During a new-patient visit, we need to gather information about your personal and medical history—information that we won’t have to gather during subsequent appointments. Also, new patients frequently haven’t had a full skin exam in quite some time. Together, these make the first visit more comprehensive.

The exact time an appointment will require depends on your individual needs, condition, concerns, and other factors.
