    sd0021"I am a big advocate of patient education. I feel that by educating our patients, we can help save their lives and their family and friend’s lives as well. Skin cancer is a serious thing and it affects all of us. The more we know about skin cancer the more lives we can save. I love being able to remove cancers and leave great results for each of my patients."

    Dr. Saini’s extensive training includes George Washington University, Georgetown University Medical School and an internship in General Surgery at Washington Hospital Center. He then served for our Nation’s Air Force as a General Medicine Officer. Soon thereafter, he was promoted to Chief of Aerospace Medicine at the U.S. Air Force Clinic in Los Angeles. It was here that he was directly involved in the healthcare of manned space flight engineers and astronauts.
