What can I expect during a general dermatology consultation?
When you visit the Polley Clinic you can expect a comprehensive evaluation.
During your general dermatology consultation your provider asks detailed questions about your condition. They also review your medical and family history, as well as the types of medications and supplements you take.
Your provider then examines your skin, paying close attention to the area causing your concern. If needed, your provider may take a biopsy to either make or confirm a diagnosis.
Polley Clinic values patient education. Your provider will talk to you and provide you with print material about your diagnosis and the recommended treatment so you can make the most informed decisions about your care.
