Teledermatology: faster, simpler, often better

Especially for visible skin conditions.

For most non-emergency dermatology — acne, eczema, rashes, hair loss, suspicious moles — a NY-licensed dermatologist can give you a clear diagnosis and treatment plan from clear photos plus a video conversation. Average wait to see a dermatologist in NYC: 3 weeks. Our average wait: 48 hours.

FAQ

Common questions.

Will photos really be good enough for a diagnosis?

For about 85% of dermatology concerns, well-taken photos plus a video conversation provide enough information for accurate diagnosis. We send specific photo-taking instructions before your visit (lighting, angles, ruler for scale). If photos aren't sufficient, we refer for in-person evaluation — no charge.

Does NY Medicaid cover dermatology?

Yes — medical dermatology (acne, eczema, mole evaluation, etc.) is covered by NY Medicaid Managed Care plans at $0 for most members. Cosmetic dermatology (Botox, fillers, laser hair removal) is not covered by any insurance and we don't offer it.

Can you prescribe Accutane (isotretinoin)?

Yes — we have NY-licensed dermatologists who manage isotretinoin via telehealth with the required iPLEDGE enrollment, monthly check-ins, and required lab monitoring. This is one of the strongest tools for severe acne and we're committed to making it accessible.

What about a suspicious mole — should I worry?

Send us photos. We'll review carefully and tell you: looks benign, watch for changes, OR get a biopsy. We refer in-person to derm partners across NYC for biopsies. We don't biopsy via video.

Do you treat skin of color specifically?

Yes, and this is important. Many dermatology training programs underemphasize Black and brown skin, leading to missed diagnoses and treatments that cause hyperpigmentation. Our derm team includes clinicians specifically trained in skin of color.

A clear diagnosis. A real treatment plan.
