How Much Does A Dermatologist Cost?
Transparent Healthcare Pricing
Ever found yourself questioning if it's possible to know the cost of seeing a dermatologist before booking the appointment?
Imagine this: You want to see a dermatologist and you know your health is important, but the costs seem daunting, almost intimidating. You're left wondering, "How much will a dermatology appointment cost me without insurance?"
The uncertainty can be agonizing. You've probably experienced that sinking feeling - visiting a doctor's office or the ER, completely in the dark about what the final bill will be. The sticker shock of receiving the medical bills months later can be overwhelming, a feeling becoming all too familiar with the rise of high deductible plans and the increasing number of people without health insurance.
But healthcare shouldn't be this complicated. You deserve the right to see your doctor without the constant worry of insurance hassles and billing nightmares.

Benefits Of Our Direct Care Model
Clear costs, clear mind. Know medical pricing before the appointment.
Time For Your Skin®
Medical Dermatology Rates
Time For Your Skin® is our direct to patient preferred pricing model. We offer 15-minute and 30-minute appointments to address your medical concerns.
Your visit includes cryosurgery freezing treatment for pre-cancerous growths or warts during your appointment time. There is no separate charge and you only pay one price no matter how many of these growths are treated during your visit.
You are not charged separately for every pre-cancerous freezing treatment.
This added value can save you money compared to practices that take private insurance.
All new patients are scheduled for a full 30-minute medical dermatology appointment to allow sufficient time to review your medical history, perform a full-body skin examination, and address all your dermatological concerns.
Follow up appointments for a skin condition are scheduled for 15 minutes, but the longer 30 minute appointment can be scheduled if you want more time with Dr. Villacorta.
Appointments for full body skin checks are always scheduled for 30 minutes.
