Dr. Skelley is a board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained skin cancer specialist. He is the only fellowship-trained Mohs Surgeon in Helena and one of only a few fellowship-trained Mohs Surgeons in the state of Montana. While a surgical and skin cancer specialist, he thoroughly enjoys practicing general medical dermatology as well. Dr. Skelley also treats eczema, psoriasis, autoimmune conditions, nail disorders and a variety of cosmetic skin conditions.
His formal education, prior to practicing dermatology, consisted of:
- 4 years of undergraduate education,
- 4 years of medical school training,
- 1 year of general medical and surgical transitional-year training,
- 3 years of dedicated dermatology training during his residency, and
- 1 year of specialized surgical oncology and cutaneous reconstruction during his fellowship.
His 13 years of higher education and medical training are a testament to his dedication to the profession and his desire to provide the best possible care to his patients.
Dr. Skelley completed his residency and fellowship training at the prestigious Mayo Clinic Department of Dermatology in Rochester, MN. While at the Mayo Clinic, he was trained by some of the best pediatric, general, and surgical dermatology experts in the world.
After finishing his formal training in 2019, Dr. Skelley moved to Helena and practiced general and surgical dermatology for 2 years, prior to starting Guardian Dermatology, P.C. To date, he has performed thousands of Mohs surgeries and reconstructions for skin cancer. His average number of tissue layers needed to clear a head and neck skin cancer with Mohs Surgery is 1.2 layers. This places him in the top 3% of all Mohs Surgeons in the country in terms of tumor clearance rate.
Originally from Missouri, Dr. Skelley was drawn to the mountains at an early age during several climbing trips as a Boy Scout, and eventually, as an Eagle Scout. He enjoys hiking, biking, and kayaking with his wife, Janey, during his free time. He is also an avid tennis player and a member at the Last Chance Tennis Center.
