Expert opinion without giving up hours of your day. 

Live one-on-one video evaluation and management of your dermatological condition.

Because really, we are not here to show off our waiting room. 

• We make significant effort to eliminate the "waiting" room time traditionally associated with a physician visits because we value your time.  

• However, even with this patient-focused approach, not every person has the time to drive to our office.  In select situations, a Teledermatology visit can save you vital time and still offer quality follow up care. 
  

• This option can be of particular benefit to those without easy transportation, our rural patient population, those unable to take time off work, those conserving gas and most anyone else with valuable time considerations. 
  

• Please note that a Teledermatology visit requires you to schedule and pre-confirm your visit.  
  

• We will not process insurance paperwork for these visits and insurance plans often do not cover them. However, we do strive to make this approach cost efficient to you.
  

• Your tele-visit is like any other visit.  It will include proper medical record documentation, and will have an assistant witness the visit on our end as if you were in the clinic exam room.

• If you live a good distance from our clinics, this is a good way to minimize your time-costs.  Once you establish care, many of your future visits can be done via Tele-Dermatology. 

If you have taken advantage of our pre-confirmed visits, you have already enjoyed some of the benefits our innovative patient-focused approach.  Now, with Teledermatology, you can continue to benefit with even more competitive offerings that further facilitate high quality care. 

Why choose a Teledermatology visit?

• To save hours in your day
  
• You would rather spend your extra time at work or with your family/friends
  
• You want to save your sick days for major emergencies
• Because your co-pay is almost the same as our Tele-visit cost
• You want to take advantage of the great rates
  
• Because some doctors like to impress you with fancy waiting rooms, fish tanks, wood floors/marble counters, but you are really interested in quality care that is cost efficient  
  
• Your insurance may not cover the visit, but the co-pay is almost the same as the telederm visit cost.
