Jennifer Richter, a Board-Certified Physician Assistant
who has been at Siperstein Dermatology
for five years, focuses on helping patients by using
her medical expertise and advanced artificial
intelligence to diagnose skin cancer at its earliest
stages, before it becomes life threatening.
Prior to working at Siperstein Dermatology Group,
Jennifer worked in the Department of Dermatology
at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC.
She earned her Physician Assistant Degree and Master
of Science from Cornell University. Jennifer has a
particular expertise in dermoscopy, a non-invasive
technique, which uses a combination of magnification
and light to detect skin cancer early and prevent
unnecessary surgical procedures or biopsies. While
at Memorial Sloan Kettering, she worked alongside
international leaders in the dermatology and dermoscopy
field.
“I joined Siperstein Dermatology Group because I loved how
they prioritize the patient experience, making sure that each patient
is provided with the best care and outcome possible. It is a
place where patients are not just a number. They are truly treated
like family. I immediately knew that people genuinely like to work
there. With a culture that always puts the patient first, I continue
to be amazed at how the practice continues to grow by investing
in the latest technology and providing state-of-the-art procedures
and services to our community,” said Jennifer.
She brings her advanced training and clinical experience working
with patients with dysplastic nevus syndrome, melanoma, basal
cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other complex skin
cancers, in addition to those with a history of radiation therapy and
chemotherapy. She also enjoys engaging in clinical research to keep
current with advances in the field.
Siperstein Dermatology offers DermaGraphix Mole Mapping
with AI Technology, which Jennifer is highly trained in using from
her time at Memorial Sloan Kettering. DermaGraphix mole mapping
and tracking analysis uses a high-resolution camera, advanced
software, and whole-body photography to map a patient’s entire
skin surface, creating a photographic baseline of his/her moles. At
follow up visits, artificial intelligence is then utilized to accurately
identify any change in the size, color and shape of lesions, as well as
document any new lesions.
DermaGraphix is the most innovative mole mapping system
available, and it allows Jen to spot new moles more easily as well
as track changes in patients’ existing moles, which is one of the
possible early signs of melanoma. In addition, this system has an
attached dermatoscope, which allows her to visualize and photograph
individual moles using magnification and polarized light to
better detect subtle changes in these moles and patterns that could
be consistent with melanoma. Siperstein Dermatology Group is the
only private practice in Florida to have DermaGraphix with Artificial
Intelligence Technology, and they offer this option to patients at
both offices in Boynton Beach and Boca Raton.
