Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Justin Platzer

Sourced directly from Dr. Justin Platzer's social posts and replies.

What are Dr. Platzer's recommendations for skin cancer prevention and early detection?
Dr. Platzer emphasizes that every tan is a sign of skin damage, and tanning beds can increase melanoma risk by up to 75%. For the look of a tan, he recommends safer alternatives like spray tans or sunless tanning products. Sun protection is one of the most powerful ways to reduce skin cancer risk; SPF should be part of your daily routine and reapplied when outdoors. Early detection matters, so if you notice a spot that is new, changing, or not healing, schedule a professional skin exam. Remember that skin cancer doesn't always appear in expected locations, so self-skin checks should include easy-to-miss areas like your scalp, behind your ears, under your nails, and the soles of your feet. Patients due for their annual skin exam should schedule it promptly.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$1,918

Payments

113

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Justin Platzer received $1,918 across 113 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
