Skin Cancer Clinic of
Seattle/Bellevue/Issaquah/Poulsbo/Burien
is closing effective August 31, 2023.
Frontier Dermatology Partners (FDP)/Silver Falls Dermatology will become the custodian of your medical records after August 31st. A transition of medical records takes several weeks, so they recommend that you wait until November 1st to reach out to them with any records requests.

This is the quickest way for you to obtain your medical records, and you can access them through this portal without having to sign an additional release of information.
You can access your patient portal using the link:

Your username is: 1st initial/last name/birth year ex. JSmith45
Your temp password is: ema/your 5 digit billing acct number ex. ema27530
If you need to create a new login profile, you can contact the medical records division of Frontier Dermatology Partners at 866-599-3376 who can help set that up.
When records become available after November 1st, please note you must complete a Release of Information form through FDP; they cannot accept an old release from Dr. Fader’s practice. The Release of Information form can be found on their website:

It's about youDr. Darrell Fader - Mohs Surgeon Skin cancer specialist - In Private Practice Since 2001
"We take patient care personally."
Thank you for choosing the Skin Cancer Center to assist you with your health care needs.
Dr. Fader performs Mohs microscopic surgery, a skin cancer removal technique which uses microscopy to remove only the cancerous tissue, leaving healthy tissue intact and unharmed. This precise method minimizes the chance of cancer re-growth, and lessens the likelihood of scarring or disfigurement.
This specialized surgery has the distinction of providing the highest skin cancer cure rates, even if other forms of treatment have failed, with often excellent aesthetic and functional results.
