Skin and Cancer Associates

What Skin and Cancer Associates does

Skin and Cancer Associates (SCA) is a private dermatology group practice headquartered in Hallandale, Florida, providing medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology services across more than 30 Florida locations. Founded in 1971 by David M. Sharaf, the practice employs approximately 80 board-certified dermatologists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants serving the general patient population from Jacksonville to Miami. Operations span three integrated service lines — Medical Dermatology (preventative, diagnostic, and corrective care under the Healthy Skin for Life™ program), Surgical Dermatology (board-certified surgical treatment of skin disorders), and Cosmetic Dermatology (aesthetic procedures operated under The Center for Cosmetic Enhancement sub-brand).

The business operates as a fee-for-service professional services practice, with revenue generated from per-visit consultations, surgical procedures, and cash-pay cosmetic treatments. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer via the practice website, online booking, Google Maps visibility, and referral/word-of-mouth within Florida. The practice operates 21+ physical office locations across at least 14 Florida cities including Aventura, Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Delray Beach, Hollywood, Jacksonville, Jupiter, Margate, Miami, Miami Beach, Plantation, Tamarac, Wellington, and Weston.

SCA received an investment from Susquehanna Private Capital on April 25, 2018, marking the entry of institutional capital into what was historically a physician-owned group. The practice has extended its commercial footprint beyond in-office services through a partnership with bestderm.com for retail skincare sales. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; patients are directed to book consultations for treatment-specific quotes, which preserves flexibility across insurance-reimbursed medical services and cash-pay cosmetic work.
