Biography
Douglas Grossman, MD, PhD, is an expert in the early diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers. He received his medical degree from Baylor College of Medicine in 1994, and completed his dermatology training at Yale University School of Medicine in 1998. Following a research fellowship in cancer biology at Yale, he was recruited to the University of Utah in 2001. He sees patients with a personal history of skin cancer or excessive sun exposure, and those at increased risk for melanoma who may have numerous or atypical moles or family members with melanoma. He directs the Mole Mapping Program at the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
