A board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist, he specializes in treating chronic and acute skin conditions, including excisional skin surgery, laser surgery, photodynamic therapy, dermatologic immunology, sclerotherapy, and cosmetic dermatology procedures.
Dr. Stricker received his medical degree from Michigan State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his internship in internal medicine at Genesys Regional Medical Center and his residency in pathology at the Texas A&M University College of Medicine’s Scott and White Memorial Hospital.
He completed two dermatological fellowships: one in dermatopathology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, and another in dermatology and Mohs surgery at the Skin Cancer and Cosmetic Dermatology Center in Dalton, Georgia. Dr. Stricker continues to train in laser surgery and Mohs micrographic surgery through programs from the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery and the American Society for Mohs Surgery.
He is a founding member of the American Board of Administrative Medicine, a past chair of the American Osteopathic Board of Pathology, and served as an assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Central Florida and as an adjunct clinical professor at Lincoln Memorial University’s DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine.
My role as a physician is to provide the highest level of dermatological care for our region. I also feel we have a mission to educate the community on the importance of annual skin exams and how vital they are in early detection and skin cancer treatment. In my work as a Mohs surgeon and dermatopathologist, I am constantly reminded of how very important it is that a patient sees a dermatologist as soon as he or she notices any suspicious or changing moles.”
