04. How do I know if a spot or mole is concerning?
If you notice changes in size, shape, color, or symptoms like bleeding or itching, it’s important to have it evaluated. When in doubt, it’s always best to have it checked.

We frequently see patients with treatment-resistant conditions. Our approach is thoughtful and stepwise, focusing on finding the right solution for you. It is helpful if you bring pictures and or lists of anything applied to your skin.
07. Need to be Seen Today?
While we are not a walk-in clinic, we understand that some concerns simply can't wait. When possible, we are happy to accommodate same-day needs based on urgency and availability. If we are unable to safely work you into our schedule, we encourage you to contact your primary care provider or seek care at an urgent care clinic or emergency department when appropriate.

We'll always do our best to help guide you to the right care.

12. Do I have to fully undress for a skin exam?
For a complete and accurate skin exam, we do ask that you change into a gown so all areas of the skin can be properly evaluated. However, your comfort is always respected. You may keep undergarments on, and we can work around any areas you prefer not to have examined. We aim to be thorough while also making sure you feel at ease throughout the visit.
13. Can I decline certain areas to be checked?
Yes. Your exam is always your choice. If there are areas you prefer not to have examined, just let us know. We may recommend evaluating certain areas if there is a medical concern, but we will always explain why and respect your preferences.
