Dr. Fancher is a Fellowship-Trained, Double-Board-Certified dermatologist and Mohs micrographic surgeon who strives to provide each of her patients with compassionate care and patient-centered education of the highest quality.

Dr. Fancher grew up in Missouri, where she stayed for her undergraduate and medical training. She completed her undergraduate work at Truman State University, where she played varsity soccer, was inducted into the highly-esteemed Phi Beta Kappa, Kappa Phi, and Psi Chi honor societies, and graduated summa cum laude. She then earned her medical degree at The University of Missouri where she held many leadership and mentorship roles. Her medical training opened her eyes to the wide gap in access to healthcare both locally and internationally. This led her to help start the MedZou Free Health Clinic locally and to take four separate international trips to provide free health care to underserved populations. She moved to Chicago for residency training in Dermatology at the University of Illinois-Chicago where she served as Chief resident during her final year. Dr. Fancher’s last stage of training was her fellowship in Mohs micrographic surgery and cutaneous oncology at the renowned University of Wisconsin – where Dr. Fredrick Mohs invented the surgical technique now used to treat skin cancer across the world. In fact, Dr. Fancher is a third-generation trainee of Dr. Mohs himself! During her fellowship, Dr. Fancher received intensive training with three different Mohs surgeons as well as specialists in facial plastic reconstructive surgery and cosmetic dermatology.

Following her fellowship training, Dr. Fancher headed out to the Pacific Northwest where she practiced for seven years before returning to the Midwest to be closer to family. She has performed over 10,000 Mohs surgeries, thousands of excisions, and many cosmetic procedures. She has had the great pleasure of training numerous dermatology residents and Mohs surgical fellows. Dr. Fancher’s research has been published in several peer reviewed journals and presented at national meetings. She is a member of the American Academy of Dermatology, the American College of Mohs Surgery, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, and the Women’s Dermatologic Society. She is also a reviewer for the prestigious, peer-reviewed Dermatologic Surgery journal.

In her free time, Dr. Fancher enjoys spending time with her husband, two daughters, and two dogs as well as sharing life with extended family, friends, and church community. She is an avid runner and has competed in many races including triathalons, marathons, half-marathons, and the Hood to Coast Relay- the largest and most popular running relay race in the world. She also enjoys reading, hiking, traveling, and trying new restaurants and cuisines.
