Let Affinity Dermatology Help You Look Your Finest
For our patients’ convenience, Affinity Dermatology is pleased to offer online dermatology services. Whether you are a new or returning patient, we invite you to try this service if you require a professional consultation for a skin condition you are experiencing.
During your online consultation, you will meet with our award-winning and board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Dornechia Carter. Your visit can take place in the comfort and safety of your own home, vehicle, or office via our secure telemedicine video conferencing option.
Skin Conditions We Can Consult
Our dermatology clinic is proud to utilize the latest and greatest video conferencing technology. It allows us to privately yet conveniently consult with our patients for a variety of skin conditions, including, but not limited to:
- Acne/Accutane
- Bumps or Growths
- Cosmetic Consults
- Cold Sores/Fever Blisters
- Contact Dermatitis
- Dry Skin
- Eczema
- Hair & Scalp Issues
- Itching
- Melasma
- Psoriasis
- Rashes
- Ringworm
- Rosacea
- Shingles
- Skin Infections
- Skin Lesions
During your appointment, Dr. Carter will listen to your concerns and examine your skin condition to the best of her ability. From there, we can make an official diagnosis and recommend and prescribe dermatology treatments that will help resolve your condition or reduce its symptoms. Please note that if we are unable to diagnose your skin condition during the online consultation, we may need to see you in person at Affinity Dermatology to perform an exam.
Cases That Telemedicine Is Not Recommended For
Telemedicine visits are incredibly convenient; however, they are not necessarily the perfect solution for every skin condition or patient. If you require one of the following, we ask that you please make an appointment to visit our dermatology clinic in person.
- Biopsy
- Full Body Skin Check
- Surgical Consultation
The types of appointments listed above simply cannot be handled through a video conference because they require Dr. Carter to examine the patient and their skin concern in person.
What Makes Telemedicine Visits So Convenient?
Our video conferencing technology supports online dermatology consultations on any preferred device, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones. Because of this, your appointment with us will be more convenient than ever before. Whether you are unable to leave the house, cannot get away from work, or are busy with other obligations, our telemedicine visits allow you the flexibility to meet with Dr. Carter from a location that works best for you.
We assure you that this type of appointment is just as safe and secure as an in-person visit. Your consultation will take place between you and our dermatology clinic staff, and all of our telemedicine data is HIPAA compliant.
Benefits of Choosing Online Dermatology Services
In addition to serving as a convenient appointment option, Affinity Dermatology is pleased to offer online dermatology services due to the other benefits they provide our patients.
