About Me
I’m a dermatologist with a primary focus on cutaneous oncology. As a Mohs micrographic surgeon, I specialize in the surgical removal of multiple types of skin cancer as well as post-surgical reconstruction. Since many skin cancers occur on cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face, I’m very proud of our very low recurrence rates and the aesthetic outcomes we can achieve after surgery.
My other clinical area of interest is in transplant dermatology. Patients who have received a transplant are on immunosuppressive medications, and these medicines can dramatically increase the risk for skin cancers. In our transplant dermatology clinics, we strive to take excellent care of this patient population, utilizing the newest and best techniques for overall skin care.
I’m an associate professor in the Division of Dermatology, where I serve as the director of the Micrographic Surgery and Dermatologic Oncology Fellowship. My research focuses primarily on cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Our group examines the outcomes of patients diagnosed with this common skin cancer, and we’re working to understand tumor and patient factors that affect the behavior of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas.
I’m privileged to be able to help patients through their diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer, providing each patient with an individualized care program that’s tailored to their specific needs and utilizes a team approach. For more complicated cases, we have a tumor board that combines multiple specialties across the medical system, allowing us to give patients the best possible care.

I was so very impressed with Dr. Carr, esp. in the excellent way he explained WHAT HE was GOING TO do, what he WAS doing, how to take care of the surgical site afterwards & what to expect! Hew as excellent! But I did ask him (in kindness) if he was old enough to be a doctor! He smiled & told me how old he was! A mere youngster! (Compared to me!) I really like him! Hew as kind & considerate and very thorough in his explanations. Didn't treat me liked I didn't know anything! (I did walk as a medical assistant for 20 some years!) Thank you!

Great in all aspects
Dr. Carr and the other doctor (forgot name) were the absolute best. I was blessed to be taken care of by both of them.
Kind and explaining procedures well
He did a great job with my eye. Discussed with me the procedure and told me what to expect. Loved he numbed both eyes and explained why. They did a much better job numbing my eye than the doctor that did the biopsy. When OSU said it would be roughly the same amount of pain, I knew I wouldn't be able to handle that. But, it wasn't nearly as painful.
Dr. Carr ROCKS!! He always listens to my concerns and is an excellent provider when it comes to MOHS surgery.

Both Dr.Carr and Dr. Guerra are very caring and thorough
Drs.Carr and Guerra both took time to explain the procedure. I like the convenience of MyChart and the ability to upload pictures of my wound for the doctors to review. Dr. Guerra (I believe that is his name) called me to address my concern and give helpful feedback.
Professional, indicated care for my concerns.
Both Dr. Carr & his fellow did an outstanding job of giving me the information about my procedure and what to expect. I appreciated all the time they took with me -
