History of Excellence

Formerly known as The Goslen Center, our practice was established in 1990 by Dr. J. Blake Goslen III, who brought Mohs Micrographic Surgery to Charlotte for the first time. Dr. Goslen’s commitment to his patients left a lasting impression, one that laid the foundations we continue to build upon today. Known as Dermatology, Laser & Vein Specialists of the Carolinas since Dr. Munavalli assumed ownership in 2005, we are honored to continue to fulfill Dr. Goslen’s original mission of excellence in patient care.

Our ongoing commitment to patient relationships and advanced treatment offerings has allowed us to build a strong reputation in the area, and we are grateful to be consistently recognized by our peers and patients for our treatment results and outcomes. As a result, we are proud to have partnered with several other area physicians to provide continuity of care for their patients upon their retirement from service.
