If you cannot make your appointment, we ask that you change your appointment online or notify us by phone or email to cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance.  This allows us to offer the appointment time to another patient who may have been waiting for an earlier appointment.

New patients are required to complete a medical intake form

For cosmetic treatments, consent forms must be completed even if you are a regular patient. The medical intake form and consent forms contain questions relating to your current medical care and previous medical history. In the case of cosmetic treatments, you are required to complete all questions to allow the physician to assess your suitability for treatment. All information provided on the consultation and consent forms will be discussed between you and your physician. This confidential discussion will enable both to ensure that your goals are understood and achievable. During your consultation we will also thoroughly explain the treatment, ensure you understand the advantages and if there are risks associated with the treatment and assess your suitability. If the treatment is unsuitable we will explain the reason why and what your options are and offer an alternative where possible. Lumos Dermatology® complies with HIPAA and all information given will be held in the strictest of confidence and under no circumstances whatsoever, be passed onto any third party.
