Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Will the doctor be able to examine my skin?

A. The video platform uses standard definition resolution for interfacing.  This provides limited image detail.  It is important to understand these limitations, and that no technology can replace the detailed skin analysis that occurs during an in-person encounter. Some patients will require in-person follow up appointments.

Q. What is the cost of a telemedicine appointment?

A. Telemedicine visits cost the same as office visits. They are a convenient alternative for some patients. Co-pays specific to your plan will be billed/collected from you as appropriate.

Q. What if I am late to the appointment?

A. If patients connect more than 10 minutes late to their Telemedicine visit, their appointment is cancelled.

Q. Can my teenager have a video visit?

A. Patients under the age of 18 must have a legal adult guardian present during their Telemedicine visit.

Q. Who is in the room during my visit?

A. The doctor and a medical assistant will be present during your visit.  Care is taken to prevent others from being in the same room, we will carefully safeguard your privacy. The telemedicine link system is very secure.
