Frequently Asked Questions
New patients are welcome — complete our patient registration packet and our team will help you get scheduled.
No referral is needed to schedule an appointment. We do accept referrals from providers.
You will receive a secure video link before your appointment. During the visit, the provider may ask you to show the area of concern on camera or to submit photos in advance through the patient portal. If the provider determines you need an in-person exam or procedure, we will schedule you at our Kentwood clinic — with transportation assistance if you need it.
Costs depend on your insurance and, if you are uninsured or underinsured, your sliding fee scale discount. Call our billing team with questions — we will never let cost stand between you and care.
Bring a photo ID, your insurance card (if you have one), a list of current medications, and any records about previous skin treatments if available.
