How it works

Direct dermatology care, from booking through follow-up.

Know what to expect before you pay, before the visit, and after your treatment plan is created.

01
Confirm your location and choose a time

Enter the state where you will be physically located during the appointment. If care is available, choose a real-time appointment slot and review the full visit price before paying.

02
Complete your intake before the visit

Submit your medical history, medication list, allergies, treatment goals, preferred pharmacy, and clear photographs. Prior laboratory results and treatment records can also be uploaded when relevant.

03
Meet directly with Dr. Shaikh

During the 30-minute video visit, Dr. Shaikh will review the likely diagnosis, what you have tried, available treatment strategies, risks, alternatives, monitoring, and expected next steps.

04
Receive a written plan

You will receive a written treatment plan and prescriptions when clinically appropriate. Some treatments require laboratory testing, additional consent, program enrollment, or follow-up before they can begin.

After the consultation

Prescription coordination

Prescriptions are sent to your preferred pharmacy when clinically appropriate. Coverage and pharmacy processing vary by plan and prescription. Some medications may require additional documentation or prior authorization.

Laboratory recommendations

Some treatments require baseline or ongoing laboratory testing. Dr. Shaikh will explain which tests are recommended, why they are needed, and how results will be reviewed.

Follow-up timing

Follow-up intervals depend on your diagnosis and treatment. Recommended timing is included in your written plan so you know when to check in next.

When in-person care is needed

If your concern needs a hands-on examination, a procedure, or urgent evaluation, Dr. Shaikh will say so directly and suggest an appropriate referral.

Scope of care

If telemedicine is not the right setting

Some concerns require dermoscopy, biopsy, examination by touch, procedures, or urgent in-person assessment. Dr. Shaikh may recommend an in-person clinician when video care cannot safely answer the question.
