As a 70 year old Floridian I abused my skin by sitting in the sun at the beach without protection for many years. We used baby oil and iodine for a great tan! Now I'm paying the price. I've been faithfully having annual dermotology appointments for forty years. I've been a patient of Dr Casper for five years. I have found him to be very thorough and competent....... my opinion. He has not suggested any surgeries. Just a few biopsies that were benign. I consider myself very fortunate so far. I've scoured the internet for reasons why a doctor would be dropped from the advantage plan. Time magazine had an article saying there are some shortcomings in the quality of providers in some Advantage networks. Only 40% of their networks include top quality cancer centers. I also read that doctors are not given a reason when they are dropped. It's very common. Please check out some of the articles online before assuming there is something "wrong" with Dr Casper. It may be just the opposite.
