Question 1

Is the dermatologist board-certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All consultations are with a physician board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology, with hospital affiliations in Austin. Board certification means residency-trained in dermatology and passing rigorous national exams.

Question 2

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

We accept most major medical insurance plans including BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Humana for medical dermatology visits (acne, eczema, skin cancer screening, etc). Cosmetic services such as Botox, fillers and laser are paid out of pocket and not covered by insurance.

Question 3

How soon can I get an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Most new patients are seen within one to two weeks. Urgent skin concerns such as suspicious moles, severe rashes, or shingles can usually be accommodated within 48 hours. Cosmetic consultations are typically available within the week. Call (512) 877-1389 to schedule.

Question 4

How often should I get a skin cancer screening?

Accepted Answer

The American Academy of Dermatology recommends an annual full-body skin exam for adults, especially in sunny climates like Austin. Higher-risk patients (personal or family history of skin cancer, many moles, fair skin) may need screening every 6 months.

Question 5

Will Botox make me look frozen or unnatural?

Accepted Answer

Not when injected by an experienced board-certified dermatologist. We use conservative, anatomy-based dosing tailored to your facial expressions. The goal is to look refreshed and rested, not frozen. We will discuss your expectations during consultation.

Question 6

Do you treat children?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our pediatric dermatology service treats infants, children and teens for conditions such as eczema, warts, molluscum contagiosum, birthmarks, and teen acne. We have a kid-friendly clinic and parents are welcome in the exam room.

Question 7

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), HSA/FSA cards, and CareCredit financing for cosmetic procedures. Co-pays and deductibles are due at the time of service.
