Email – Questions in regards to current treatment plan may be addressed. New or ongoing medical issues that require changing of medication or treatment plan, and other issues not previously discussed, require an office visit.

Prescription Policy

Most prescriptions are written with refills. Please contact your pharmacy first to determine if you have any remaining refills. • Follow-up evaluations are required to obtain prescription refills beyond the initial prescription and its refills. Please schedule follow-up appointments early so as not to run out of your medications. • For patient safety, prescriptions will not be refilled if patient has not been seen in a medical appointment in the last 3 months for pills and last 6 months for topicals (i.e. creams or gels). We apologize for any inconvenience as no exceptions to this rule will be granted. Prescription refill requests are addressed as soon as possible but may take up to 48 business hours. • Cosmetic appointments not related to medical conditions are not considered “follow-up” appointments for medical conditions. • Cosmetic patients requesting prescriptions for medical conditions must be checked in as a medical patient and will be assessed a medical visit fee at a reduced rate. • Isotretinoin (Accutane) requires monthly in-office follow-up appointments.

Payment Policy

Co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles will be collected at the time of service.

Medical visits: If you have not met your deductible, you are responsible for paying the contracted amount of your fees. We may collect a percentage of the charges at the time of service.

Balances older than 90 days will be subject to finance charges of 1.5% per month or 18% annually.
