Virtual Visit

Virtual Visits for Medical Dermatology Through United Skin Specialists

At United Skin Specialists, we know how busy the lives of our patients can be. With our virtual dermatology visits, we can provide you access to our board-certified dermatologists easier, faster and more conveniently than ever before. This “virtual visit” is similar to an in-office appointment with dermatologists you trust, and available when you need it most.

We can consult online for thousands of skin, hair and nail conditions that require urgent attention but are non-emergency. This service is for medical dermatology appointments only and cannot be used for cosmetic dermatology consultations.
