Our team will confirm your eligibility and set up your virtual visit.

What Is an eVisit Good For?

  • Appropriate follow-up appointments — checking in on a condition your provider is already managing
  • Prescription refills — renewals of existing dermatology medications
  • Rashes and non-emergency skin concerns — new or changing rashes that don't require an in-person exam
eVisits are not for emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Some skin conditions also require an in-person exam — your provider will tell you if an office visit is needed.

Photos & Privacy

Your provider may request photos of the affected area to evaluate your concern. Please be aware that standard text messaging is not a secure, encrypted channel — only send images and information you are comfortable transmitting by text.

Before texting the practice, please review our Electronic Communications Terms & Consent, which explains the convenience-versus-security tradeoff of text and email, and our full Privacy Policy.

What conditions can be treated by telehealth?

eVisits work well for appropriate follow-up appointments, prescription refills, rashes, and other non-emergency skin concerns. Some conditions require an in-person exam, and your provider will let you know if an office visit is needed. eVisits are never appropriate for emergencies — call 911 for any medical emergency.
