Wonderful doctor, Dr. Megan Schlichte. I was nervous going in for a skin cancer screening but Dr. Schlichte was very calm yet very self assured. I trusted her immediately, she zapped a pre cancer spot on my nose and did a biopsy on a small mole on my arm. She took her time checking the rest of my body giving me a very thorough exam. Excellent doctor, will be going back and would highly recommend her. Thank you!
