic to schedule a consultation. Patients must provide an official letter from their oncologist or radiologist approving the removal of any radiation marks or tattoos.

This free service is open to all cancer patients and is not limited to breast cancer or lymphoma survivors. The program will be offered year-round.
