      I have moved once again. I need a new dermatologist who deals with melanoma. I have found that posting on here seems to get the best recommendations. I am living in roanoke Rapids nc. Ian directly between Raleigh nc and Richmond va. Thanks in advance.

                I am in NC also (Mooresville, NC which is about 30 min north of Charlotte). I am seen by Dr. John Stewart at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston Salem… he is a surgical oncologist who is a melanoma specialist and I have been very pleased with him.  It looks like this would be about 2.5 hours from you. You could also be seen at Duke which would be a little closer, but I am not familiar with the doctors there – I will say that my sister's husband travels there all the way from NY several times a year as he is getting treatment for a brain tumor from them and they have been very happy with the care.
