For the past 28 years I have enjoyed practicing dermatology at Mercy Hospital and Clincs in Springfield, Missouri. Throughout those years, I became an accomplished staff dermatologist and built a very large practice with a proven track record for enhancing patient care through collaborative teamwork and extensive knowledge and expertise in cutaneous medicine and surgery. Just recently, my colleagues and patients, within the city of Springfield, honored me, by selecting me, as one of two dermatologists named, "best dermatologist in Springfield." As an expert in melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer detection and through patient education, I have significantly improved the outcomes of many of these patients. In addition, my familiarity in the use of the EPIC EMR system for medical documentation has also resulted in improved outcomes and patient satisfaction. I am certain that I could be a valuable addition to any group practice interested in starting or growing a dermatology specialty.
