Douglas Atmatzidis, MD is a fellowship-trained, board-certified Mohs surgeon born and raised in New Jersey. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia and then graduated at the top of his class from Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.

He subsequently completed a competitive fellowship in Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology where he received advanced training in Mohs micrographic surgery and complex reconstructive surgery.

Dr. Atmatzidis believes in a collaborative approach to bring about optimal outcomes, which involves shared decision-making to tailor care to patients’ individual needs and goals.
