Dr. Crater employs the full range of treatments for skin cancer in seniors. Treatment can range from a two minute treatment with simple cauterization and scraping away a superficial cancer, to topical medications for superficial cancers, to simple excision for deeper lesions. Dr. Crater takes into account patient age, patient preference, the size, depth and location of the tumor, and other factors when helping a patient choose a skin cancer treatment. Not every patient needs aggressive surgery to treat their skin cancer.
In his spare time, Dr. Crater serves on the Sanibel City Council and volunteers as a guide at the Revs Institute in Naples. He also enjoys bicycling, skiing, and antique cars.
