Great care, Dr. Cherpelis asked me before procedures if I had/ have any questions. He also has a great demeanor and made me feel like I mattered!

I have driven from Lakewood Ranch where there are many dermatologist options to see Dr Cherpelis for skin checks since my first Mohs. No other practice offers seeing a resident followed by an experienced MD like Dr C on every skin check. Most community practices use NPs or PAs for primary care purposes. It has been very reassuring to be a patient at USF dermatology in the excellent environment at the Morsani Center.
