Highlights
Dr. Kenneth Greer profile video
Hi. My name is Kenny Greer. I'm a dermatologist at the University of Virginia. Dermatology does skin, mucous membranes. So, we do the mouth. We do eyes. We do other mucous membranes in the body. So, we're fairly broad. We're at an institution which keeps up with modern techniques and modern information. Now, since my patients have grown older with me, I do a lot of skin cancer work. I see a lot more cancer of all types. Basal cell, squamous cell, and melanomas than I did a long time ago. I still see rashes. I still get consults from other physicians around the state to see challenging cases, which is what I like to do also. I've been adamant about talking to my patients on the phone when they need me. That's important to them they state. I'm enthusiastic about what I do and I hopefully see it fall off onto them a little bit that we're going to do something for them.
