Advanced Dermatology and Skin Surgery is open to serve patients for all of their skin needs. The providers offer both telemedicine and in-person visits for different skin issues, including suspicious skin lesions, skin cancer, rashes (eczema, psoriasis, poison ivy), acne and skin infections. Our staff is dedicated to assist on which type of encounter, telemedicine versus in-person visit, is appropriate to better meet the needs of our patients.

During this difficult time, it is our first priority to provide excellent dermatologic care in a safe, clean environment for the health and well-being of our patients and staff. We remain open and follow the current guidelines put forth by the Federal Government entitled, “Recommendations to Re-Open Health Care Systems in Areas of Low Incidence of COVID-19” https://www.cms.gov/ files/document/covid- flexibility-reopen-essential- non-covid-services.pdf, by the following points:

1. All staff will wear personal protective equipment and maintain social distancing when appropriate.
2. Maintaining social distancing protocols for patients in the waiting rooms.
3. Routine screening of staff and patients for symptoms of COVID-19, including temperature checks.
4. Strict cleaning protocol and “touch free” zones for patients to minimize exposure.
5. Facilitating telemedicine appointments when possible to minimize the number of patients at the office daily.

It is important that we continue to serve the needs of our patients during this time, to reduce urgent skin care visits in the hospital setting, treat higher risk skin cancers and other acute skin ailments in a safe, outpatient environment during this pandemic. 

Please call our office to schedule an appointment or for any questions that we can better assist you with during this unprecedented time.
