common focused appointment questions

FAQ

what does a focused appointment involve?

A Focused Appointment is a dedicated appointment where a specific skin concern or condition is the sole topic of evaluation and discussion. The purpose of Focused Appointment is to ensure that each specific concern receives the in-depth attention it deserves.

how should i prepare for my focused appointment?

It is generally advised to come with a clear understanding of your concern, any relevant personal and family medical history, and up to date medication and allergy lists.

Be ready to discuss when you first notice the issue and any changes over time. You can also bring older photos to show and copies of any recent labs or other testing.

can i bring up additional concerns during my focused appointment?

Concentrating on one issue ensures a thorough examination, accurate diagnosis, and effective treatment planning without rushing or overlooking details.

If a person has multiple concerns, especially if they are complex or involved, each concern may require its own Focused Appointment to ensure comprehensive care. We recommend that you discuss with our clinic how best to schedule these.

how is a focused appointment different from a standard dermatology appointment?

While general appointments address multiple skin concerns, a Focused Appointment zeroes in on one specific issue for a thorough and detailed assessment.

will any treatments or procedures be performed during a focused appointment?

The primary goal is evaluation, education and discussion, but minor treatments or tests such as biopsies may be done if deemed necessary and time permits.

how long does a focused appointment take?

The duration can vary but usually lasts about 15 minutes on average, depending on the complexity of the concern. We strive to ensure that all your concerns are addressed efficiently, and you receive the care you need without delay. It is important to us to make every minute counts and we appreciate your understanding as we work to provide quality service to all our patients.

can i schedule a focused appointment over telemedicine?

Yes, we do offer telemedicine for Focused Appointments. However, the suitability of telemedicine depends on the nature of the concern; some issues may still require an in-person evaluation for a thorough assessment. It’s always best to check with us over the phone when scheduling so that we may provide triage with telemedicine limitations in mind to ensure that you are offered the most appropriate appointment type.
