In an attempt to reduce your exposure to and the spread of COVID-19 we are trying to limit the number of patients seen in our office and insure safe-distancing. At the same time, we recognize the need to evaluate all patients seeking an opinion regarding a skin problem.
If you call our office, we can email you the appropriate forms for new and established patients. You can either email these back to us or send us a synopsis. Photographs will be helpful and be assured that our privacy will be respected. Ideally, photos should be taken under natural daylight.
Established Patient Form.
You can fill this out or just give me the information in narrative form.
Your name:
Your age and occupation:
A brief description of the skin problem. Please send us photos, if appropriate. Let us know how long you’ve had this problem, whether it has been treated by another physician, and with what medications.
General Information:
- Please tell me how you are doing.
- Do you need a refill of your medication? If so what is it and what dose are you taking.
- What specific questions do you have?

How are you doing with the stress these days?
Please let me know if you have any other specific concerns.
