Providence Dermatologic Surgery is pleased to offer patients the option of Mohs micrographic surgery - a highly effective method of removing skin cancer. This specialized surgery has the highest cure rate for certain types of skin cancer, including basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas.
Our physicians have completed fellowship training in Mohs micrographic surgery and are members of the American College of Mohs Surgery. In addition, they are certified by the American Board of Dermatology.
Dr. Allen appreciates the long-term relationships she establishes with her patients. “I learn something from my patients every day, whether it’s a new recipe, a local event, or how to be a better physician,” she says. She describes her philosophy of care as being a team approach, noting, “The patient needs to feel comfortable and understand the diagnosis and how we’ll fix it together.”
Dr. Allen is a board-certified dermatologist who earned her medical degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. She completed her dermatology residency and her fellowship in Mohs Micrographic Surgery at Saint Louis University in Missouri, the fellowship accredited by the American College of Mohs Surgery.
Having grown up on a farm outside of Lawrence, Kan., Dr. Allen is an avid outdoorswoman and animal lover. Away from the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Andrew, exploring Portland.

Making a difference in the lives of others every day is why I became a physician assistant,” says Jill Wellnitz. “I like to focus on the needs of the patient as a whole, not just the skin we’re treating.”
