April
Certified Physician Assistant
April S. Ross, PA-C, joined the staff of the Skin Cancer Centre in November 2011 and has been a vital asset since this time.
April earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Pre-Medicine with a Major in Biology and Minor in Chemistry from Southern Wesleyan University. She then completed her Master's degree in Medicine from Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tennessee and has been a certified Physician Assistant since 2005. While in graduate school, April was PA student of the year for the state of Tennessee.
April practiced in Family Medicine for 7 years in Seneca, SC prior to joining the Skin Cancer Centre. During this time, she was responsible for treating a broad range of disease processes encountered in a typical family practice. However, she devoted most of her time to screening and treating the dermatological conditions of many of her patients in the multi-specialty practice. Joining the professional team of the Skin Cancer Centre is a realization of April’s dream to further specialize, and to become an expert in the management of patients predisposed to the development of pre-cancers and cancers of the skin.
April is married and has two children, a son Samuel and daughter, Baker. She enjoys spending time with her family and working on their family farm
