Welcome to Newport Skin Cancer
“It’s so pleasant here, it almost makes you want to lay out in the sun.”
– Patient
This quote captures the unexpected charm of our practice, and we are tickled by our patient’s response to her care with us. We just had to share it with you. Please take a moment to watch this video as an introduction to Dr. Rotunda and your experience with us.
Your skin is more than just your body’s outer layer – it plays a vital role in your overall health and well-being. Regardless of age, lifestyle, or occupation, everyone deserves healthy, protected skin. With skin cancer on the rise, the best defense is regular annual skin checks with a dermatologist and taking proactive steps to avoid sunburns, which not only cause premature aging but also increase the risk of skin cancer.
At Newport Skin Cancer, our mission is simple: to treat your skin cancer and restore you back to health with compassion and expertise.
The relationship between a doctor and patient in the fight against cancer is unique – it’s built on trust, respect, and an unwavering commitment to your well-being. Your treatment will never be rushed, and your care will always be delivered with skill, compassion, and attention to detail.
Dealing with skin cancer can feel overwhelming, but you are not alone. We are here to guide you every step of the way forward.
Dr Rotunda co-invents new treatment called KybellaTM
An Injection that reduces fat – hailed as the ‘next Botox’
KybellaTM is the first non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment approved by the FDA to eliminate submental fat, otherwise known as neck fat, or the dreaded ‘double-chin’. Dr Rotunda co-invented deoxycholic acid as a treatment for fat reduction during his UCLA dermatology residency and now, over 10 years later, after rigorous testing in FDA clinical trials, it is known as KybellaTM, a safe and effective treatment for patients in North America. As a pioneer of this treatment, Dr. Rotunda has unparalleled depth of knowledge and experience with this medication.

Your Trusted Team in Skin Cancer Care
“Trust is the foundation of any relationship; nowhere is this truer than between a doctor and a patient.”
– Patient
We are honored to be entrusted with your care. Many of our patients come to us through referrals from their dermatologist, primary care physician, plastic surgeon, oncologist, family member or friend, a reflection of the trust and confidence within the medical community and by our patients in our training and experience.
At our practice, we focus on delivering the most effective and least invasive treatments available, tailored to your individual needs. Mohs Micrographic Surgery – a technique we specialize in – allows us to evaluate and remove cancerous tissue in real time, ensuring we achieve the best possible outcome the first time. This precise method minimizes unnecessary removal of healthy skin, reducing scarring and improving healing. If cancer recurs, Mohs surgery remains one of the most comprehensive treatment options available, far surpassing traditional methods like radiation, topical creams, scraping, burning, or conventional excision.
Expertise Rooted in Compassion
“The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease.”
– William Osler
With over 10 years of advanced study beyond college, extensive research, and a deep commitment to patient care, Dr. Rotunda and his dedicated team place your skin surgery, with a focus on attention to detail and your experience as a patient, at the heart of everything we do.
