I have lived in TV just over 3 years now, and am a Melanoma cancer survivor. Dr. Casper is the 4th Dermatologist in TV that I have gone to, and so far, I'm very happy with him. Went to Dr. Barbour's office first, & even though I told them over the phone that I am a Melanoma patient, I was seen by the older physician in the group & was not impressed. I believe he is now on the staff with another doctor. Upon recommendations from some neighbors, I went to another doctor (questionable whether he is even a Board Certified Dermatologist), & his PA performed surgery on the side of my knee, which turned into an open wound after a month! Went to another well recommended Dermatologist, and he wanted to surgically remove everything so that I constantly had stitches & was unable to do any physical activity. I finally nicknamed him "cut & carve" and left his practice after He was doing surgery on my abdomen & thought that I should have another mole biopsied that was very close to the site that he was performing surgery on, but that I should schedule another appt. for that procedure instead of doing it while I was there and already numbed.

In all honesty, if it was determined that I had another melanoma, I would drive the 1 hour plus to see my previous Dermatologist in Land 'O Lakes, FL, who performed the melanoma surgery on my face!
