Dr Rickett is the doctor who performs my twice annual skin checks. He is very conscientious and leaves no skin to doubt. As a skin cancer survivor it is important that my dermatologist is ready to excise any mole or cyst that presents ugliness and/or a chance of cancer. Make Doctor Rickett your Huckleberry!
