How does it work?

Through Teledermatology, our Nurse Practitioner can consult with an Ontario dermatologist. In addition to an examination, a special camera is used to take a photo of the skin is taken during the appointment. It is then uploaded, along with the patient’s information. A dermatologist reviews the case, giving prompt advice for patients in an average of five days.

We may be asked to take additional pictures or perform a procedure in order to complete the diagnosis of your skin condition. However, in the vast majority of cases, you will not be required to travel to meet with the dermatologist in person.
