Medical Expertise of Dr. Earl Pearson, MD

Dr. Pearson specializes in General and Surgical Dermatology with emphasis on skin cancer treatment.

About Dr. Earl Pearson, MD

Earl Pearson MD, is a board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon providing care to patients in the Visalia area at Lux Dermatology.

Dr. Pearson practices what he calls “Medically Necessary Dermatology", as he doesn't perform any cosmetic or medically unnecessary surgery.

Dr. Pearson no longer does Mohs skin cancer surgeries and refers all these cases to Dr. Leposavic. Dr. Pearson still sees many skin cancer patients in the Central Valley and feels that General Dermatology is in great demand. Dr. Pearson retired earlier this year, but the shortage of qualified Dermatologists in the area convinced him to return at least on a part-time basis.
