Dermatology is the medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of skin, hair, and nail conditions. It includes a wide range of concerns, from common skin conditions like acne and eczema to more serious issues like skin cancer.
You may need to see a dermatologist if you experience any of the following: persistent skin conditions (such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis), suspicious moles or skin changes, hair loss, nail problems, or if you have any concerns about the health or appearance of your skin. A dermatologist can offer specialized care and a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Referral requirements depend on your insurance plan. Some insurance plans may require a referral from your primary care doctor before you can see a dermatologist, while others allow direct access. Check with your insurance provider or your primary care doctor to find out the specifics for your plan.
During your first dermatology appointment, the dermatologist will review your medical history, ask about your skin concerns, and conduct a thorough skin exam. Depending on your concerns, they may perform additional tests or procedures. The dermatologist will discuss a personalized treatment plan and answer any questions you may have about your condition or care options.
Most insurance plans offer coverage for dermatology services, but the extent of coverage can vary. It is important to check with your insurance provider to confirm if dermatology visits are covered under your plan, especially for specific treatments or procedures. Some services may require a copay or have certain restrictions.
We offer a variety of treatments for acne, tailored to each patient’s needs. Options may include topical treatments (like retinoids and antibiotics), oral medications, chemical peels, laser therapy, and in-office procedures like extractions or cortisone injections. Your dermatologist will help you determine the most effective treatment based on the severity of your acne and your skin type.
