What patients ask most.
Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?
Most patients do not need a referral to schedule with us. Some insurance plans, particularly HMOs, do require one, so it is worth a quick call to your insurer beforehand. Our team can help you sort this out when you call to book.
How long does it take to get an appointment?
It depends on the type of visit and time of year. If you have an urgent concern such as a rapidly changing mole, a painful or bleeding lesion, or a severe flare, tell us when you call and we will do our best to get you in sooner.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring your insurance card, photo ID, a list of current medications and supplements, and any prior dermatology records or biopsy results if you have them. If you are being seen for a rash, photos of it at its worst are genuinely useful, since rashes often change between flare and appointment.
Should I wear makeup to my appointment?
For a full skin exam or evaluation of a facial concern, come with a clean face if you can. Makeup can obscure early changes, and we would rather see your skin as it actually is.
How is acne treated in a dermatology office?
Treatment is matched to the type and severity of acne, and may include topical medications, oral medications, hormonal therapy, or in-office procedures. The goal is not just clearing current breakouts but preventing the scarring that follows them, which is why earlier treatment usually produces better outcomes.
Can you treat hair loss?
Yes. Hair loss has many causes, including hormonal, autoimmune, nutritional, and inflammatory ones, and effective treatment depends entirely on identifying which is at work. Evaluation may include a scalp exam, lab work, and sometimes a biopsy before a treatment plan is built.
