Offering teledermatology and in office visits 

​

We are thrilled to be able to offer our patients teledermatology appointments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Appointments are conducted via live video, which can be done from most smart phones or computers with webcam capabilities.  We are currently using FaceTime, Duo, Doximity, or Doxy.me to meet our patients’ needs. Please contact the office to make an appointment 214-615-1888 x1
