General Dermatology
At Southwest Skin & Cancer we specialize in health issues affecting the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. The skin is the first line of defense against pathogens and injury, and it can be a good indicator of overall health, which is why it is important to make sure your skin is in good healthy condition. If you are concerned about an area of your skin, we specialize in skin cancer and perform many surgeries including Mohs surgery. We can also help with acne, psoriasis, skin rashes, skin infections, warts and many more skin issues. Our highly trained physicians can teach you how to protect yourself from the sun to avoid skin cancer, give you tips to prevent hair loss, and teach you how to take care of your nails to prevent common conditions. In addition to giving you ways to prevent conditions, if an issue is already present, we can discuss in detail the options you have to get your skin and body healthy again.

Definitely recommend to all family and friends! They have personally helped me mainly with cosmetics (acne, laser hair removal, etc) and have been wonderful to work with. The staff is caring and listens well to my concerns and needs. The doctors and PA’s are great as well! Helped many family members whether removing warts, skin cancers, or rashes. I definitely would recommend Dr Austin Smith who’s a very sociable, personable guy, or Tim Nowatzke (PA) for anyone looking for a time efficient appointment.
I can’t say enough about SW Skin & Cancer’s front office that made me feel important just checking in for my appointment. They were very professional and the checkin was easy. I really appreciated that they were personable, friendly and enjoyed their jobs. Next, my appointment was with PA, Tim Nowatzke. His MA, Faith, escorted me to my room. She was also very professional taking my history (why I was there) and was very knowledgable and pleasant to talk to as well. Mr. Nowatzke was right on time and within a couple of minutes, he knew what condition my condition was in. Properly diagnosed it and started my treatment plan.
I felt right at ease from the minute I entered SW Skin & Cancer and left reassured I was going to get better. I highly recommend this clinic for their professionalism, knowledge and expertise. Definitely a 5 Star experience.
I’ve been a patient here for almost 30 years, starting with Dr. Smith when I was a teenager. I’ve always received exceptional care—from the front desk to the nurses and doctors. They truly have a great team.
Most of my care over the years has been with Dr. Nowatzke, and he’s fantastic. He has a great bedside manner and is especially good with kids and teens. He’s treated my children as well, and he’s definitely their favorite doctor.
More recently, I saw Dr. Pace, and he was just as great. I highly recommend him too.
If I could give more than five stars, I would!
I’ve been going to Southwest Skin and Cancer for monthly laser hair removal treatments with Olivia for the past year, and the results have been amazing! The treatments have been extremely effective, and I’ve noticed a huge difference. Olivia is knowledgeable, professional, and always makes me feel comfortable during every visit. The entire staff at the clinic is friendly and welcoming as well. I highly recommend Olivia and Southwest Skin and Cancer to anyone considering laser treatments!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. This isn’t just a dermatologist’s office, it’s a place where you feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. From the moment I walk in, I’m greeted with warmth and kindness. The team is compassionate, professional, and incredibly attentive.
I’ve never once felt like “just another patient.” They take their time, explain everything clearly, and go above and beyond!
Dr. Tim and the whole staff make this office feel like a safe space. I always leave feeling better, not just physically, but emotionally too. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. If you’re looking for the BEST dermatologist, look no further. This place is it!
Darin Smith is phenomenal! He strikes the perfect balance of enthusiasm and genuine care for the patient, while also using the best research to medically treat the concern at hand. Some healthcare professionals are good at making people feel better during visits, but fail to really treat health concerns in the long-run. Others are good at treating the health concerns, but have low interpersonal skills, making it difficult to work with them. Darin Smith is one of the very, very few professionals who are so good at both! He is a highly competent medical professional AND highly skilled at communicating and working with people. 10/10 would recommend. You may find some people as good as Darin Smith, but not better. He is among the very best.
I have gone to Southwest Skin and Cancer twice now. The first time, a few years ago was nothing to worry about but they froze it off anyway for aesthetics. This time, they were able to get me in quickly and as before, they were very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Turns out the mark on my face was precancerous, he froze it off and checked me over for other concerns. Both times were under $100 cash pay. Money well spent! I would send my family there!
