“I had a very bad experience with another company several years ago, so was on edge about the procedure that needed to be done. Waters Edge staff is very kind and efficient. The facility is very clean. I didn’t feel as though I was just “a number”. I was very impressed with the exceptional care I received and observed others receiving. I highly recommend them.”

About Dr. Theodore (Ted) Schiff
Double board-certified in dermatology and dermatopathology, Dr. Ted Schiff specializes in the treatment of skin cancer. He is one of the few surgeons in our region who is fellowship trained to perform Mohs surgery, an innovative technique that offers individuals with skin cancer the best outcome with the least amount of tissue loss. Dr. Schiff is dedicated to treating skin problems of all kinds, including rashes, psoriasis, eczema, warts, moles, cysts, acne and aging skin, as well other skin conditions. As a dermatological surgeon, Dr. Schiff is highly experienced in treating spider and varicose veins. He performs laser procedures that remove unsightly birthmarks and age spots, as well as visible signs of aging skin, such as damage from the sun.
Dr. Schiff grew up on Long Island, New York, and attended Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa. He earned a medical degree from New York University School of Medicine, graduating with honors. After his residency in dermatology at New York University Hospital, Dr. Schiff practiced medicine at Bellevue Medical Center and the New York VA Hospital.
Dr. Schiff began his medical career on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, where he was the only dermatologist on the island for 18 months. Pursuing his goal of developing the highest skills possible for treating patients, Dr. Schiff left Hawaii to develop a second medical specialization at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, where he completed a year-long fellowship at the Institute for Dermatopathology. There, he studied under the most widely recognized dermatopathologist in the world: Dr. Bernard Ackerman. This advanced training enables Dr. Schiff to diagnose medical problems on a far more sophisticated level than the average dermatologist.
To advance his knowledge even further, Dr. Schiff completed a one-year fellowship in dermatologic surgery and laser surgery at the prestigious Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin.
