For Patients

Dawes Fretzin Dermatology information for patients Appointments

We strive to give all patients the earliest available appointment. If you have a very urgent problem, your primary care physician's office is welcome to call us with the details. We request 24 hours notice for cancellations, as this will enable us to fill the appointment time; there is a $25 fee for missed appointments and a $75 fee for missed surgical appointments without appropriate notice. We reserve the right not to reschedule you if you repeatedly miss appointments.

What to bring

  • A complete list of the medications (prescription and non-prescription) you are currently taking
  • Your most recent insurance card(s)
  • A referral from your primary care physician, if necessary/required by your insurance plan.

Payment for services

By contract, we are required to collect copays at the time of service. We accept cash, check and Visa/ Mastercard/ Discover. We will bill your insurance company and we do accept assignment from them. Any remaining balance will be billed to you. If you do not have insurance, or do not have your card with you for your visit, full payment will be requested at the time of service.

Prescription refills

Please call our office during regular business hours to request prescription refills. We try to accommodate these requests on the same day, though it is not always possible. Return calls will only occur if there is a problem or question regarding your request; you should call your pharmacy to see if the refill request has been fulfilled. Yearly visits are necessary to maintain a status as an active patient and to qualify for prescription refills.
