What to Expect During Your Initial Consultation

Step 1

Initial Intake

Upon arrival to our office, you will be guided by a medical assistant or nurse into one of our state-of-the-art, comfortable treatment rooms. Per our COVID protocol, you will be asked to wash your hands and perform a sanitizing mouth rinse. Your medical assistant or nurse will conduct your initial medical information intake. Finally, one of our board-certified dermatologists will sit down with you to discuss your skin concerns and goals for seeking dermatologic care.​

Step 2

Physician Examination

With your consent, baseline photographs will be taken to guide an examination of your skin and offer a reference point for comparing before-and-after treatment results.

Step 3

Individualized Treatment Plan

Once you and your physician have come to an understanding of your concerns, priorities, and goals, the physician will outline a care plan for you. The plan will include short-term and long-term treatment recommendations, as well as a personalized skincare routine including products available for purchase in the office. If no contraindications are determined, treatment can be performed during your initial consultation.
