Shane Hamman, MD, FAAD, FACMS

“Excellent patient care is our goal. Each patient is unique, and we strive to make a connection with each of them to provide the care that they need from medical management to surgical procedures. With every patient and case, I think to myself, ‘what would I do if this was my family member’ and that motivates me to constantly work for perfection and to provide the most excellent surgical care I can.”
