PRESCRIBER’S CHOICE

image Dermatology introduced an in office prescription program, Prescriber's Choice

Patients tell us often and they cannot get the medicine we prescribed for the dermatology conditions because insurance will not cover it. We feel that interferes with the quality care we provide at image Dermatology ® P.C..

We have introduced an in office prescription program. It is a convenient medication dispensing program that allows our patients to get prescriptions in our office so there is no need to go to the pharmacy or hassle with insurance. Additionally, you can rest assured it is the exact medication your doctor or PA wants you to have for your specific condition.

Studies show drug therapy is 60% to 70% better when medications are delivered at the point of care in the doctor’s office, compared to when patients are handed a written prescription.

Since January 2019 we started working with a FDA registered 503B outsourcing facility to provide more affordable options for your prescriptions and couldn’t be more excited to share them with our patients!

These specialties, individualized medications in their purest form of active ingredients offer far more than any branded or generic medication on the market and have several key benefits to prevent adverse effects. They are more tolerable for patients.

  • No Fillers
  • Allergen free
  • Preservative free
  • Dye free
  • No irritants

At this time we offer several prescriptions for purchase immediately after your visit to ease access to the medications and, ultimately, improve your results! This allows us to better tailor our patient’s treatment regimen and is generally less expensive than copayments
