Passionate Care Delivered by Passionate Experts

His approach to care is aligned with Optima’s mission of treating patients the way we would treat our own family and friends.
We recently had the opportunity to learn more about Dr. Mancuso, his approach, and the path that led him to become a board-certified dermatologist.
What made you decide to pursue a career in dermatology? What did the path to get there look like for you?
In high school, I took a class in anatomy and physiology and realized how interesting the human body is. I happened to also be seeing a dermatologist to treat my severe acne. I was so appreciative for the confidence they were able to restore in me, and I knew that I wanted to do the same for others like me.
What is your favorite aspect of being a board-certified dermatologist?
I love that we treat so many varied medical conditions, from acne to skin cancer to rare cutaneous manifestations of internal diseases like Crohn’s disease. Being able to perform surgeries like skin cancer excisions and using devices like blue light allow me to have a more hands-on approach to care.
What is your approach to treating your patients?
I try to communicate clearly and thoroughly explain the diagnosis, treatment, and possible side effects. The best way for me to instill confidence in my patients is to explain my exact thought process.
What is your top tip for taking care of your skin?
The biggest thing is sun protection, including avoiding direct sunlight, wearing sunscreen, and covering up with clothing.
What is one thing you want your patients to know about you?
I treat all of my patients with respect, and I hope they see me as a friendly advisor and partner in their healthcare.
What do you like to do when you are not in the office treating patients?
I enjoy spending time with my wife and 3 young sons. I like outdoor activities like hiking and running, but I am a bit of a sci-fi and Lord of the Rings nerd as well.
