After completing his fellowship, Dr. Kent returned to Georgia as the founding partner of Dermatologic Surgery Specialists in Macon where he was first Mohs Fellowship trained dermatologist in the state outside of Atlanta.

Dr. Kent has performed over 36,000 Mohs surgical procedures and is one of a select number of program directors charged with training other dermatologists in Mohs surgery and reconstructive surgery accredited through the American College of Mohs Surgery. He specializes in difficult and recurrent skin cancers and is credentialed with OR privileges and local hospitals.

His aesthetic interests focus on helping patients improve their body contours and shape through both surgical and non-surgical options. He has performed tumescent liposuction with micro-cannulas for over 23 years. He received his training in tumescent liposuction under Dr. Patrick Lillis and Dr. Jeffrey Klein, the originator of the tumescent technique. Dr. Kent has incorporated lasers with liposuction to selectively melt fat and tighten skin with remarkable tightening and even faster recovery than what is seen in with traditional tumescent liposuction.
