We didn’t just learn the techniques. We invented many of them. In addition to being the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology International, Dr Kantor has authored more than 200 research publications, abstracts, and book chapters, not to mention four books published by McGraw-Hill.
His groundbreaking research on everything from the set-back and fascial plication suture techniques to the ferritin compensation hypothesis and melanoma screening has been the subject of editorials in every major dermatology journal, from JAMA Dermatology to the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology and the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.
Not just the best dermatologist in St Augustine. Or the best dermatologist in Jacksonville. Come see the team led by what a former President of the American Academy of Dermatology referred to as “the best and most dynamic dermatologist of his generation.”
From melanoma to Mohs surgery, we have innovated, invented, and pioneered new and improved techniques that have improved lives around the world. Proud to call northeast Florida home, Dr Kantor remains on faculty at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine–home of the nation’s first medical school, first dermatology department, and the top-ranked dermatology training center in the world.
We know that skin conditions may be embarrassing–and skin cancer can be downright scary. Trust the friendliest staff around with your skin and we will show you the ridiculously friendly difference. Every patient is a patient, not a number, and we treat everyone like they are one of the family. Whichever member of our team you see, we always communicate closely to deliver only the finest and most nuanced care available.
Ivy-league trained. Ivy-league faculty. As an innovator and pioneer in dermatology and dermatologic surgery, Dr Kantor’s research has been cited everywhere from Fox News to Self, Prevention, and Reader’s Digest. A frequent commentator on broadcast media, Dr Kantor speaks around the world, teaching doctors and surgeons reconstructive techniques.
We are passionate about serving our community, and Dr Kantor is frequently interviewed on the local, national, and international level for his expertise. Whether appearing on Channel 4 or providing in-depth background to the MIT Technology Review, we are here to serve our patients and community in any way possible.
