COVID-19 Update

Those patients at higher risk for severe complications of COVID- 19 (age greater than 70, history of diabetes, significant heart disease, chronic lung disease, asthma, chronic kidney disease and immunosuppression) should schedule a virtual visit if possible. Certain skin conditions can be adequately treated through telemedicine such as acne, psoriasis, eczema, etc. Also, suspicious growths can be virtually evaluated to determine whether or not an in person visit is necessary. However, it is our opinion that full-body skin examinations must be conducted in person.

If you are unsure of what kind of visit you need, please call us and we will help guide you.

On May 18, 2020, we re-opened the practice to in person visits in the morning while maintaining virtual visits in the afternoon. Appointments will be geared to those with urgent medical problems and those at risk for skin cancer. This includes people with a history of skin cancer, precancerous lesions/dysplastic moles and those for whom a virtual visit is inadequate.

Yes.  You may book either Virtual or In-Person appointments through our Zocdoc platform.

Michigan will remain in a state of emergency through May 28, 2020 under executive Order 2020-70. This order recognizes medical practices as essential businesses and does not explicitly require the postponement of all medical procedures. However, we will continue to adhere to guidance issued by the CDC and seek input from various medical associations for which medical procedures may resume and when they may resume. During this time frame, we will slowly open up appointments to those that are less urgent (and cannot be handled through a virtual visit).

We will re-open cosmetic appointments starting June 1, 2020; You may contact us now to start booking appointments. We will notify our clients by e mail when we resume cosmetic procedures.

After every visit all exam room surfaces (tables, chairs, and counters) are wiped down with CDC approved cleaning products. Currently we are using Cavicide which has a quick COVID kill time.
