As a former All-State and Big Ten basketball player, who attended Northwestern University on a full athletic scholarship, Dr. Jerdan enjoys sharing his sports knowledge and coaching skills with local Georgia communities. His love of sports has kept him highly involved for many years as a coach, manager, and director of multiple youth baseball and basketball sports organizations.
Providing quality care for the dermatologic needs of patients has been a goal throughout my extensive training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and my clinical career in Georgia. With a career-long interest in clinicopathologic correlation, I have had the unique opportunity to bridge the specialties of dermatology and cutaneous pathology. This experience has deepened my ability to treat and understand skin diseases. I especially enjoy working with patients and utilizing these skills to provide quality dermatologic care.”
