Insurance Policies:
We follow insurance carrier’s guidelines for most PPO and a limited number of HMO insurance plans. It is your responsibility to provide copies of current and accurate insurance information, including updates or changes in carriers or primary insured. Should you fail to provide this information, you will be financially responsible for all charges incurred.
You are responsible for knowledge of your own insurance benefits including but not limited to deductible, co-insurance, co-pay details, and if the doctor you are seeing is listed as participating, and in-network, under your insurance plan.
Cancellation/No-show Policy:
In order for us to see you in an efficient manner, we depend on our patients to be prompt and to notify us 1 business day in advance if there are any problems with keeping their appointment time. Therefore, we will charge a no-show fee of $50 if an appointment is not cancelled 1 business day in advance. In addition, if a patient arrives more than 15 minutes after the appointment time, we may need to reschedule.
Do you know a redhead? I’ll stay all day and all night to teach a redhead child apply sunscreen properly ❤️
Redheads typically have mutations in the MC1R (melanocortin 1 receptor) gene. This mutation leads to the production of pheomelanin instead of eumelanin, resulting in red hair, fair skin, and increased sensitivity to UV radiation.
As gorgeous as they are, unfortunately they have increased risk of melanoma (even independent of their sun exposure), and increased risk of non-melanoma skin cancers such as basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas.
If you know a redhead please send this to them and encourage them to go see a dermatologist!
And for males, just get together and put sunscreen on them - it’s a team sport 😂😂

Food Allergy = when your child develops HIVES (or vomits) 30 minutes to 6 hours after ingestion of a food. These HIVES are raised, swollen, pink, and soft rashes. Antihistamines such as @zyrtecallergy are first line of treatment.
Eczema = DRY, ROUGH, SCALY RASH. It is a chronic skin condition and antihistamines do not resolve them.
📣 Food Allergy does NOT cause Eczema.

One of the most notorious places for scarring after skin surgery? Chest area, specially in women.
So when this teenager asked me to remove this mole, I tried really hard to convince her not to do it. But as many conservatives with this age group goes:
Teenager 1, Dr. Heidi -0-
So when I did this procedure, instead of a regular football shaped🏈excision which would’ve left her with a scar three times as long as the original mole, I decided to do a purse string closure 👛 : This is when you cut the lesion in a circular fashion, and you put in a purse string suture and pull on it to create a small round scar (see next slide). This results in a scar smaller than the original mole itself 🤩
I was very happy with the results at her one week follow up. The scar will continue to fade in color over months and look better. So this California girl can continue to wear her itty bitty bikini 👙

When you are a teenager, image is everything. Please take your child’s acne seriously.
Also, acne comes and goes but acne scarring is permanent and requires cosmetic procedures such as laser treatments. So it’s best to prevent acne scarring by treating acne early !
