Growing up, Chandler Jansen, MD, had multiple influential physician relationships that made a positive impact in her life. Her interest in science, along with the inspirational care she received, drew her to medicine.
Today, Dr. Jansen is proud to offer her specialized dermatology services at Avera Medical Group Dermatology in Sioux Falls, SD.
Expert Care in Dermatology and Skin Cancer Care
As a dermatologist, Dr. Jansen focuses heavily on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers. Common skin cancers include melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma.
One skin cancer treatment Dr. Jansen is highly skilled in is Mohs surgery. This surgery removes the skin cancer while preserving the surrounding unaffected skin.
It is an awake surgery, and Dr. Jansen wants you to feel comfortable during the procedure. During procedures, she enjoys having conversations and getting to know you. However, if relaxing and being silent helps you feel at ease, she wants to help create that peaceful atmosphere.
If you notice unusual changes in your skin or moles, contact your primary care provider or dermatologist immediately. Spots to get checked include those changing color or shape, as well as lesions that won’t heal.
Active Lifestyle
When Dr. Jansen was in South Carolina for her training, she and her husband became avid golfers. That continues today! They also enjoy spending time with their family, watching sports and hiking.
