New patients:

Please feel free to call during normal business hours to schedule a telehealth appointment. If you have an issue that is covered by insurance, and telehealth is covered by your insurance plan, you will be billed through your insurance carrier. Co-pays and deductibles will continue to be the patient’s responsibility. If telehealth is not covered by your insurances, and you have a pressing issue that you wish to have addressed, a flat fee of $75 dollars will be charged for a 15 minute new patient telehealth visit.

New Patient Cosmetic consults/Skin Care consultations:

Please call the office to schedule these consultations. Cosmetic consults and Skin Consultations are billed at $75, which can be applied towards a procedure or applied towards a skin care purchase
