Dr. Deng brings a passion for excellence in patient care, resident education, and advancing skin cancer knowledge. Her clinical interest is in the management of skin cancers, including high-risk and rare skin cancers in the at-risk populations. As a fellowship-trained Mohs micrographic surgeon, Dr. Deng performs microscopically-guided surgery for the treatment of skin cancer, which offers patients the highest cure rate possible (up to 99%), while minimizing the removal of normal skin. She is part of the Georgetown University Hospital cutaneous oncology tumor board, where she works with specialists in surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and otolaryngology to provide a multidisciplinary approach for patients with complex skin cancers.
