Initial Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgical Consultations
Regardless of the diagnosis for which you have been referred, it is our policy to perform a complete full-body skin examination at the time of your initial consultation. Not only is a full skin examination for skin cancer screening a basic health necessity for everyone on at least an annual basis, a thorough skin check gives us a great deal of important information about your skin. For more detailed information for new patients click here.
Insurance Requirements
We accept numerous health insurance plans for medically necessary Dermatologic services. Cosmetic treatments are not covered by health insurance and payment is required at the time of service or treatment.
HMO's require referral, and it is the patient's responsibility to obtain one from his or her primary care physician. Patients must have an active referral on file with us.
