"…we give out our home phone numbers, because we want patients to be able to find us if they have a problem or need something"

- Dr. Timothy M. Johnson, M.D.

We treat our patients and their families with compassion and sensitivity, and provide efficient scheduling of appointments and follow-up care. Skin cancer patients have access to the Patient Care Center , which helps in coordinating everything from one easy access point. Patients can call and find answers to everything from disease-specific information to help with booking flights and lodging for the duration of their treatment.  At the University of Michigan, our team of expert health care professionals revolve around you. That’s the Michigan difference.
