Ever ask yourself if it is possible to know the cost to see a dermatologist before making the appointment? If you aren't insured it would be nice to know how much is a dermatology appointment without insurance?
We have all been to the doctor's office or the ER not knowing what the cost would be beforehand, then only to receive the sticker shock of the medical bills arriving in the mail months later. This is becoming more common with the rise of high deductible plans or with those without health insurance.

Benefits Of Our Direct Care Model
Time For Your Skin® Direct Care Pricing
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 appointment will be upgraded to a procedural medical visit if a minor procedure is required. This includes any biopsies, skin tag removal, or cryosurgery freezings for precancers treatment during your appointment time.
You only pay one price no matter how many minor procedures are performed during your visit. You are not charged separately for every biopsy, skin tag removal, or precancer freezing treatment.
This 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 are scheduled based on your specific needs and are 15-minute or 30-minute appointments.

Mohs surgery is typically reserved for surgical treatment of skin cancer on the face, scalp, hands, feet, and genitalia. It is also commonly performed for rare forms of skin cancer or cases where a skin cancer has recurred.
While we do not offer Mohs surgery at our office, we work closely with a number of dermatologists in our community that perform the Mohs procedure. If you require Mohs for treatment, we will refer you to one of our community physicians and work closely with them to get you the appropriate treatment.
