Frequently Asked Questions
1. What conditions do you treat at your dermatology clinic?
We specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of skin, hair, and nail conditions, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, vitiligo, skin infections, warts, moles, and skin cancer. We also offer cosmetic dermatology services such as laser treatments, microneedling, chemical peels, and more.
2. Do I need a referral to make an appointment with a dermatologist?
In most cases, you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, depending on your insurance provider, a referral from your primary care doctor may be required. We recommend checking with your insurance for specific guidelines.
3. How can I tell if a mole or skin lesion is dangerous?
We recommend monitoring moles using the ABCDE rule (Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving). If a mole changes in shape, size, or color, or begins to bleed or itch, you should schedule a skin check with one of our board-certified dermatologists as soon as possible.
4. Do you offer treatment for hair loss or scalp conditions?
Yes, we evaluate and treat various causes of hair loss, including alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, and scalp infections. Our treatments may include topical or oral medications, PRP therapy, and advanced diagnostic testing.
5. What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first appointment will include a comprehensive skin evaluation and a review of your medical history. Depending on your concern, we may perform a biopsy, start a treatment plan, or recommend further testing. We encourage patients to bring a list of current medications and any relevant photos or documents.
