Consultation
All new dermatology patients are scheduled for a full 30-minute medical dermatology appointment to allow sufficient time to review medical history, perform a full-body skin examination, and address all 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.
Our concierge practice offers an introductory discovery call for potential patients. Dr. Villacorta limits her practice to 50 patients to ensure high-quality care and attention. Accepted patients receive a comprehensive 1-hour introductory visit and full physical exam. This visit includes a thorough evaluation of medical history, medications, vaccinations, family history, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle factors such as mental health, sleep, and diet and exercise.
Treatment
After your consultation, we’ll build a treatment plan based on your needs and goals. At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine you are seen by a board-certified physician—not by a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant. In our practice, you will always interact, be cared for, and be advised by a physician specifically trained in the field of dermatology.
Next Steps
At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, we’re dedicated to assisting you with your treatment plan and making necessary adjustments as your skin’s needs evolve. Dr. Villacorta offers flexible follow-up options, be it through convenient virtual visits or in-office consultations, to provide ongoing and holistic support.
We pride ourselves on being a small, personable practice with a friendly staff where patients are treated like family, unlike large, impersonal practices. Our commitment to building long-term patient relationships is rooted in providing exceptional care within a patient-centered environment.
Dr. Villacorta specializes in performing skin surgery under local anesthesia right in our outpatient office. Our approach ensures a convenient and comfortable experience for our patients.
Surgical rates at our office are based on time spent in surgery, offering an upfront understanding of the procedure costs. The following table provides an approximate time for common surgical procedures, making it easy for you to estimate the costs involved.
Mohs surgery, typically reserved for surgical treatment of skin cancer on the face, scalp, hands, feet, and genitalia, is also performed for rare forms of skin cancer or in cases where skin cancer has recurred. Although this specialized surgery is not available at our office, we consider it an important part of comprehensive skin care and cancer treatment.
To ensure that our patients receive the best care possible, we maintain a close working relationship with a number of esteemed dermatologists in our community who specialize in the Mohs procedure.
If you require Mohs surgery for treatment, rest assured that our commitment to your care does not stop at our office door. We facilitate a seamless transition to one of our trusted community physicians, working hand in hand with them throughout the process. Your health and care are our top priority, and we are dedicated to ensuring you receive the appropriate treatment, whether that’s within our office or through a community partner.
Our downtown Fort Lauderdale location proudly accepts Medicare patients for dermatological care only, offering them the same high-quality dermatological care we’re known for. However, it’s important to note that patients covered by Medicare have unique billing requirements.
Due to unique Medicare regulations, billing for Medicare patients deviates from our standard direct care dermatology pricing structure. But rest assured, our commitment to transparency, quality care, and patient satisfaction remains the same.
At our clinic, we’re passionate about providing exceptional dermatology services to all members of our community.

When we started as a dermatologist in Fort Lauderdale, we knew we wanted to offer our patients a better healthcare experience. The direct care model offers our patients personalized dermatologic care, transparent pricing, and longer and more relaxed visits. More than that, many patients pay less for their dermatological care compared to the traditional healthcare model.
For dermatology services, we only accept Medicare. We are considered out-of-network for all private insurances, giving our patients the freedom to choose any physician they want. We don’t accept Medicare Advantage HMO.
Our concierge primary care operates independently of insurance, opting not to accept any insurance plans.
We kindly ask that you call the office at 954-463-5406 to schedule an appointment and inform our staff that you are covered by Medicare.
Yes, you can still use your health insurance for prescriptions at your pharmacy.
We try to prescribe generics as much as possible. That being said, even some generic medications have increased dramatically in price. If that is the case, we will work to find alternative medications or pharmacies to assist you.
For added convenience, our practice includes an in-house pharmacy, exclusively for our patients. This service allows us to dispense medications at reasonable costs, enhancing the overall care experience by offering both convenience and affordability.
We believe that you should be seen by a board-certified physician at each visit. Our practice does not employ any physician assistants or nurse practitioners.
All new dermatology patients are scheduled for a 30-minute consultation to review their medical history and receive a full skin examination. Please arrive early to complete the new patient paperwork. Certain appointments, such as surgical and cosmetic procedures, require a deposit to reserve.
New patients joining our concierge medicine program will have a comprehensive 1-hour initial visit and full-body physical exam. For this appointment, please bring your ID, any lab work from the past year, a list of your current medications and supplements, and any other relevant information that could assist in beginning your healthcare journey with us.
Payment is due at checkout for all medical, cosmetic, and surgical visits. We accept all credit, health savings account (HSA), and flexible spending account (FSA) cards. We will hold your credit card information in our secure processing system at the time of booking. Charges will be applied for no-shows and cosmetic and surgical deposits. HSA and FSA cards must be used for non-cosmetic services. Some procedures may require a deposit at the time of booking.
Payment for our concierge primary care services is based on a monthly membership billing structure.
We have negotiated a special rate with the pathology lab for $75 per specimen. We collect this charge on behalf of the patient and pay the lab directly so patients won’t receive another bill.
If you wish to use your commercial medical insurance for laboratory charges then please inform the office at the time of your visit. Keep in mind that depending on your insurance the commercial insurance rate may be higher than our negotiated rate.
With just a few simple questions, our treatment planning tool will deliver personalized recommendations right to your inbox.
