When Dr. Laura Ganger and her husband A.C. Ganger opened
Ganger Dermatology in November of 2012, the goal was to create a different kind of practice. Less than two years later, their results are certainly out of the ordinary. They've grown from a small office of five staff into a new, 6,500 square foot location with four providers and 10 support staff, and a new satellite office in Wixom is forthcoming.
"We decided to rethink everything we could," says A.C. Ganger. "It's paperless, high-tech and we really focus on the patient experience."
That means patients rarely wait longer than five minutes for their appointment to begin, and never have to fill out a clipboard full of paperwork. Ganger Dermatology staff takes everything possible off of the patients' plate, from contacting insurance companies to working with pharmacies.
"We build in buffer so patients don't end up waiting," Ganger says. "We see a lot fewer patients than the typical practice in a day, but we want to spend a lot of time with them."
That philosophy had Dr. Ganger booked out three months in advance after her first month in business. The growing practice moved to their current location on Huron Parkway in February after extensive renovations. Ganger plans to begin operations in their new Wixom location in mid-October. They hope to attract other medical specialists to join them in the 15,000 square foot facility.
In addition to growing their business, Ganger Dermatology has also grown into the Ann Arbor community. They have sponsored such events as the Colors of Cancer run and The Event on Main.
