I understand the concern and psychological impact skin disease can cause, and I try my best with every encounter to provide you with reassurance and the absolute best course of action. I have been with the same practice since the start of my career in 2003, when I became the first to provide Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer in Santa Cruz. Since 2003, I have performed over 25,000 Mohs surgeries and reconstructions, as well as many thousands of skin cancer excisions, laser therapies, and cosmetic procedures. It is my goal to always make you feel well cared for and never rushed. I take great pride in your results from any dermatologic procedure, and I will help guide you through the process and the best course of action. I am a very proud member of the PAMF family and our standard of care. Thank you for your time! ### Professional highlights Diplomate of the American Board of Specialties, Fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, Fellow of the American Society for Mohs Surgery, volunteer in multiple annual free skin cancer exam events, volunteer coach for kids' sports. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, Dr. Dacey enjoys music, golf, coaching his three sons' sports teams, Notre Dame football (alumnus 1994), and is an avid guitar player. ## Education and training **Medical school:** University of Louisville School of Medicine, KY **Residency:** University of Louisville Hospitals, KY ## Board certifications -
