It is with great sorrow that we share that Dr. Matthew Thompson has passed away.

We have lost our dear friend and trusted leader at Dermatology & Skin Cancer Center of New Mexico. Dr. Matthew Thompson, MD, was not just a founding physician at DSCCNM but a unique and multidimensional individual. His presence significantly enriched the lives of his colleagues and patients, leaving an indelible mark on each of us.

Dr. Thompson received his medical degree from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. He served over a decade of active duty in the US Navy. After retirement from the military, he returned to his home state of New Mexico, where he has been a dedicated leader in dermatology for the Albuquerque community for more than 25 years.

We are all deeply saddened by the loss of Dr. T. His passion and wonderful sense of humor were truly his greatest gifts, and we are all the richer for the time we shared with him. We will remember him for his vibrant spirit, unwavering commitment, and genuine care for each of us. Dr. T left a lasting, positive impact on his patients, our community, our professional discipline, and his family at DSCCNM.

Message From Your Doctor

Catch Skin Cancer Early​

Examine your own skin monthly. Pay special attention to moles, freckles, or other skin lesions. If you notice them changing, you should be examined by a Dermatologist sooner rather than later, regardless of symptoms.

Decrease your risk for getting Skin Cancer

Despite risks, many believe that suntans look healthy and attractive. As children and adults we are exposed to dangerous Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
More than 90% of all skin cancers are the result of exposure to ultraviolet radiation. UVA rays may have a significant effect on the development of melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. UV exposure can damage your immune system and your skin, causing a wrinkled, leathery appearance or premature aging.

Wear a high SPF sunscreen​

Frequent applications are suggested. Most Dermatologists believe that SPF 15 is not enough, 45 SPF or higher broad spectrum is better.​
