About Me

A rash, a nodule, hair loss — don’t underestimate the importance of changes in your skin, nails and hair. These structures can be a window into your underlying health and can be a large part of our self-esteem — so it’s more than just skin deep.

Anna Bahnson, MD, is dedicated to health care for your skin and related structures. Trust her compassion and expertise with her practice at Avera Medical Group Dermatology in Sioux Falls, SD.

Passionate about Skin Care

Dermatologists provide care throughout life; from acne in our youth, to the detection of skin cancer in our later years with a commitment to preventing, managing, and reversing disease. She sees patients of all ages facing conditions, including:

  • Skin cancer
  • Dermatitis and skin allergies
  • Moles, warts and other growths
  • Sun damage
  • Birthmarks
  • Psoriasis
  • Acne

“Dermatologic care is not one size fits all,” she said. “It’s about finding the treatment combination that works best for you.” This is one of the reasons Dr. Bahnson stays on the cutting edge of available treatments.

Active Lifestyle

Dr. Bahnson enjoys spending time with her husband, family and dog. For personal hobbies, she likes to be outside water skiing, hiking, reading and listening to podcasts.
