Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Steven Snyder

Sourced directly from Dr. Steven Snyder's social posts and replies.

What is GentleCure (IG-SRT) and what are its key features and benefits?
GentleCure (IG-SRT) is Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy, an FDA-cleared (2015) non-surgical treatment for early non-melanoma skin cancers (basal cell, squamous cell, and squamous cell in situ). It uses High Resolution Dermal Ultrasound (HRDUS) to precisely identify the size, depth, and width of the cancer, down to one hundredth of a millimeter. Low energy X-rays, similar to dental X-rays, then selectively target and gently kill cancer cells while preserving healthy surrounding tissue. Treatments are brief (several minutes), administered 3-4 times a week for a total of 20 sessions, followed by a six-week follow-up. Key benefits include: no surgery, no needles, no cutting, no pain, no anesthesia, no bleeding, no scarring, no skin grafts or flaps, and no need to hide from the public during treatment. It boasts a 99.7% cure rate, less than 0.5% recurrence, and a 99.8% patient satisfaction/preference rate. Patients often appreciate seeing their skin cancers shrink with HRDUS imaging. GentleCure can achieve completely undetectable and beautiful cosmetic results, even for challenging areas like nodular basal cell cancer of the nasal tip, with the treated skin appearing and feeling normal. It is supported by the AAD, NCCN, ASCO/ASTRO, and peer-reviewed studies as a first-line non-surgical alternative.

Who is a suitable candidate for GentleCure (IG-SRT)?
GentleCure (IG-SRT) is indicated for patients with early non-melanoma skin cancers (basal cell, squamous cell, or squamous cell in situ). It is particularly suitable for those who are poor surgical candidates (due to co-morbidities, bleeding disorders, poor wound healing, or surgical fatigue), have lesions in cosmetically sensitive areas (such as the nasal tip), or simply choose to decline surgery.
Source →
Is GentleCure (IG-SRT) covered by insurance?
Yes, GentleCure (IG-SRT) is typically covered by most major insurance plans, including Medicare.
Source →
What are the challenges of Mohs surgery and surgical repair on the nose?
While Mohs surgery is considered the Gold Standard for treating basal cell skin cancer, it can be very difficult to remove basal cell cancer from the nasal tip without leaving any scar. The nose, particularly the nasal tip, has tight, rigid skin that does not stretch easily, and its contours reflect light, making any surgical repair or resulting scars stand out. This makes the nasal tip a particularly challenging area for surgical removal and repair.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$3,107

Payments

145

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Steven Snyder received $3,107 across 145 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
