THE PRACTICE
Latest Clinic News:
Winter 2020-2021
To protect both you and our staff, we have instituted a number of changes to ensure the best possible infection control, as recommended by the CDC and the American Academy of Dermatology.
If you would like to make an appointment, please call us at 781-449-3588. We anticipate that for the immediate future we will be seeing all patients in our Needham office. Patients can also be seen virtually via telemedicine, as explained below.
Telemedicine virtual visits
We have been conducting virtual visits by phone, smartphone and tablet, and we find that it works well for a number of situations. Acne, some rashes and even some skin lesions can be effectively evaluated and treated without an in-person visit. We are planning to continue and expand our offering of virtual visits. They are usually covered by insurance and are easy to arrange. Our staff will be happy to set up a virtual visit for you.
We may all look a little different to you, as we will be wearing masks and face shields. Don’t be alarmed, we are still the warm, friendly office that we have always been!
Sincerely yours,
Jay Cohen and staff
