Beneath the Mistletoe…what’s this all about?
Hanging mistletoe over a doorway during the holidays is a tradition that most Americans and a lot of people around the world have grown up with.
The correct mistletoe etiquette is for the man to remove one berry when he kisses a woman. When all the berries are gone, there is no more kissing underneath that plant. It is believed that an unmarried woman not kissed under the mistletoe will remain single for another year.
The history of mistletoe is very interesting…

Special Skin Microscope
As a general rule of thumb, Dr. Crutchfield recommends that everyone have a baseline comprehensive skin examination at some point in their life. Based on the examination, your dermatologist will recommend how often you should have additional exams in the future. The most important thing is to get a prompt evaluation if you have a mole changing in any way (size, color, or shape) or any spot on your skin that bleeds and does not heal in three weeks (without provocation). Also, any person who has had a melanoma should make sure that all of their first-degree relatives have a baseline skin examination. At Crutchfield Dermatology we are pioneers in the use of the revolutionary dermatoscope in the evaluation of suspicious moles. This allows Dr. Crutchfield to better see the inner structure of the mole, often times eliminating the need for an uncomfortable biopsy. |

Mrs. Minnesota-America 2006
"Even though I've competed in pageants for years, I had never had any cosmetic procedures done. Even though I'd heard wonderful things about Botox and Restylane, I was very hesitant to try anything for fear of looking overly "done." Although I was hesitant at first, I decided to give them a try and am SOOO GLAD that I did! Dr. Crutchfield listened carefully to my concerns and reservations and gave me EXACTLY the results I was looking for! He is the best in the business and I would not trust anyone else with my cosmetic dermatology needs. Dr. Crutchfield and his staff get my highest recommendation and I will be a very satisfied patient for many years to come!"
I mean it with all my heart! You truly are the best!

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel
and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office
and asked them to disperse. "But why," they asked, as they moved off. "Because", he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
