Nelson Bruce R

General Practitioners

Family Practice
Dr. Nelson graduated with high honors from Lamar University in 1979 with a degree in biology. After attending the University of Texas-Houston Medical School where he also graduated with honors, Dr. Nelson continued his education by completing his Family Practice Internship at the University of Texas Medical School in Tyler before completing a three-year Dermatology Residency at Baylor College of Medicine.

Mohs Surgery
Mohs surgery relies on meticulous mapping and preparation of the removed cancerous tissue in coordination with the precision and accuracy of a microscope which is used to map out the microscopic roots of the tumor which are not visible to the naked eye. This is an advantage in treating skin cancers that can be deceptively large (more extensive under the skin than they appear to be from the surface). These cancers can have microscopic extensions in the skin, and also along nerves, blood vessels and cartilage. Skin cancers that have recurred after previous treatments may send out deep extensions under the scar tissue that resulted from previous procedures. Mohs surgery is specifically designed to remove these cancers by tracking and removing these cancerous "roots." This provides the highest cure rate and the greatest conservation of normal healthy tissue and skin.
Reconstructive Surgery
At the Dermatologic Surgery Center of Houston, our primary focus is the treatment of skin cancer. Dr. Bruce R. Nelson is a board certified dermatologist who has undergone additional formal training in the Mohs micrographic surgical technique, and is therefore highly skilled in the interpretation of microscopic slides as well as in reconstructive surgery.

Plastic Surgeons

Plastic Surgery
He furthered his training with a Fellowship in Cosmetic and Dermatologic Surgery at the University of Arkansas and served as an examiner for the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery for three years. He then completed an additional Fellowship in Mohs Micrographic Surgery at the University of Michigan in 1989 where he was asked to remain as a faculty member and held faculty appointments in three departments (Dermatology, Otorhinolaryngology, and Plastic Surgery).
Cosmetic Surgery

Skin Cancer
As skin cancer remains the cornerstone of our practice, the Dermatologic Surgery Center of Houston is able to provide the expertise necessary to achieve the highest possible cure rates while also maximizing the aesthetic results for our patients. Our highly-trained and courteous staff is committed to providing unparalleled patient care in a comfortable and professional setting at our state-of-the-art outpatient facility.
Dermatology
He taught Dermatologic Surgery there for five years and won multiple teaching awards from the residents and students. Dr. Nelson was the recipient of the prestigious American Academy of Dermatology's Academic Award for Excellence for his development and teaching of the University of Michigan's medical student dermatology curriculum, which included interactive student-patient conferences and seminars.
