What a New York video consultation covers
Dr. Shaikh practices dermatology in New York and holds a Clinical Instructor appointment in the Department of Dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Patients located anywhere in New York State — not only in the New York City area — can book a direct video consultation on this site.
This site is cash-pay and does not bill insurance. New York patients who want insurance-based or institutional care can use the practice's separate New York office site instead.
This state observes Eastern Time, and appointment times are shown in the time zone you select when you book.
- Insurance-based and in-person New York care is handled through the practice's separate office site, not through this direct-pay booking page.
- Prescriptions are sent electronically to the New York pharmacy you choose during the visit.
Who can book from New York
- You will be physically located in New York during the video appointment. Eligibility follows your location that day, not your mailing address.
- You are 18 or older.
- You are paying directly for the visit. This practice does not bill insurance, and Medicare or Medicare Advantage patients cannot book online — contact the practice instead.
- Follow-up visits are for patients Dr. Shaikh has already seen.
If you will be located outside the states where care is currently offered, the visit cannot be scheduled and no payment is taken.
